How was it justified?

Oh, no, we had the aftermath planned just fine - they’d throw flowers at our feet, greet us as liberators, remember?

Ugh, this kind of article is annoying. Acting like war is always a bad thing is ridiculous on its face, and moreover, how do their nieces and nephews deserve that? I’m sure Europe is happy there was an intervention in the 40s, or South Korea in the 50s, and we didn’t need to shoot anyone in the knee for that.

I don’t see a problem with this investigation. Whatever the intent of Equal Protection laws may be in addressing an unequal status quo, they 100% should be written to apply to everyone. That white straight men have had a major social/political/economic advantage does not mean that will always be the case, and the law…

Men may get the hint but they’ll ignore it. There is a history of men crashing lesbian bars, shutting down all-women coding workshops and suing over ladies’ night specials. It’s a small percentage of guys, to be sure, but they are vocal and determined to stop women from excluding them.

Because then you can set the policy and goals, and have the company run in way that’s more beneficial to your members.

Which is why CEOs exist. The owners don’t have to run the company day to day. But they can set policy and goals.

Specific to your question though, alternative energy already is free. Solar, wind, hydro... all free.

I think part of the whole argument the author is making is that public pension funds do do that. There is obviously a huge difference between taking an activist, private equity-esque approach, and one in which the pension is a passive yet vocal stockholder

Well, to take what will be an unpopular stance, it’s probably because teacher’s unions intersect very closely with very personal stakes for almost all Americans, and like many unions, there is a lot wrong with the teacher’s unions. All unions are run for the benefit of senior members, not the entirety of the union,…

What would be really interesting is if some of the larger funds started just buying companies, and turning the whole company into a profit center for the fund.

So... how are you buying that generator of alternative energy? What are you powering with it? How are you buying/procuring food? Are you going back to a barter economy, or using the capitalist-government supported currency?

When in Rome only applies when the behavior is obvious.

Inside a restaurant is a semi-public space, the same as a museum or landmark. If the proprietor wants to evict you for acting in a rude manner, then that is his/her prerogative, but from the perspective of a customer, it should be considered public space.

With the Democratic party abandoning many principles, including helping the Dreamers and not bowing to big money, I guess the Republican plan can work. They’ll fire up the cultists to go out and vote, while alienating the rest of the population from voting. It’s worked before, it’ll work again now, especially when…

Guys would just lie about being on it to get bareback.

We’re not talking about tourists. We’re talking about foreign residents in Japan, which this Youtuber is. Like I said above. Nobody is suggesting foreigners adapt in a matter of days. Not even Japanese think that way.

Have you ever walked anywhere in New York City? Japanese tourists have absolutely zero problem sticking a camera in someone’s face. In other words, if I, as a New York native, have only had cultural interaction with Japanese people in the context of their being tourists, then common sense dictates I act similarly when…

How about this: Have some common sense and a basic sense of good manners? Pretend that you’re a guest in someone’s house when visiting another country.

There’s always idiots that just have to push the boundaries and just refuse to try and understand Japanese social rules. Most are unspoken, but these particular foreigners need to get a clue.
