It looks a lot like other Spiekermann’s font like Fira Sans or Meta Sans. Humanists fonts have been so overused by big corps that I’m not sure I want to have it in my ui.
>Democracy does not mean the majority gets whatever it wants.
Yes, it does. By definition democracy is doing whatever the majority wants to do.
>protecting the rights of the minority
Under democracy the minority opinion can be ignored. Rights only need to be protected if the majority wants. And the majority can decide what is and isn't considered a right.
If minority rights are not maintained, then the first majority to win will change the rules/system so that the minority can never become the majority. In the extreme example, the 51% votes to eliminate the 49%. For a democracy to function minority rights and checks on the majority power are fundamental requirements.
>so that the minority can never become the majority
So you are trying to say that a democracy that is unable to find a global maxima is not a functional democracy? I would disagree and say that a democracy moving towards a local maxima is still functional.
That is still not how democracy works! Non-commissioned officers don't swear an oath to upholding the constitution or the people's vote, only to the Commander in Chief. The majority of Americans (and even Congress) could vote in favor of a military invasion of Mexico, and it would be fully constitutional for the sitting president to ignore their vote.
"The majority" changes the Commander in Chief, who in turn can be held liable for violating constitutional democracy if they abuse discretionary powers (see: Richard "I am not a crook" Nixon).
Not every decision by the US government is made democratically. Sometimes a delegate is voted upon. In this case last year a new commander and chief of the US military was voted in who has this power.
They're wasted potential. Burnout isn't necessarily from overwork, it comes from pouring your heart and soul into things that you never get the satisfaction of seeing completed.
Burnout is not from failing to complete things. Most work never truly "succeeds". It comes from trying hard to do good work, and having it sabotaged, prevented, micromanaged, and even punished etc...
Being denied satisfaction is the important part but yeah, there are countless circumstances that can result in it. Having to waste all your time fighting for limited resources because a handful of individuals are hoarding them is by far the most common.
In the US the so called "free market" was intended to be a way for people to achieve financial independence in spite of any persecution. Unfortunately regulatory capture has made it exceedingly difficult.
Yep 90% power chords and the sound on Nevermind was in part due to Butch Vig. It’s simple but at the time quite unheard : bit of compression a lot of overdub, maybe a little flange/chorus but it was quite minimal compared to heavy metal, guitar heroes of the time and really different from the punk bands.
