At least they can take pride in their cricket team.


You’re underestimating how stupid the Trump administration is. Trump would be happy to launch an attack on Cuba in order to draw attention away from Iran. Anything to keep people from talking about the Epstein files.


Interesting read. Title is click-baity.


The “archy” is definitely related to the idea of a top-level leadership/executive group that is set apart from the rest. Anarchy removes that executive privilege and parasitism.
For any society to function, there must be rules. Anarchy, in most forms, the community is the legislature and judiciary.


You mean the same governments that manipulate their currency’s value?
Or in the case of the USA, a government that is spending so much that they’re basically insolvent?


Probably. I imagine you could probably get one at a gun show in Texas


Oh yeah. I keep forgetting about that. I suppose I need to study it a little more to make it stick.


Good ole brute force is the best method, though, as you said, targeting is a huge problem. Basically you need a low Earth orbit shotgun.

Schools are run by cities, counties, with oversight and regulations divided between every level, all the way to Federal.
There are minimum standards set for nutrition but many kinds of schools are exempt from providing meals or meeting the minimum.
Some schools go above and beyond, providing nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and snacks that the students can take home. Others, on the other hand, see it as a hassle and do the bare minimum.
Many US schools are misfunded, with many layers of unneeded bureaucracy and testing added, pulling resources away from the classroom and cafeteria.


Nah. We still have indoor plumbing.

It’s owned by the Mormon church. It has a history of expelling female victims of SA and racism. Freshmen are required to read a talk by one of their church’s apostles that basically says they may have to resort to violence to keep “woke” away.
The church itself is misogynistic, homo- & transphobic, and racist (not officially anymore but it’s so integrated into the culture that it’s never going to go away).

Same for Sanderson. It seems like he tries to subvert expectations at the end of every book 2 but he only ends destroying everything he’s established.
I completely stopped reading his stuff when I found out that he is a Mormon and graduated from BYU.
I know she was raised in a bubble but I didn’t realize that it was a literal one and oxygen-deprived, as well.
