You're right. There's zero Jewish representation in the Arab world while Arabs make up about 20% of the Israeli population (and hold positions of power within the country).

There's clear psychological differences between those who label themselves "conservative" and those that don't. And one of the clear differences is the inherent tribalism among conservatives.

Effective protests are disruptive.

Gold was apolitical money for a long time. Can't just print gold.

Can you elaborate on the role of the military in protecting against natural disasters? It's not clear to me how this is already part of their function.

You're sort of right but painfully wrong on so many things. The US government doesn't mint its own currency, it borrows from the Federal reserve. Congress spends money into existence (by borrowing from the Fed), but then we pay back the Fed via taxes.

Poor auditing? Mate, they only audit for you doing what you say you're doing. And if you say you play peek-a-boo, and the auditors watch you play peek-a-boo, you're golden.

ISO trusts that you as the manufacturer are the expert in what you're making.

ISO9000 is a joke. They don't care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you're doing. So if your inspection process is "we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it's still on the table when we open our eyes, it's good to ship". ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.
