And even that isn't good enough, obviously. Billionaire executives and shareholders need to stop being so greedy and pay their workers more.

> I’ve learned that voting doesn’t really work.

Every time someone says this a kid gets kicked out of a school lunch program.

He wants to buy time for the situation to calm down and then he can return to legislation. He wants to discourage the protesters and opponents.

I’d say “I would love to move to Germany but really don’t want to learn German!”

Could you just bring your worker protections, time off, and healthcare system here instead please?

France is not in the state of war or conflict. There is no reason for refugees and asylum seekers to illegally cross from France to Britain because their lives are not endangered by being in France or other european country. If they want to travel, they can do it legally. Otherwise, they are committing a crime and should be treated as criminals.

The stolen children have already been re-programed and now will be loyal workers Building bombs and munitions to kill their own families

The US would strike but we have no clue how to organize and fear our managers.

Germans work some of the lowest hours in the world and also have high incomes. It is without a doubt one of the best places in the world to be a lower or middle class worker.

Pay and free time are not the issue causing low birth rates there.

Just read that the judicial "reform" attempt was postponed to July. No time to give up yet, unfortunately.

> Doctors are bad because their existence incentivizes people to take risks they might shy away from if there were no doctors.

I haven't seen any seriously make this argument for doctors because they are too far removed from decision making, but it is a discussion when adding new safety features to a dangerous activity. If the new safety feature encourages more dangerous behavior, then the safety needs to be worth the increase in dangerous behavior. Generally it is. Sometimes it isn't but it is added for legal/liability reasons; that's another case of perverse incentives.

Which is why I don't think these protests will stop merely because they postponed the judicial overhaul. The protests are not going away until Netanyahu resigns.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 66%. (I'm a bot)

> A new immigration bill in the UK that aims to stop migrants crossing the Channel illegally on small boats from France is "Incompatible" with Britain's international obligations, Europe's top rights body said on Monday.

> In a letter addressed to both chambers of the UK parliament, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatovic, urged lawmakers to vote against the bill proposed by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative government.

> If passed, the bill would "Add to the already significant regression of the protection of the human rights" of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in the UK and "Provide an incentive" to other states in Europe and beyond to adopt similar measures, she said.

I know working conditions are worse in the US. However, we have a lot more immigration to make up for the low birth rate of US citizens.

Why?

Jesus. Wtf do people in USA say then if that’s what’s happening in Germany?

You completed ignored the first question.

Your glib response to the second question deflects away from the first question but it doesn't address the change from a few hundred in 2015 to 21,000 in 2017. Try to look at the big picture and think a little harder. I await your "orange man bad" reply. Yawn.

I am going by the Freedom house freedom ranking there it's closer to eastern European countries and much better than Sri Lanka , Ukraine etc. Which are actually under the threat of going to Russia levels cause they are in economic crisis/wars.

Russia has never been a democratic since the collapse of Ussr in 1991. Saying a country which has been a democracy for 75+ years is suddenly gonna collapse to Russia levels is insane and that too without any crisis or wars.

I agree that India always had a problem with freedom of press and overreaching laws but saying it's gonna go strongly in any direction is not logical. Indian democracy will do little movements in any side thus making claims that there is a trend or anything is not logical.

I agree that India needs to take actions but I will disagree with you on sudden downturns and Russia comparison.

Too bad we usually kick disgusting creeps like you out of the window :)

Or maybe educated, responsible people with access to birth control choose to have fewer children later instead of popping out their first baby at 21. Which is great for the educated responsible people, but terrible for the long-term future of the country.

As a matter of fact, Germany has some of the strongest benefits for young parents in the world, to the extend where many people move back to Germany just to have children.

It's people like him that pop up in governments around the world that give me little hope in those in power. General strikes seem to be the only thing that really does anything.

One choice is suspending the coup for a few months so the public lets their guard down. In the meantime, he can regroup with a propaganda campaign, organize gangs of thugs to deter protesters and purge key positions of any dissidents by simply firing them or by blackmailing them.

>sovereignty

>noun

>Supremacy of authority or rule as exercised by a sovereign or sovereign state.

>Royal rank, authority, or power.

>Complete independence and self-government.

What this means is that Russia (and any other sovereign nation) has full power in relation to itself. The ICC has no more power or rights over it than some random farmer in Rwanda who never even heard of Russia.

The ICC (and any other court) has no jurisdiction over Russia (or any other country) other than whichever jurisdiction those countries allow it, to the extent they are allowing, and for as long as they are allowing.

It doesn't matter if Ukraine (or every single other person in the world that has ever existed or ever will exist) agrees that the ICC has jurisdiction because Russia does not, and when it comes to sovereign nations that is all it matters.

Absolutely maddening that far right wingers in many countries can try to ram through wildly unpopular legislation or other chicanery but when time comes for election they either win or very narrowly lose because people just don't turn out to actually vote.

"Voting doesn't matter" is the greatest psyop of the 21st century. Whoever came up with this media campaign to encourage voter apathy is an evil genius.

Seriously; small threats ? Small things like freedom of press (150/180) and flagrant violations of human rights reported by all organizations ? These are major things that democracy cannot survive with indefinitely as seen in Russia recently. Democracy is more than free elections one has to also abide by democratic values.
