Change. Change is ruffling people’s feathers. They want what they are used to, and the new thing is unequivocally evil.

Then you are extremely lucky, as am I. I have enough money saved up that I took a break.

However, something like 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and just don’t have that option. The threat of poverty is constantly chasing them. When you’re in that situation, you will take the best option available even if it’s garbage or next to garbage.

The main argument is that we are in a system of people who are way more powerful than us, and have largely taken away our options until we agree. We’re facing widespread protests and international strikes right now because we don’t like the options they’ve given us, and we’re trying to change the system.

Just because somebody takes away your options until you agree, doesn’t mean they aren’t forcing you. Just because you happen to be satisfied with what you have, doesn’t mean that something better is not being denied from you, even though it is possible for you to have it.

Categorically false.

Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome

So… Without a government, there just wouldn’t be armies? Rich and powerful private citizens wouldn’t form their own armed forces?

The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I’d say I don’t need it.

It may complicate your life though. You’d have no explanation of who you are or why you’re there.

I haven’t a lot useful to say among the comments that are already here but I will say most broadly:

Democracy in the work place. Corporations and industries are too big and affect too many people to be governed by individuals that are just there to own it, and make a profit for themselves. Things need to be run for the common good by actually representing all stakeholders fairly.

You won’t hear from the ones that don’t.

Well, that is a pretty ridiculous interpretation.

Workplace democracy would most likely and most broadly refer to all employees of a company having a say in how the company is run. Either by voting on policies and changes, or by electing people to various executive/representative roles, much the same way that current Western democracies work.

An example of the janitor voting on where the surgeon makes a cut makes about as much sense as us voting on where the president flies in his helicopter. At best, it doesn’t pass the make sense test, and at worst is a bad faith interpretation of what people mean when they say “workplace democracy”

A lot of those tests have already been done and were used almost exclusively to enforce segregation.

What will benefit the children born in 200 years?
