That's nice. But I feel this is just absurd. "We killed lots of people and took these people as hostages for years, but we're really nice about it". I mean, I don't approve of mistreating prisoners, but taking them, and the way it was done in the first place kinda outweighs letting them have a holiday 🙄 And if you're about to start "but Israel..." save your time, I think they're monstrous fascists.

Or maybe it's state capitalism. Like Norway does. But the GOP can't tell the difference between socialism and a stick up their ass, even while they love to hate the former and hate to love the latter.
It'll be especially dangerous since they're gonna have slashed tires so often.
Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.

I would just fucking love it if there was discovered a correlation between autism and microplastics, or between autism and stress during pregnancy, or between autism and some food coloring or whatever. Just to see RFK shut the fuck up cause he would never challenge the owners of the country.
Ancient Rome had privatized fire department. Caesar's friend Crassus got the job and used it to extort people to sell their homes in a neighborhood when a fire broke out. As a result he became one of the richest people in history. He was also killed by the Persians who poured liquid gold (or silver, depending on source) on his decapitated head and sent it back to Rome.

Occasionally I fire up Civilization. The first one. I've also enjoyed Imperialism 2. Star Wars Rebellion, X-com (the original). Jagged Alliance 2.
All of those are from the 90s.
