This logic doesn't even work for tvs. Even if I return a bad tv to get a better one, I'm still gonna leave a bad review on the amazon page.

And the death by starvation rate?

I get the point you're going for, but "pasture land" is literally just public grasslands, and they're pretty much the only truly public places left in the states.

I mean we don't have a /c/ for that yet, so might as well be here.

Oh shit. Yeah I kinda forgot Whatsapp is an international standard of communication. That's still different than requiring you to run it in on your personal devices through.

Any job that forces you to use Meta services is probably exploiting you in other ways and isn't worth whatever they're paying you. Even employees of Facebook don't have to do this.

So I agree with 90% of this, and I don't understand why you're getting downvoted. That being said, the one thing I can't get behind is worse punishments for violent crime. I'm not saying violent crime is good, but basically all of the evidence suggest that worse punishments do nothing to curtail it, and in fact make it more likely. The longer someone spends in prison, the less likely they are to reintegrate into society. If the goal is to reduce violent crime, rehabilitation is far more effective than deterrence.

From the data, it looks like average lengths have gone down since about 2004, so this year may just be an anomaly.

There ya go! I knew there had to be a couple out there!

I feel like it's more about distribution of responsibility. If you have a king, he's either a good king and runs things well, or a bad king and runs things poorly. A King's success is generally measured by the quality of his kingdom, which is at least somewhat tied to the wellbeing of subjects.

In a corporation, even if you have a comparitively "good" CEO, he's still answerable to the shareholders, and thus obligated to raise the stock value by any means necessary, a factor which is not necessarily dependent on the wellbeing of his employees.
