Democracy was imposed though power. That power has been eroded, which puts democracy under threat.The collapse of capitalism is not a bug but a feature. What replaces capitalism, under this plan, is feudalism.

I am reminded of a story of a British burglar during WW2 who realized the house he was robbing was occupied by a German spy. He promptly reported the spy, and thereby himself, to the police. “I may be a burglar” here told them, “but I am a patriotic British burglar”. @evacide@hachyderm.io

TY. The 71% number is from here. https://www.techspot.com/news/113320-one-california-town-found-flock-license-plate-cameras.html
At a guess, the cameras are mostly reliable but only a small number of plates actually should trigger a match. So even a small number of misreads means a majority of ‘matches’ are actually misreads.

I am reminded, yet again, of that study of video gamers that found that “losers” are much more likely to harass women, while more competent players are more likely to be supportive.

Spoiler: A coding interview isn't: can you write perfect code.
Well, maybe sometimes it is.
But IME it is at least as much about things like: how do you respond to being corrected when you (inevitably) make a mistake.

Ah yes, opposing genocide by helping to elect Donald Trump, the famously anti-genocide candidate, who called on Israel to hurry up the cleansing of Palestine, and who wants to rid America of 100,000,000 'illegals'. Well done you, you must feel so proud, so pure, so much smarter than everyone who thought that Donald Trump should be opposed.

Every time the Democrats lost (because more right wingers voted than left wingers) the democrats looked at this and said, you know what, we should move our policies to where there are fewer votes. Oh wait. That’s the opposite of what happened.
