State governments should switch to a parliamentary system because it's superior

Where they work and where they are a citizen seldom coincide

 

The president always AFAIK lives (resides) in the white house in DC and works at the white house, and a governor predominately lives (resides) in the governor's mansion and does some/much/most/all of his work at the capitol.

 

Fake News. Germany has made some very bad decisions. They bought a load of Green Crap and it's costing them Bigly.

German Green Energy fantasies are bleeding cash and failing fast



German energy news gets worse and worse. Wise planning counts on surprises and has a margin for setbacks. These Green Cultists that unfortunately make policy for the wonderful German people 'lurch from miserable New Age renewable schemes to desperately throwing cash at the flaming remnants trying to mitigate the fallout. In the meantime, for all the promises of greener pastures, the wind doesn’t blow, winter is cold, the Russians start a war – the Germans can’t manipulate a thing to fall their way.'

Wind was supposed to save them, but, 'last year and this past summer, the wind refused to blow. The dreaded cold “dunkelflaute” or “anti-cyclonic gloom” (they’re both great terms).'

'This winter’s forecasts are looking somewhat grimmer than the norm. The dunkelflaute will dunk on your grid.'

The government reports:

'We’re suffering curse of Dunkelflaute’.

• Electric demand 43.77GW unsurprisingly.
• Wind 1.11GW, 2.54%.
• Nuclear at full tilt (most turning off in next couple of years) 5.77GW, 13.18%.
• Solar (lots of panels covered in snow) 0.21GW, 0.48%.
• #renewableenergy failing today.

You think?

'It’s snowing in Germany and 28° near Ramstein. The last thing anyone needs, from people wondering how they’re going to afford to heat their home, is the government wondering how they’re going to keep the lights on.'

I like our system better.

 

Yeah...No.

I've seen how it works in European countries. No thank you. Seems too easy for them to override peoples Rights with such a system.

 

Harder because theres never majority governments.

 

And yet, by the US's standards, they do not have Free Speech.

 

What do you consider free speech?

Being allowed to make violent threats and stoke hate against minorities?

Being able to be fired for posting on social a different political or social opinion as your boss?

Being allowed to "donate" to politicians and influence their policies?

Having the government force rail road workers into work?

Europe has free speech, the difference is they differentiate free speech from hate speech/incitement and bribery. Also you have rights when you work unlike in the US where free speech basically only exists when talking directly against politicians.

 

Incitement/bribery is not protected by the 1st Amendment. So called "hate speech" however, is.

I don't agree with firing someone for having a different political/social opinion...however no one has a right to a job. Anyone that does fire someone for such things, I will simply go to another store.

I haven't looked into the rail road thing. So no opinion on it.

And no, they don't have free speech. Otherwise things like this wouldn't happen...

There is no hate speech. Only speech you hate.

 

The Dog stuff was stupid I agree that's also Brexit UK lol.

The Norway is BS https://www.reddit.com/r/Norway/comments/zm8azj/norwegian_filmmaker_faces_3_years_in_prison_for/

Quality of life and life expectancy is much better in Europe than in America. For some reason being able to say incendiary stuff is what conservatives feel is better than anything Europeans have.

Governments actually represent the people when you have proportional representation because there can be no enemy since each party has a minority of the votes.

A governments job is about more than just representing people. Its also about protecting their Rights.

 

You realize that Justice Thomas wants to remove all "Due process rights" basically everything post 1960 other the gun rights and religious rights.
