I'm the 0.1% scourge. I've been flying Ryanair for 10 years and I always told myself I'll change my (very slightly off chart) cabin bag the first time they fine me. Also it always fits and it never caused delay as far as I'm aware.

This might be a sign of things to come, the quality of the virtual world is decreasing at record speed, that's opening the door to a return to the analogical world - aka books in your case.

Yes. But I already have shelves filled with books wishing half of them were digital.. but I agree we can have both..

If you are technical enough to care you'll find the info in 1 min. If you are not technical enough you won't even know what to do with the info.

I don't think the list makes any sense. It's just part of movement where some try to blame all the evil of the world past and present on intellectual/philosophers, that would have perversed society and academics by their ideas. The root of evil being Hegel it seems and all figures that remotely connect to him. I think the reason here is Sartre was part of the communist party in France, for some time.

Yeahhhh, Sartre political takes were something. As a Pole I do have distaste for him because he was influential person behind banning a French translation of memoirs from gulags as that'd "offend Soviets".

Still, at best I see him as a naive person, not evil.

I'm not canadian, but my understanding is that this is beyond just the tariff. It is in addition of the general attitude and (lack of) diplomacy from the US government towards Canada for the past few weeks.

White House Press Secretary said the quiet part loud when she announced that Canada can stop this tariff business by agreeing to become the 51st state.

Nine Canadian provinces have larger populations than Wyoming, so add nine extra states and the US has got a deal ... that it will probably regret lol.

Which would most likely lead to blue Congress and Executive, which is why they will first play shenanigans to ensure no more elections like we have known them.

And Canada would do best to hold strong until this US presidential term is up.

You mean like today's capitalism then?

Aren’t there any sane systems in between?

Maybe something Keynesian

Thanks. That was interesting discovery. Including the New Keynesian theory. However I assume now, that rational expectations do not work and the actors can be bribed. Bribed for example for selling government owned housing to private corporation. It will squeeze the tenants for profit and will do nothing to increase housing supply. Rational actor becomes selfish actor and does everything for itself. The bottom 90% get worst possible ending.

at least in the capitalist model things improve over time for everyone

They are cooked, there is so much inertia with everything related to demography. That would need an instant culture shift in the the relation Japanese have with work, family, foreigners and just change overall. Japanese culture, without judgement, is very rigid so this just won't happen.

So that company don't have to make new products to get your money but print money forever, milk the cow to the last drop.
