Having weapons or ammo on you as a civilian is 100% unethical and immoral.

And lose all the money? Haha, no.

Russia didn't splinter with the fall of the USSR. People who had control of the nukes retained their control. And Ukraine was forced to move theirs to Russia.

I said it many times before - no one wants this war to end except for Ukrainians. It's just a very profitable venture for the rest of the world.

3? More like 33!

Yeah, I find it funny that people don't remember DVD DRM. I guess it wasn't noticeable to Americans, but you move from Latvia to the UK and suddenly all your movies are duds. You can at least use a VPN today to circumvent this bull shit in many cases, no such luck back then.

P.S. What was even worse for people living in xUSSR countries is that part of DVDs came from Russia (region 5) and part came from Europe (zone 2, because many xUSSR countries were assigned zone 2). The same was true for DVD players. So it was always a puzzle what to buy. Fuck this shit.

I mean there was some Nazi guy caught masturbating to gay porn and his Nazi supporters now claim it's the Jew provocation. Do you really expect a different outcome here?

It doesn't matter who thinks what. There's a law and it was broken, off you go to jail.

Muricans don't understand public transport, give them some slack.

From my own experience, if you're poor, you use a regular bus. If you want to get somewhere faster, you pay more and catch a shuttle. If you want comfort, you pay even more and get a taxi. And all modes of transport are always full to the brim. The more the merrier, always.

They didn't reinvent anything, private small scale shuttle buses have existed since forever. If you don't have them in your city it doesn't mean that's a brand new thing.

You can simply apply a tourniquet to their necks.

From facts. German healthcare system is 100% privatised and it works very well due to minimal market regulations, but extensive safety regulation. The US healthcare system is bound to insane licensing processes and fees, yet close to zero safety regulations.

For example, the US only has a few medical air transport companies, because getting a license is very very expensive. Only big corps can afford it and they have a cartel like grip on the market as there's no competition. At the same time the US doesn't regulate their performance and pricing. So you end up with an artificial cartel monopoly which sets sky high prices for their services.

Similar licensing in Germany is much cheaper and any decent air company can afford it, so there's a lot of healthy competition. But they also have price caps, so services are actually affordable.

So, in short the difference is that Germany has a free market with pro-consumer regulations and the US has cartel monopoly without any pro-consumer regulations at all. And this approach goes through the whole healthcare system.

The free market always sorts itself out, especially with a small nudge from the state, that's why US corporations are lobbying hard to prevent all and any competition to themselves. And that's why corporate lobbying is called corruption elsewhere and is illegal.
