Answer issues in ways that would increase social freedom, and you get more of 'em. Do the opposite, and you'll get less.

Monopolies provided minimum wage jobs that they wouldn’t have now

New Slonia wrote:Monopolies provided minimum wage jobs that they wouldn’t have now

Though you do not need big multinationals for that, who often pay less than minimum wage.

Forsworn Gods

New Slonia wrote:Monopolies provided minimum wage jobs that they wouldn’t have now

minimum wage isn't as much a killer to small businesses as are massive corporations, and it some cases they help small businesses.

Also, higher wages should come from strong regulated unions, not the "mercy" of faceless corporations

that sounds cool. id also be interested to see how technocrats "justify" (for lack of a better world) human rights

Human rights are the fundamental rights of every human. I think they are the basis for a fair and caring society. They should ensue that everyone is provided for, everyone is treated with dignity, everyone is treated equally by the law and given a fair trial, the right to seek asylum, etc. I'm not entirely sure why anyone, technocrat or otherwise, would be opposed to them. Unfortunately they're often completely ignored. And too many people have had to 'justify' their rights to the majority, who often have all these rights themselves.

There's nothing fundamental about anything political. Rights, driving regulations, whether or not you can hunt for ivory... etc. Your rights, such as they are, derive from the political entity you exist within. This stuff doesn't exist by magic, on its own, as a force of nature. Nothing will actually happen to you if you violate "human rights" without an entity around to observe and punish you. This is why building a responsibly governed state is so important.

I 100% agree that rights aren't fundamental or given to us just because. I think our rights are whatever we claim and can demand them to be. We select what rights we think we deserve and then start the eternal struggle to maintain them.

There is one small bit I need some help with. The validity of Option two isn't filled in, and I don't quite know what to put there. Prolly not for nations without capitalism (no free market, no privately owned tournament), and one other thing. I'm debating disallowing it for nations without contact sport, but I'm not sure if NS has a policy for things like tournaments to the death/gladiatorial combat (which would be much more appropriate). I remember seeing something similar before, but I forget when and where.

I think NS has something for gladiatorial/ contact sports

I just checked a dispatch that lists all the policies. They have one for contact sports, but not gladiatorial combat.

To be Fair I can see the logic: Less people owning guns means less civil rights. Even if the logic is flawed.

Hello STU! How is everyone? I hope you're well! Please remember that if you're in the World Assembly to endorse all our WA peeps (including me and our Delegate, Will!

wake up, sheeple. "coffee", "coffee beans" and "coffee trees" are a hoax. A big, fat hoax, believe you me! And I should know, so you can trust me. Smart people consider me the smartest person ever, they said that to my face an everything. I've been to the swamp and I drained it, I drained it good and proper. These so-called beans are just a tool to make you productive for your job and sleepy in your own free time. They are chains! Chains I tell you! These beans are the mass produced by immigrants and filled with cocaine and cocoa powder they brought while illegaly crossing our border. The most beautiful border in the world by the way. They are paid by Bill Gates to increase Windows and Office subscriptions and steal jobs from hard-working, god fearing, gun toting Americans. If you add some letters and substract some others and you switch them around a little, the word 'coffee bean' says made in china. It doesn't make sense, but that's how much they hate you.

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

I honestly have no idea. Coffee is weird and should be shunned, for it is heresy against holy tea.

I do not have a proper scientific background, but logic would tell me that, because coffee beans are roasted before they are sold, they should not be able to sprout a new coffee plant anymore. Hence, no.

these coffee farmers aren't sending their best. They’re sending beans that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing bitterness. They’re bringing shriveled beans. They’re unripe. And some, I assume, are good beans

Heyo

I-I can't even begin to describe what just happened to me. I was laying there, contemplating how close I had come to death, and I felt this sudden peace, like my problems were nonexistent. I flashed back to the earlier life, when I would spend time with my brother. I remembered my mother, from before she passed away. I remembered each and every friend I have ever had, and every single time they made me laugh or smile. Most especially, I thought of my boyfriend. I remembered every moment that we've spent together, every glorious conversation. I felt all of these people around me, like they were there all along. Before I knew it, I was crying. Not out of sorrow, but of joy. I delved into myself, searching for any shred of the burdens I've carried for ten years. I found nothing. It's like all the darkness ,all the pain, all the secrets and burdens had been washed away. Above all, I felt this soft but intense feeling in my chest, like a gentle love that would burn for eternity. I've never felt so happy in my life.
