  • It seems like something that should be remedied. The biggest problem for biographies is notability, but the potential incoming links take care of that nicely.

    Of course, it would still need to be sourced and written, but I’m sure a competent writer can throw something basic together to get started with.

    A license compatible photo would really be the cherry on top, but those are notoriously difficult to obtain.








  • Honestly, I consider myself a social democrat, and that’s a fair criticism of social democratic politics.

    You can mitigate the worst excesses of capitalism, but only at the price of constant vigilance. And if you do a good job, people don’t think you are doing much of anything, and hound you about the “government inefficiency”, the “oppressive regulatory pressure” and the “poor business climate”. You are basically running PR for capitalism.








  • This is all true. It’s also in addition to the horrific misogyny of the medical establishment. Not only is autism underdiagnosed in women, almost all conditions are understand in women. Including acute heart attacks.

    This is partly for sort of valid reasons (they routinely exclude women from clinical trials because of unknown pregnancies putting the baby at risk), partly for stupid but understandable reasons (women are harder to study because of cycle effects, managing trials need to run longer and collect more data, which costs more) and partly because of rank misogyny.

    If I were a woman, I’d be terrified of dealing with health care professionals of any kind.






  • You count the votes in public in front of representatives of all parties?

    We’ve been doing this shit for literal millennia, sometimes side by side with people you were fighting just a few weeks before. It’s not fucking rocket science. My country will happily send observers and instructors if you need help figuring this democracy shit out. So will pretty much any other country in the UN.

    You guys need to get this shit sorted, pronto.
