I'm in favor of the perfect balance, be the most capitalistic possible to favor the economy, and strongest government possible to make sure none fucks over others while doing capitalism. A.k.a. heavily regulated capitalism, governed with strong moral standard, chosen democratically by the few % who are truly CHOSEN, as in the glorious ROMAN REPUBLIC. If you use Facebook, watch porn, TV, no (or humanities) degree, no child, pump and dump, etc, then no voting right for you. Because there is always a LOW-FUNCTIONING MAJORITY that undermines the system by being able to vote.

I don't think that you understand just how much Bezos is worth, nor do I think you understand how little he pays in taxes (it's none, by the way). I'm not saying, also, that The Rich should pay for EVERYONE in the world, literally all I'm asking is that they fairly contribute to the general welfare of society for once. Honestly the only "elite" people I've actually seen doing good are the Gates family, and even they do everything they can to weasel out of paying taxes

Sounds like socialism, minus that dystopian bit where you want to regulate who votes

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

@
Veho:
But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Veho:
Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
