Not even close half, us democracy is a joke that loser can win and not everyone gets to vote. 22,5% of US population voted for trump. That is still way too much, but it is still minority.

No no, I wasn't supporting this shit. There is no use for this for the people of the country.
All civilized countries have proper sealed government owned databases that tell who lives in the country. This makes everyday life for everyone easier. Things like identity theft are impossible if there is db like this, which can be used to identify people in secure manner.
Adding little bit extra context here.
In Finland large number of homes are heated by district heating. This means there is heat plant or combined heat and power (CHP) plant, which heats water to around 70C - 110C (158F - 230F) and that is distributed to homes.
In this system heat batteries are useful, and near all CHP plants in Finland have done heat battery in last few years. These heat batteries are just 7-store high insulated water storage. Usefulness to store just water is that system is relatively simple. Water in - water out. This makes it that the turbine in CHP can be run more freely towards electricity price, not the network heat demand.
Plain heat plants generally don't yet have these, because the buffer created by heat battery is not that much needed. But if these sand batteries can store heat longer, and because they might be cheaper to build, it can make sense.

"In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically and economically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the export of natural resource."
They are so dependable on fossil fuel export that they try to sway all other nations to use fossil fuels and generate crisis on it to tie other nations closer to it's only source of power in global market. Russia has less GDP than Italy. They are not super power anymore, and every nation should try to get away from their fossil fuels.
These are for genetical type I diabetes, nothing to do with obesity
