I miss the routine more than I expected

[Richard Coleman @Richcolmann]

@RokoMijic And there’s no such thing as a well run large state is just ideology.
Example, healthcare. Left fully to the market, profit comes before people. That is exactly why public systems exist

[Richard Coleman @Richcolmann]

@RokoMijic That argument only works if you assume private power is accountable and public power is not. That is obviously false.
Companies answer to profit, not the public. They can exploit workers, pollute, monopolize markets, and still avoid real accountability

Protests and campaigns grew until, in 2014, parliament finally repealed the article that let rapists avoid punishment through marriage

[Richard Coleman @Richcolmann]

Italy had Franca Viola. In the 1960s she refused to marry her rapist, went to trial, won justice, and helped end the law that let rapists walk free by marrying their victims.Morocco had Amina Filali. In 2012, at just 16, she was raped.

[Yves ౨ৎ @yvessirae]

In 1960s Italy, if a woman was raped, her 'honor' was considered damaged. And guess what? The rapist could walk free... if he married her.
She was raped... and everyone told her to MARRY her rapist. But she became the first woman in Italy to say... No.
Franca was just 17.
She had a whole life ahead But her former fiancé, Filippo Melodia, kidnapped her... held. her for 8 days... and raped her.
When she returned, society whispered Just marry him... it will restore your honor.
Even the law said this marriage would erase his crime. But Franca did something no girl had ever dared...
She looked at her family, at the court, at the whole country and said:
I will NOT marry my rapist.
Her case went to trial.
She faced threats, insults, pressure from the whole town... But she didn't break.
She WON. Filippo was sentenced to prison.
And years later this law was abolished. All because one girl chose courage over silence.

She was beaten and mistreated. When she tried to speak out, she found no real support. Seven months later, in March 2012, Amina took her own life by swallowing rat poison, Her death sparked massive outrage in Morocco

[Richard Coleman @Richcolmann]

Her tragic death sparked outrage, protests, and campaigns. In 2014, Morocco's parliament amended Article 475, repealing the provision that allowed rapists to evade justice through marriage

Bureaucracy is a cancer

[Richard Coleman @Richcolmann]

Housing isn't missing, affordable housing near jobs is. Prices jumped faster than wages cheap credit, investors didn't help, and rules often block building where demand is. Fix ideas, tax homes kept empty, allow more building near transit/jobs, and grow public/ nonprofit rentals
