In my language, democracy in the dictionaries is defined as:quote:politična ureditev z vladavino večine, ki varuje osebne in politične pravice vseh državljanov In my opinion, this is the only correct definition, anything else is a tyranny of the majority, not a democracy.

anatoliy pltkrvkay posted:What hasn't changed is Russians' abhorrence to making change for any bill larger than a 100RUB. More places take credit cards but I feel weird making credit card purchases for what amounts to $4. But why? I used my credit card to pay 1 eurodollar cent the other day, I don't carry cash at all anymore, it's just more annoying to work with.

Discendo Vox posted:I'm interested. The railroad linking the port town to the railway network is literally a hastily put down single track though, made in the mid 60s for the needs of the port (and sponsored in big part by the local population). Last couple years, utilization has climbed to something like 90%, it's obvious we need more better yesterday. So, some 10 years ago, the then ruling SDS picked a route and plan for the new railway to the port town. Lots of tunnels, some big bridges, high tech rail for fast trains, the works. Except now, those same people are trying to sabotage it now, because supposedly the route (that they picked) is far too expensive and bad by calling for a referendumb about it to delay it further. There's also a nice deadline for getting some EU cash for the railway right about now, which would make it much more affordable for us, and the construction permits are going to start expiring soon-ish if the construction doesn't start and then it's likely back to nimby hell for another 10 years. The thing is, the whole project would cost only about 1b euros, and cost us some 300mil in EU funds less, which is pocket change over the 10 year period this has been dragging on now. Supposedly, this is ripping the taxpayers off, and we should totally delay/cancel the railway the region (arguably even the country) can't afford to not have to develop further, so we can save the poor taxpayers some change. Because the wrong people are in power at the moment and if I can't have construction sector kickbacks, nobody can dammit  e: Oh yeah, the highways are filled with increasing amounts of cargo trucks too, and it's going to get far far worse in the next 5 or so years.

it's ridiculously stupid and specific and owns af. there was a hullabaloo about it a few years ago, and the ~family values~ people were downright enraged over it and I can't believe it's still a thing. Young Freud posted:Also, You have no loving idea, the nutcases around here are 200% certain ~are country~ was stolen from us by the communist conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. When the communist regime collapsed, they expected to suddenly get voted into office and be in control because finally! we live in a free country. When this simply doesn't want to come to pass, election after election, instead of figuring out "hey, maybe nobody likes us because we're shitheads stuck in the 16th century", they decided that no, it's still the communists preventing them from achieving their true potential. Communists, obviously, also control all the media. Never mind the loving Roman Catholic Church owning some of the bigger stations for a brief time until they quietly bailed as they were quickly falling into insolvency.  We did have a centre-right coalition once, and it turned out real well. They spent more money in the glorious booming economy of 2004-7 than even that economy could possibly support, figuring (as everyone did then I guess) they can just pay off any debt easily at current rates of incline, but when the reality of 2007-8 finally came crashing down on them, they froze in panic and did basically nothing until the election except blame everything on everyone else and hope it'd all go away. At least we got a couple nice high profile rich people in jail over that fiasco, so at least there's that. oh and, if anything, denationalization went too far. half the country's forests are now owned by the church or other shady moguls that are in bed with them and the wood is being cut and shipped off to austria and then gently caress knows where for probably massive profits the country will never see a tax penny of because for some arcane loving reason religious organizations aren't taxed

anilEhilated posted:Yeah, that's a pretty silly comparison. Islamic State wishes they did as much damage as Russia. A great many people don't even have Russia on their radar. I'm in Slovenia and Russia's poo poo barely ever makes the news, much less front pages and is under represented, often to the point one would think such a country doesn't even exist, in right wing media. Which is also obviously the loudest about the middle east. Saying Putin is behind many of the far right movements around the world in public gets you branded as a conspiracy theorist, even, which is extremely ironic because these same people were scared shitless of Russia back when they were dirty commies not even 30 years ago.

cinci zoo sniper posted:Yes, but the tax submission in normal countries is fully automated or requires minimal intervention.  My taxes are automated somewhere in the government, I sometimes have to pay a few bux or get back a few depending on how my wage or situation changed during the year, usually it's around 20-30 bux either way. I get that notice once per year, usually in may, along with how to pay any extra if needed. I remember my parents spending a week or two each year doing their taxes and going through a bunch of folders stacked with bills and poo poo, and then later having quattro pro or excel sheets to fill out and print which shortened the process to about a weekend, to get a few 100 euros back from the state, and gently caress that noise. I'm glad I don't have to do that poo poo, it's a job for computers and accountants, not people.

The situation with the new antonov planes seems really dire: https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/rossiya-slams-an-148-reliability-347983/ quote:The airline has been using the aircraft since June. In the three months to September, including aircrew training flights, the company's five An-148 aircraft flew 1,725h with Rossiya. In that time, 235 problems occurred, requiring over 2,000 man-hours of repair work.
