Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They're just not crazy.

Jeans are like that. Width and length. They still doesn't fit everyone easily.

The issue is that we're trying to put everyone on a linear scale, but the actual shapes of people have more dimensions. This is done because clothes are produced in advance, to be presented for sale in stores. With more people ordering online, it could be solved by on demand production/tailoring.

This would also solve the issues with excessive production, which is a massive problem for the industry. From this year it's no longer legal for the largest manufacturers in EU to destroy unsold clothes. It will result in clothes costing more, but perhaps it should. It's currently too cheap. The single use and discard fast fashion needs to go.

The great thing about representative democracy is that idiots don't actually vote for anything. They only vote for whom to represent them.

I'll admit, I'm somewhat of an ignorant idiot myself. I haven't read nor understood the entirety of all laws. That's why I choose someone else to represent me.

I think it's only fair that mentally handicapped people are also allowed to choose someone to speak their case.

The problem in US isn't the idiots. It's the two party system. In countries with multiple parties, truly idiotic votes would be scattered randomly all over different parties, or they would be placed on the party that represents idiots the best.

That doesn't work in US, because you actually only have one political party and then the opposition. It's really easy for an opposition to trick idiots into voting against everything.

It's a good starting point. The more people vote, the more people will be angry if the result is stolen.

Apathy is the worst threat against democracy. Especially when one part is cheating.

It's wild how we still learn more and more about Epstein's person.

He was obviously a sick bastard, but I don't think he was the worst of the lot.

He was probably more like the frat boy whose parents were always out, so everyone would party at his place. He was thrilled with being the host of it, so he could mingle with the powerful people. If he was truly the mastermind behind all the illegal shit, it seems unlikely that he'd also be stupid enough to write all those files and keep trophy pictures of rich people.

This never made much sense to me, until I realized that someone else is behind arranging the worst of it.

This would explain how he had both ordinary and completely wild illegal shit going on at the same time.

Trump plays a larger role in it, but I also don't think he is the mastermind behind it. He was allowed access because he took part in and knows the people doing the human trafficking.

I don't think we know who called the shots in the group yet.

Skill issue.

No. They've been doing it for years.

Being dumb is not a race.

Where I live, the heavily autistic people or other mental disorders usually move out of their parents home long before the parents die.

They get social security payments and pay rent. If they need assistance, they'll usually choose to live in condos along with other handicapped people, where services is hired as part of the rent. This can be structured in many ways. For instance as an institution owned by the municipality, as a privately owned institution, or as a self-owning institution which is becoming more popular. Regardless of the ownership, the institution or community gets paid by the government and is subject to the same laws.

Anyway, nevermind the details, the government pays for everything in the end. The point is that handicapped people are not legally incapacitated. They have the same rights as everyone else.

In severe cases, they can be financially incapacitated. Autistic people usually don't need to, but if so they will then be appointed a legal financial guardian. From experience, I can only stress that it is most beneficial to have a legal guardian that is NOT family. The reason is that handicapped people get a modest social security cheque to cover their expenses. However being disabled and all, they don't really spend a lot of money, so unfortunately family members acting as guardians find opportunities to start leeching. Disgusting, I know, but it's unfortunately what happens when they get pursuaded to let a distant cousin to run their finances..

In case you were asking about minors losing their parents, they'll be placed in foster care. Autistic or not.

I love the Streisand effect in defamation lawsuits.

I'd never have heard of that shitty company otherwise.
