Emperor’s of Rome podcast addressed this in a Q&A episode.
From memory the answer is that top level generals would almost always speak Greek and Latin, mid level commanders would speak either Greek or Latin adequately as well as the local language of the troops they were commanding.
Yep, that’ll fix the problem…
One has to wonder, did the writers of this law want:
a. to limit the profile of fascists
Or
b. punish people protesting against fascists
🤔
It’s not a bad measure but I don’t think it’s the best, I’m currently working my way through Spirit Level and so I think some measure like the Gini coefficient would be important.
I think that median income, Gini coefficient, poverty rate and something like the human development index would give a decent overall picture. I don’t think a single metric really does the job.
Sensible people have been suggesting that investing in real estate needs to be less attractive for decades. F***ing Paul Keeting tried to end negative gearing in the 80s. Millionaires didn’t like it to the degree that it might’ve swung a couple of marginal seats and it probably didn’t help that Hawke had a few investment properties himself.
When the only people with political power would lose out from sensible policy then it doesn’t happen.
Let’s all agree to stop calling our system a democracy.
In much the same way that almost no one has perfect physical health, almost no one has perfect mental health.
You don’t need to be a complete wreck to be able to benefit from paying attention to your mental wellness.
Eating well, regular exercise, mindfulness, forgiveness, good sleep practices are all worth practicing whether you feel unwell or not.
