It would depend on who did the enforcing. Politics as always, would enter the actions.

in what way? I am no expert, and it's always possible I am wrong. But in this case, I don't think so.

I don't really care tbh. I am old enough to not worry about what other people think of me. My family, my dogs, and my friends matter, other than that? Nope

Probably not, but that's an extreme, and these days, you can't even avoid conflict by using the obvious gender honorific because some twits 'identifie' as something they simply are not.

'san' implies an inferior to superior relationship in some way.
'sama' is more equal but the context is vital. Could be romantic, professional, friend, familial, or multiple. Using Japanese language as some sort of example of simple and neutral speech is a deeply flawed premise.

In my experience, that's because in general, women are more touchy about being addressed 'properly'

what about all the other organisms? don't they count? What about the rest of the world, it's not like one temperature is 'best' for everything. Organisms evolve to fit their environment, including coral. Some die out, and new ones evolve. Entropy claims us all in timr, individual, and species alike.

4o//The 400 year 'record' is a record of proxies, like tree rings, or calcification of coral structures. They go back a lot farther than 400 years, and we know from them that the earth was much warmer in the past.
Simple question, if now is 'too hot' What *IS* the 'right' temperature, and why?

Anytime 2 people agree on a trade, that's a free market exchange. Fortunately, authoritarians such as yourself have no success banning it.

As for your bald assertion that "no free market..." it's BS. Free markets have existed across all cultures and all times. When flint was traded from 1England, as far away as the Middle east, it was through a long network of trade that covered the western world.

Thackery was a liberal, which in the UK politics of the tine was slightly less socialist than the modern labour party.
He was a typical limousine liberal, came from wealth, squandered it, grew bitter, and despised his 'peers'

Capitalism is a term invented by the bolsheviks to tar their bete noire, It's merely another form of authoritarianism like communism.
The free market is a completely different thing.
The free market creates wealth, authoritarian systems merely consume it.

Right. We live in a country where the primary food related issue is obesity. You want to see starvation? Visit any country with govt control of food production and distribution. Venezuela for example. A garden of Eden with many going hungry.
