What are my biggest strengths and weaknesses? I know what I think they are, but I'd like an outside perspective
Weakness is probably assuming stuff that you can’t have an opinion on - how can you say England is an L country when you’ve never been to it?
because it is
How? Have you even been to it?
I’ve been to Britain and I think that it’s okay. The monarchy is an L system, but not really much more than some of the corrupt/undemocratic stuff that happens here in America. 🤷♂️
I mean, the monarchs don’t do anything really. Just publicity figures.
That’s not true, they are beneficiaries of public tax money. Not because they did anything to deserve tax money, but because of their birth. A fundamental concept of equality/democracy is that no person can be above another person purely by birth.
Imagine paying for this one random British families expenses (not cheap!) with your tax money. Even the poorest Brits have to pay these people?!
yes, but they bring in over $2 billion to the British economy per year. Net profit for the economy
is it the monarchy or the historical significance of the buildings, grounds, etc.? Additionally, this is not an excuse for funneling poor people’s money toward a family who isn’t special for anything except their birth. 🤷♂️
A lot is the monarchy. What do you think someone would most likely to go to England for - seeing Wembley or Buckingham palace?
there are studies that indicate that most tourists don’t care about seeing the actual royal family. why don’t they elect or choose a family randomly to be the "royals” if they really want to, at least its not exploitative that way 😜
No, I mean caring about the buildings that are there due to the royal family
the government can care for them just like any other historical site, but giving special treatment/fully paid expenses for a family just doesn’t sit right with me. on the other hand, they could just make it voluntary whether you want to pay the monarch (who is non-elected/non-democratic and whom not everybody supports)
I do partially agree with you though - a lot of tax money went towards to Meghan and Harry buying a villa in Spain. Ridiculous
I live in ireland so I kinda know what went down with them and us not too long ago…
from what I’ve seen over the past ~1 year, you seem like a very persistent person. but you can appear slightly overconfident sometimes. (i don’t actually know you, though)🤷♂️
Your weakness is asking a social media thing what your weakness are.
i’d rather ask them than ask nobody
