I've seen a few polyamorous groupings that seemed to work remarkably well with no drama or abuse that I could observe. Institutionalized polygamy is an entirely different beast.

In my anecdotal experience these have always involved multiple women but only one man.

if I'm being honest with myself trying to get on board with accepting polygamy is probably where my tolerant left self ends. rip young me, died to old conservative me

It's not what it looks like.
Seems to me if polygamy is an institutionalized cultural practise, the women would be conditioned from an early age not to seek help or leave due to abuse.

Legally recognizing it won't change that

Sounds like my old "Young tories" classmate who likes to self-define as "not that kind of french canadian" because he knows the lyrics to God save the queen, read everything by Hayek in High School and liked aggressively boring poo poo like the stock market.

On paper, polygamy seems like yeah sure whatever, do your thing, but in practice, we see that more often than not it results in dudes building harem cults with brainwashing and child rape. So yeah, lets not allow that.

This doesn't really infringe on the freedom of weirdo polyamorous blob people, they are still free to live together all they want, they just can't "marry" a bunch of brainwashed girls the moment they turn hit the age of consent and use that as legal cover for their :barf:

Common law couples get protections just fine without requiring sanction from a church or city hall. Also lol if you think marriage is that much of a legal protection against this scenario.

At least for grain and oilseed a lot of that net worth is tied up in land and equipment that won't be worth half what was paid in on resale.

Which is great if you want to get the gently caress out of farming, not so much if you want to keep farming :v:

You're saying that those numbers aren't including depreciation? Most such calculations use depreciated asset values AIUI.

We'd have to massively reform the immigration system too, and adoption, and tax. Most people I know who are married did it mostly for some sort of important legal reason, not out of some sense of tradition or religion.

No, I think those numbers include it, but I wanted to stress those assets aren't liquid.

At least in the case of our farm, that money is tied up in multiple families, too. I was going to criticize the twitter post for making the assumption of singular ownership when reporting the graph because there is a clear distinction between a farm and farmer but I'm not sure if that is factored into the data or not, so v:v:v

And in response, perhaps it's time Pride stopped accepting money from the city. Of course this leaves them even more reliant on sponsorship, which has its own problems.

Why does pride even need to be a huge big expensive event? Why can't it just be what ever size it can naturally be while self-funding and focusing on the event being both a celebration of and agitation for gay rights?
The last pride's I've been to have been a bunch of corporate floats/vehicles rolling by while handing out coupons and promoting their business, a tiny minority of floats actually having much to do with the gay community or pushing any boundaries or agitating for any sort of political change, then a big outdoor festival with entertainment stages, beer gardens, and vendor booths. If no one told me it was pride I'd think it was just some generic local business and corporate funded summer fun party.

it's a fun and very popular event, but it's almost a victim of it's own popularity and universal mainstream appeal.
