It was true, which is why they used to march out of step. It’s not a problem for protest matches that are not in time.

Yes, I agree. The ultra rich won’t be affected as their assets price will rise. The boomers who have reverse mortgages their house have cash, or a perpetuity. The asset will rise. Their money will not.

The poor will certainly be worse off, as they always are. The young will be worse off. However, their wages will rise to catch up. Maybe not enough, but a rose nonetheless. The boomers depending on the reverse mortgage income or the cash pile from the agreement will just have devaluation.

Boomers will be more worse off in dollar terms and percent of wealth lost. At least, that’s my guess.

lol, he wouldn’t even win the Nobel pizza prize if it was free after 30 minutes and he’d waiting a year.

So, they recognize that how people identify is important? They just choose not to recognize what they identify as. That seems like it would open the door legally to force recognition of identity. IANAL.

I think crashing the dollar is more likely to screw the boomers than the young. They have the wealth which will devalue. The super wealthy with generational wealth will be fine as inflation will help their assets. the boomers transitioning from assets to cash for stability in retirement will be screwed.

A lot of the cash will go on healthcare. But a bunch will go on trips in retirement and other stuff…of course no wealth transfer any more except for the uber wealthy.

It’s a case of the young no longer having a large sun of money at once to buy a house while also taking housing off the market. This reduces supply and demand keeping prices somewhat affordable for corps but out of reach for people. Renting is the new serfdom.

Sell all their homes to corporation in a reverse mortgage, so they get the cash now and the homes stay off the market for young people.

Really?

Lol, you think steam decks won’t go up in price too? Sanctions affect everything. If you already have a deck you’re unaffected but if you already have a switch you’re also unaffected, for now…

I have a PS5. I don’t intend to ever buy a console again. That era is dead.

The idea is to make sure others don’t release damaging data, and that they fudge the numbers or lose their job. It’s a warning as much as revenge.

I think you are misunderstanding the roads. The roads in towns and cities have footpath and lighting. These are rural roads with minimal car or foot traffic.

Conversion would be both cost prohibitive and wasteful. Not to mention that many of these roads are narrow and to wide sufficiently would mean encroaching on people’s houses or farms.

Ireland already has one of the lowest level of road deaths per 100, 000 people globally. This is not a case where the road system needs evaluation but a low cost method to reduce road deaths further.

I think you’re looking at it from a USA overzealous cop perspective. It’s like seat belt laws. Nobody ever gets a fine (ticket). It’s setting an expectation to force through mentality change.

Ireland has aggressive road safety advertising that puts the blame and onus on the driver. There is a culture of driving safe being the responsible thing to do and not tolerating speeding or drink driving. (There are enforced fines for those). It’s socially unacceptable to drive after drinking. It does still happen but at low levels. Whereas other countries, it’s illegal but common.

Here is a sample of a recent ad.

This Irish Road Safety Ad Is So Horrifying, It’s Banned On TV Before 9PM : r/fuckcars https://share.google/MpYA2UolsWhyuWkD0

Where you live, do people already wear reflective gear to go walking? In Ireland they do already.

With the highest road density?

What about kids? Should we let the parent decide or,.if it’s a blatantly obvious way to protect them, should we prosecute parent that don’t suitably dress their kids for the risk? Or require it. Personally, o don’t have a problem with making it a requirement. Knowing the Irish gardaî, of expect light enforcement.

Those roads already have a lower speed limit. I think the geography of the landscape and the neighbouring properties does not allow them to be more visible without loss of scenery.

Roads are designed for transport. Cars can be fatal. It’s all well and good to say we should be safer but is wearing appropriate clothing when walking in a shared car pedestrian zone really be that onerous?

We already require the cars to have multiple safety standards to aid pedestrians and visibility. Cyclists are required to wear helmets in many places etc.

I am finding it odd that many comments talk about pedestrian freedom, yet jaywalking is illegal in many places but not in Ireland, where people can use their personal judgement and the cars are held responsible.

Like seatbelts, of it saves lives and is harmless, then why not. If no lives are saved, nobody is worse off. If one life is saved, it’s worth it. Like seatbelts laws, the idea is a change in thinking not to fine people for non compliance.

I doubt it will become mandatory. It seems more like a thought bubble. Ireland used to have very high road death figures but has worked hard to change that.

It should be noted that in rural areas, many roads are unlit and quite winding. Ireland has very high road density with lots of minor roads. Many people walk on these roads which have no path. Use of lights and reflective or hi vis clothing is sensible and already common.

There is still disputed land: Northern Ireland.

Ireland has seen where this goes and it is likely why they are one of the European countries most critical of Israel. Ireland recognizes genocide and colonialism and lies at the state level.

The Republic of Ireland have up all claims to northern Ireland as part of the peace process. All terrorists were given amnesty on both sides. If it’s in their interest to keep fighting to stay out of jailz they will.

It is a fine line between punishing war crimes and crimes against humanity, and allowing everyone to move forwards. Israe and paesinel are far from there.

Perhaps you’d enjoy the tv show Six Fewt Under. It’s a family drama set in a family that happen to own a funeral home. It deals with death and loss and trauma and personal growth and happiness.

It gets the stoner comedy reputation as the dude is stoned throughout. He’s a character in the movie though, not then full tone. That’s probably why it’s so good. It blends so many genres with an interesting interweaving plot and wonderful dialogue.

It’s a deserved reputation as it’s great to watch stoned. Especially when the dude is confused and so are you. Or the psychedelic sequences. However it’s also not deserved as it’s so much cleverer than that with differen levels. A stoner comedy doesn’t normally have a coherent plot and levels.

I’ve got 2 kids in primary school. We teach them to be kind and caring, that cheaters never win. That bullies are bullies because they are not happy.

However a study came out that compared bullies and non bullies. Bullies kids are more likely to be successful financially and socially based on studies. I was sad for humanity when o found out.

It makes sense, in the same way that it makes sense that CEO’s are more likely to be sociopaths. Human brains are made for small societies. When it’s a larger society, negative traits can be helpful to get ahead. It’s likely part of the reason we experience wars and famine and billionaires.
