So many answers for strong opinions on "do what you like".

A not-strong opinion is something like: ground pepper or cracked pepper? I recognize a difference, and I'd opt for cracked, but I really don't have an opinion.

    Everyone wants nugget numbers posted on every menu.

    Fair enough.

    Here's the question:

    If you post chicken nuggets are 3 piece or 4 piece who is more likely to order?

    The person who wants 2 pieces is going to get a good deal.

    The person who wants 6 pieces is going to need to order two.

    So your customer base isn't the purchasing pool because you won't convince the 6 piece person to come in.

    It's the people who only want 2 nuggets that are willing to order.

    That's the difference.

    The main difference with US protests is duration & disruption.

    We're not hearing about one protest in France. We're hearing about prolonged action.

    But that hits your same point. No one has the means to not be earning money to take the time to meaningfully protest.

    That's the design. That's the trap.

    Its the same reason why the elite is so scared about declining birth rates. Its not about declining productivity in 20 years. These fucks aren't even concerned about making the planet literally uninhabitable in 20 years. What they're concerned about is an active population with nothing to lose.

    Do you not understand that proportional representation distributes power so that no one party has total control?

    Its why its such a good campaign promise (from Trudeau) and why the Liberals refuse to deliver it

    You're right, it's about maximum worth.

    J. Paul Getty was the richest person in the 50s and he was worth about a billion dollars. Adjusted for inflation, thats about $14 billion now.

    Elon Musk is 70x richer than that.

    It isn't about how little the poor have, its about how much the rich hoard. And it always has been.
