I think that this decision is taken by the mother, and no one else.

The ideology and the resulting power structures are not the same thing

So “liberal” now means “the US political system”?

The Italians cannot block something that the Germans and the French want.

Same here (Switzerland), via a compulsory (for the employer) insurance.

Well, yes, but you don’t have to have an ePA

You can thank the European car industry for this. They’ve lobbied for this to become law.

Depends on the model I guess. In Renaults the car just complains.

The law mandates that data processing must happen locally.

That said, fuck these new systems.

Are you using “liberal” in the US sense here or in the correct sense?

Because the human mind is preconditioned to prefer simple solutions that confirm pre-existing beliefs and biases, especially if they feel good.

What does sekhual rslytsre mean?

Why does the title have to be over the top?

What this is actually about is a government agency publishing a report in which they recommend better protection for mentally ill people to be deported by air. The original title is “Compulsory repatriation by air: NKVF demands better protection for people with mental illnesses”

Exactly right.

Social services is not an investment. It’s a public service. We do it because we have humanity and dignity, not because of money.

German voters: well, voting for the right hasn’t worked - they haven’t done anything for the common people. We should try voting for nazis next.

Left/Green: hi there I have many things I want to improve for the common people!

German voters: go fuck yourself.

It is days taken, always. There is no illness days limit per year as is common in the USA. In Europe, if you’re ill, you’re ill, for as many days as you are ill.

Right so the problem here is that you suffer from this left-wing thinking that there should be consistency in words, actions, rules.

While conservatism is about having an in-group who the rules protect but does not bind, and an out-group who the rules bind but do not protect. There not being equality and consistency is the point.

Same in Germany, the doctor does not say why, just that there is an inability to work due to illness. On top of that it is illegal for the employer to even ask.

They could’ve had a slow, dignified decline of their power and status over 50 years or so. Instead they chose to tear it down themselves, in not just stupid but embarrassing ways.
