I am not a legal expert but I read that the case of the Netherlands proves this to be at least partially wrong. Retail sale is legal. Some municipalities have legalized supply chains. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti

Your point is valid but also quite obvious. As soon as you own stock you will want them to increase in valuation. My point is a different one. Publicly traded stock companies have very specific (growth) and often bad (growth, disregarding o

I was trying to point out that not every company ownership model is a publicly traded stock company. Your point is totally valid in the context you give.

In direct response to your first point, I would argue that it is you right to not vote. That being said, as it is THE fundamental right in democracies, you should not need to jump through any hoops whatsoever to vote. Especially as evidence

Given the current discussion on political apathy in the US I think this data fits well into this pattern. Looking at the voter turnout for United States (2016) of the of voting-age population you have merely 55.70% voting. (For comparison,

Is that still true? These reported numbers for the US are very much outdated. Would love to see a source younger than a decade. All seem to come from the same sources, a 2009 and a 2012 study. The Forbes article actually mentions an alterna
