Why would the filmmakers make the re-enactment though? For social media? For clicks over the interwebs?

For context, by the late '20 programs were running for the elimination of Gypsies and disabled children inside concentration camps. Pieces of burned clothing were found on rooftops. Even Britain had a eugenics program against inferior races.

Not likely therefore made to cause outrage over children's rights, rather to depict established practices.

So it is a re-enactment but nevertheless, it is depicting real world practices prevalent at the time.

What about the use of lead in car batteries? Even if there are requirements for recycling, it is still a burden for the environment and the people that have to deal with the material is its various stages.

The one making the current reforms the article is talking about, is also a convicted sex offender and a bro on the same island.

History though, as a very distinguished philosopher once said, is the actions of men (and women) in pursuit of their ends.

Hydrogen as done by Toyota was a sales an lobbying tactic. By setting an undoable target (or a target too far in the future), they could push for more gasoline cars and less strict emission regulations in the meantime.

Now this tactic has run its course and they are considering of what to do next.

False dichotomy. Of course language is for communication like in all other animals, but where would man be without the invention of the language of mathematics? Probably not in the space and nuclear age. So the linguistic tools can push the boundaries of human cognition.

does fat32 support larger files than 4GB, common for video files shared with USB or SD cards?

In capitalism the capital has a life and a mind of its own, independently from the people who own it or serve it as professionals. It wants to grow and accumulate.

Only a mixture of capitalism with socialist policies can be beneficial to man, if you go with absolutes it brings misfortune to most people.

"But our acceptance of those property rights is subject to the important qualification that the interests of men and of society come first and that warns us both the misunderstanding and the hostility of conservatives."

That's how socialism is defined, that the interests of society come first.

Bullshit story the consultant made up to bolster his point (93% efficiency claim from a foreman wtf).

Of course finding some help moving parts around for the welders would be the first thing the foreman would think of, because thats what foremans do all the time in factories.

Maybe the welders chose to work this way (i.e. inefficiently) because continuous welding produces fatigue which risks H&S and lowers the quality of the product.

So if the story was real, the solution would be extra personnel so the welding is done continuously, by rotating people between welding, moving parts and other jobs.

"Do not do to others what you don't want be done to you" is a good starting point on which free speech should be allowed and which should not. You should not have freedom to curtail the freedoms of others.

US-centric approach. How about if China decides to fill the power vacuum that the isolationist US leaves. How about if eg. COSCO buys out the port operators around the globe. How about if they decide to protect their shipping routes with their military so that they carry on with providing goods to the globe. Globalization is still in the best interests of China, even if the US decides to abandon it.

If most students end up being paid their loans by the government its the same, minus the bureaucracy and the optics (we are not socialists, we discourage socialist behavior).

You can apply this rationale to the army, police, fire brigades, hospitals, schools, street lighting, public roads, public transport etc. and you end up in a jungle, not a civilized society.

Why are tuition fees and student loans necessary? Instead of the government backing up or paying up the student loans, can't it just pay the university directly and then the student would study for free? (after perhaps some common sense adjustments to prevent abuse). Like in, you know, Europe.

Apparently, the Turks included the recognition of the occupied (by them) North Cyprus as one of the terms for agreeing to Sweden and Finland joining NATO.

When they mutually recognize each others occupied lands as "sovereign states" the context would be pretty obvious. (Turkey to recognize the Russian backed separatists in Ukraine and Russia to recognize the Turkish backed separatists in North Cyprus).

Another point of context to you: Russia's narrative for the invasion of Ukraine is copied word by word from the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974.

Enough of the lying propaganda. North Cyprus is by the accession treaties EU territory that the Republic of Cyprus cannot effectively control due to the illegally occupying Turkish troops. Much like the Russian controlled parts of Ukraine.

Numbers speak by themselves: 2000 troops in the South, 40000 troops in the occupied North.

They also occupy with 40000 soldiers one third of Cyprus, an EU country, thus essentially European territory.

Or better older days that oscar nominated films came straight out of state propaganda offices, eg. Days of Glory, starring Gregory Peck https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036748/ that whitewashes Stalinism because we had to win the war and the Soviets were allies.

They can arrest whomever they want for reasons of their own and then they find a way for the arrests to appear legal or justified.
