Kleptocracy hates rules, except Omerta.

Yes they will!

Air quality seems to be becoming more extreme around the world!

It is certainly one way to compare. But in terms of global change, absolute numbers must be considered. No matter hours many people there are, we all breathe the same air. With more people in the area, there’s more pollutants in the air, whether it’s per capita or not. So while it may be logical to compare per capita, it’s not really the practical reality.

I understand percentages. But in your example of addicts, it’s the number of people that counts in my book, not whether or percentage is lower. I also understand that more people, pollute more, absolutely. So to think that our small population needs to make a significant effort to reduce pollution , which is absolute, is a guilt reaction.

This how you win the Hearts and Minds war.

There may be a lot of garbage on Reddit, but the subreddits I read are non political, and tech mouthpieces like MacRumors and zdnet are easily scrolled past. I usually get the best info about obscure issue, old and new, on Reddit. So i hope that there will remain somewhere, a searchable archive to supplement whatever platform us nerds will go to next.

Downvote for paywall.

Or just sarcasm.

Canada is home to millions of conflict refugees (i.e. veterans) from SE Asia, northern Africa, and the Middle East. I don’t know what would happen, but I hope this would be a significant factor in any insurgency.
