  • When I became a Canadian citizen, around a decade ago, I pledged fealty to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada.

    So, Canada (and probably Australia too) is a kingdom different from the United Kingdom, that happens to have the same monarch. Different crowns, same person under it. Given that the British monarch only retains a ceremonial role in every country that they "rules", having the same one doesn't make a lot of differences from having our separate one.

  • Yeah, we can also make it fun. Once someone has amassed a certain quantity of wealth, make a big ceremony, where the guy is given a trophy that says "I won capitalism". After that, every dollar he makes past the limit is taxed 100%

  • In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.

  • Yeah, but fort that you had to finish the game. That was HARD as hell back in the days. I believe neither I nor anyone in my elementary school knew Samus was a girl because nobody managed to finish the game.

  • Most people will think traffic behave like water that you need to send through a network of pipes. It is not, traffic is made of humans and humans reactions will make traffic behave wildly differently than waters in pipes.

    • Some people and businesses will move next to the new highway for its supposed ease of access, creating traffic
    • some people might change their habits and go shopping to this place instead of that place, or getting a job far away from their home (or a home far away from home)

    The exact reasons for the increase in traffic is complex and my example could be totally off. But we don't need to know the exact reason for the increase in traffic, we know it happens because it has been observed on every road enlargement projects in the last decades.
