More women as state leaders you say? So we might finally see female leaders in countries like India, Argentina, the UK, Pakistan, France, Turkey, Bangladesh, Ukraine or Germany if only the US would be the shining example to the world?!

Third parties make little sense as long as you have a first passed the post system. Change to proportional representation and you’ll get more choice automatically.

Their system automatically makes a winner of the biggest party. In any country that uses that system, it automatically leads to two main parties alternating in power. The advantage is that you don’t need “messy” and “unstable” coalitions, but can have strong leadership with a solid base instead. Except that perhaps string leadership is a dangerous thing to have in many cases, and except that if the balance tends towards 50/50, you can easily have problems getting anything done.

It is a non issue. It is also not unlikely for Trump to go completely nuclear over this, hopefully showing a few more folks what a moron he is.

And we are still increasing the rate at which we are making it worse…

That’s just paid leave. You get as many sick days…as you are, you know, sick.

Well, to be honest, there are some limits in place for long term sickness

Ooh, fascinating. Do you happen to know where I can read more about that neutron star collision? (Found an article, but no mention of a link to life)
