Dakha posted:Rather than closing down the underground and annoying most of London, I don't understand why striking staff don't just open the barriers and let people ride for free. It's still something that TFL would want to stop, but keeps the public onside at the same time. You might be interested in the concept of the "virtual strike", though it seems wikipedia doesn't have an article about it. It would require changes to legislation concerning industrial action, but effectively it means workers don't get paid and the employers don't get paid either (no profit/revenue), but everything works as normal so the public aren't inconvenienced. I'm guessing it would only apply to public services though - can't really see how a virtual strike would apply to, say, a private factory or a supermarket.

OwlFancier posted:Everyone must live in holes in the ground, but only if they're naturally occurring or if you dug them with your own bare hands. Why should a hole in the ground belong to a person simply because that person found it first? He expended no effort to find it, he was merely born in the right place at the right time. All the world's holes are the birthright of all the world's people, and they should be distributed equitably and fairly.

For those of you arguing "we need more kids to pay our retirees' pensions", what exactly do you imagine is the endgame in that scenario? Those kids are going to need pensions too at some point, and it takes more than one kid to pay one pension. I'm not seeing any sustainability in that system; either retirees are going to have to see a reduced quality of life (inc. retiring later), or we will have to hope for a technological miracle, or we make plans for infinite people

Pistol_Pete posted:You're right. The only logical conclusion is that we stop having children altogether. I'm not sure that's the answer either! LemonDrizzle posted:We gradually transition to a fully funded pension system where each generation sets aside enough wealth over their working life to pay for their own retirement rather than our current pay-as-you-go system where the current working generation pays for the previous generation's retirement. This I can get behind, is there anywhere I can read about this in more detail?

The family unit is an outdated institution and not up to the needs of a modern economy. I say all kids should be rehomed to state-owned facilities where they will be brought up under the loving care of the Department of Parenting

Prince John posted:There is a pretty huge upside. It's the opportunity for a politician to 'speak' directly to thousands of people, without them having to visit your constituency surgery or hearing you through a newspaper or tv editorial filter. How many people follow an MP that they don't already like and vote for? I'd assume most MPs are just tweeting to the choir.

I think she's more cringing at his use of the turn of phrase than as a candidate. Ahhh yes I've seen this before. They're not disabled, they're "differently abled". Instead of being unable to walk, they're able to pop wheelies.
