  1. I'm a firm believer in secretaries being part of the organization they are running or related. IE the nasa administrator should be a former employee of nasa, education secretary should be a former teacher, labour secretary should be a former union rep, etc. Unfortunately, we usually get political donors in the spoils system that still exist at the top levels.

  2. 6:45 In his defence, Ms doubtfire included a wax-rubber full head mask. Robin Williams was so hairy that he'd have to shave 5x a day or electrolysis. 😋

  3. Us has seat at security council so vetoed. However, Russia and China could bully the other countries to impose the way we do (ie ultimatum of cancelling trade deals, etc if they continue trading with the US).

  5. If he thinks he has little to no chance to win the election, I have no doubt he'll double down and deploy troops home. "You said to bring the troops home. Jokes on you, I did." And its not as easy as Hollywood makes it to disobey a direct order. You will be found guilty. Just depends on if 1 year or 10 years imprisonment. D--ned if you do, d--ned if you dont. Sure, we quote n-zis using the excuse, "just followibg orders", but keep in mind that it took an international tribunal filled with the allies to rule (imagine being tried by the family of the person you killed).

  7. 8:20 They were probably secret service. It has more employees than you think. Due to their covert nature, they usually do not wear name tags

  9. Have you been to Germany? Codetermination. American-style capitalism is not the only kind. Why have only peas or carrots when you can have both? Absolutism of either capitaliam or socialism is not the answer. Compromise and negotiations - a mix. Also, many democracies have publicly funded elections so no need for candidates to be beholden to large donors. In america, vast majority of lawmakers are lawyers. Theyre the only ones with the money and influence to get elected. In many europeam countries, there are plumbers, teachers, librarians, local butchers, street performers, etc. You know, society, different points of view. Also, MMP with 5 different parties in Bundestag (parliament).

  10.  Emmett Hardie  iirc, both were direct in the legislative. The executive (consuls, tribunes, etc) were representative (just like in athens). The main difference was the Roman senate, comprised of aristocratic families. They'd be tasked with commanders of armies, then magistrate, then governor or consul. Then senator.
