@rasmansa Our problem is that we have enterprise bargaining instead of sectoral bargaining. This means any shop that unionizes gets put at an immediate competitive disadvantage relative to other shops. Sectoral bargaining is the fix we need.

I always think it would be cool to live in an apartment building that was all families with kids <18.
Even if you werenβt friends with the other residents ex ante youβd get to know them, could have shared facilities (rooftop playground), an ample supply of teen babysittersβ¦

Russia invading Ukraine and Georgia and sending troops to Belarus and Kazakhstan is just the inevitable confirmation of the resolution of the Cold War -- that Europe gets to expand to include the old Warsaw Pact, but (mostly) not the old Soviet Union.

And yes this sucks. Russian foreign policy is awful!! (Astronaut meme goes here.)
Great-power spheres of influence are bad things in general, and are *especially* bad things for the countries caught on the wrong side, as Ukraine is.

But the world of geopolitics is an inherently ungoverned, anarchic space. There will never be real rules unless we have a one-world government. Barring that, great powers will always divide the world between them. This isn't what *should* happen, but it is what *will* happen.

tbh the health hazards from having nuclear waste next door are much smaller than having something banal like a parking lot
