Glad you already learned this is probably nonsense. The wrong reasoning is very similar to much thought about overpopulation. The amount of people that makes for a place to be overpopulated is a function of how societies work and the technologies they have at hand. One extra issue there is that improvements in technology usually lead to population growth, so much progress gets cancelled out.
You know when we first started seeing growing populations and development of agriculture? When the climate started an exceptionally long stable period. Guess what’s going put of the window now? Planting for draught because that’s the “new normal” won’t get you far if the next year happens to be the wettest on record. Let alone that stronger storms than ever seen before aren’t exactly great for harvests either. And that’s just agriculture. Climate related disasters can wipe out key infrastructure, with unexpected consequences down the line (e.g. no car production because of a certain specific part of almost all cars comes from that one specific place). And then there’s the refugee problem on top of all that.
Yeah, the centre. But many places like this are half dead at the core, with car centered suburbs around it and shops in big malls along the roads. The difference with Spain is stark, where the old centres are usually still the actual heart of the village.
There’s millions of Venezuelans in Colombia, Ecuador and further South. But their options there are for more limited than in the US.
Didn’t he basically campaign with this?
Isn’t it as much about showing up to vote than about changing minds who to vote for?
Do as the other poster said. The Benelux is also a place where you could probably work with just English. Bonus points if you manage to get a job where you’re allowed to work from, say Portugal (for the weather and the low living costs) Good luck on the job hunt!
Have you looked into the European job market? From what little I know, I have the impression here that kind of profile can pick among any number of jobs.
Just having the vote on a non working day or giving (almost) everyone obligatory paid leave that day is way easier and could already have quite an impact.
If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don’t knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect
They are not excluded, it’s just the the number of people is used, not the amount of money
For Harris, yes. For Biden: just “not anymore”. Which can happen when you have geriatric folks doing this kind of job.
Bolivians don’t need CIA approval to plot a coup
I’m pretty sure they’ll do increasingly farcical votes for some time after.
NDA, not BJP, got 293 seats
And here I am with 35 days, which we’re expected to take.
It won’t, but at least you’re not part of the problem anymore. You might inspire other people to. And every person who goes plantbased makes it more politically viable to enact policies to encourage plant based over the most destructive other foods. Try to avoid discouraging people who try to do the right thing, help them make a bigger impact instead.
Didn’t they have 3% economic growth last year?
One of the things I read about that, is that people tend to take an “average position” between all the opinions they hear. It used to be that the opinions you’d hear would be based on serious media, and your close circles. But much of the media has gone to shit, and social media amplify crazy people because it’s good for engagement. So you end up hearing about the crazy position of lore as much as about the rational one. And that does influence a lot of people.
