Peace in a world with imperialist powers can only be maintained by force of arms.

They're not in use most of the time when everyone has one, so we're overproducing washing machines just so people can have them privately in their homes.

Yet as finance and business became more complex, the link from wealth to ownership of the means of production to managerial authority eroded.

Lol. Lmao even

For fucks sake, it's not like his voters are feudal vassals he can pass on to his liege.

If you can be convinced about magic rocks and meditation super-powers, you can probably be easily convinced about all sorts of stupid shit.

The Matriarchal pagan stuff is a Victorian romantic invention. We know extremely little about the societies of the Celts and related peoples, with the vast majority of what we do know coming from two accounts, both Roman, which are very obviously reductive takes of similar academic rigour to Victorian anthropologists talking about the Australian aboriginals.

While of course, much of what people are attached to in their fixations on the Romans and Greeks is also Victorian fiction, we at least have a wealth of first hand written sources and corroborating archeological evidence. For the Celtic peoples across Europe and particularly in Britain, we have essentially nothing. No idea of what their religion looked like, what their laws and traditions were or how they organised their society.

Landlords in the UK have a legal requirement to ensure that their property is safe for the occupants. In practice this means following a number of regulations set by the local authorities HHSRS (Housing health and safety rating system).

Most of these include a regulation on maximum window opening height to prevent people accidentally falling out of them, either purely by accident, or when in a "confused mental state" (this is mainly elderly people with dementia or something similar, and drunks).
