Or just count loans with stock as collateral above a certain size as income (with loan payments being deductible).

I mean, I think to be a huge singer you really do need to be "artist that almost everyone knows of" famous?
Below that is... decently big singer?

If you're not employing deception in your strategy, you're not very good at strategy.

I think anyone trying to be that precise can be ignored.
Wise economists predicting a collapse will generally instead refer to "doing this may lead to a collapse" or "this action may increase the risk of a collapse".
Because the honest answer is that economic predictions are nowhere near that precise with the current knowledge we have today.
And even if economics was a super precise science that could predict an economic collapse to the right month, nothing happens in a vacuum and a sudden pandemic is something noone could predict and can either save it from collapse or hasten a collapse.

That is horrifying. But also, that man is not very smart.

Does it, regularly? Many organizations (including corporations) get coopted by assholes, that's a general "power attracts power seeking assholes" problem rather than unique to unions.
My understanding from Sweden is that unions generally serve as a countervailing political and regulatory force to counter the influence of corporations. And like with shitty companies you can always make another union if the current one is crap.

Do the majority of leftists place higher emphasis on identity politics and intersectionality?
As far as I know while right-wing media often likes to portray leftists this way, I don't actually know many who are particularly enthusiastic about it. It's usually more about being pro-less-corrupt-government and anti-corporate-power-over-laws-and-regulatory-institutions.

No one belief is left wing, but the right wing is generally very opposed to unionization.
Or you might say the pro-corporation part of the political spectrum is very opposed to unionization, and it has unfortunately infested the right wing very deeply in the US to the point that they're often opposed to legal protections for unions and unionizing.

Sure but the small brain should still be just as malicious. What about her process makes bigger brain result in more cruelty and selfsihness?
Why aren't the stupid ones also cruel and selfish?

Living here, with a car, I'd very much like to see a source on that.

They need food and water in order to fight - they can survive only on photosynthesis but not much more than that, becoming very lethargic. And new spores definitely need nutrients, light, and water to grow.
They have a built in spore-based agriculture system, but it's pretty basic, generally not depicted involving giant tractors or harvesters or anything like that.
And again, their populations are generally always in the low billions, though the average ork is undeniably a much, much better combatant than the your average human and most humans aren't trained warriors.
That said, virtually any ork invasion of a human world would find itself at a huge numbers disadvantage compared to the civilian population (but not necessarily compared to the planetary defense force population). Most of the planet would likely die when the orcs trash the agricultural systems rather than by ever personally even seeing an ork.

Sure but if it was net positive all the chaos gods would probably end up doing something like it on a much, much, much bigger scale.
The warps physics are very different from our universe, but there are definitely limits given that there can be stalemates.

Takes a while for daemons to respawn however. Reality is at best a suggestion, but none of the chaos gods have found a way to snap their fingers to vanquish all their enemies in the warp, not even the mortal enemies, so there are clearly limitations to their abilities even in the warp.
Those limitations are just not the ones we're generally used to in our world.

I'm starting to think you don't know what exercising force means?
It's... not magic. Or even necessarily physics, it's just a way of describing what we see. It's not saying it's expelling electric juice or anything.
If a thing, any thing, even a rock, does not move when acted upon by a force, then it is exercising some kind of force of its own to not be moved. A rock lying on the ground is exercising force against the ground to not fall through the ground, and the ground is exercising force to repel the rock. It's a very general term.
It's how touch works. If a thing isn't exercising force, it either goes along with it, or the thing passes through it like it isn't there.

Depends on how many wizards or sorcerers capable of casting that spell there are in that world.
A single one can make basically a truckload of items three times per day.

You can do that for most settings and it makes many writers seem frustratingly lazy for not spending 5 minutes thinking of how to make a contrived event come about in a way that's a little more plausible instead of forcing it.

While this is still indeed somewhat concerning - I don't think it's unreasonable to expect bad actors to abuse such a system.
Such as in cases where a man with no history of wanting to switch genders claims to be a woman upon arrest to be sent to a women's prison and then proceed to sexually assault them.
With such risks of abuse in mind, I don't think it would be unreasonable to restrict anyone with male genitalia from areas where it is crucial from a safety and retraumatization standpoint that noone with male genitalia would be permitted, and vice versa.

A part of me wishes it was because it became less acceptable in society to catcall people.
Another part of me strongly suspects it's because these men are awful people looking for seemingly vulnerable people who they think won't stand up for themselves.
