I think Trump would love to start a war: distraction from the Epstein files, a nice scapegoat for economic hardship, the possibility to grab even more power under the guise of wartime emergencies, …

Hell, if it takes long enough he could postpone the next election.

Well, if he fails again he can just get another $40bn. I can see why that appeals to the voters…

The ‘S’ on IoT stands for security!

His face looks like the school table of the disturbing kid.

It gets even more unfair: participants get selected by chance (if they fulfill the criteria)

BUT it’s just a pilot project. I hope it’s successful and gets implemented for everyone - I mean everyone has the potential to become an artist if money isn’t the deciding factor anymore.

Who knows how many great musicians, painter, etc. are stuck in a 9-5 job? I for example want to create a game… Not really “art” in the classical sense, but creative and prone to bring me next to no money unless I have a lot of luck.

Hell, even scientists might be more free in what they want to study if money is less of a problem…

UBI might be a great thing and I agree that art isn’t the only thing that could benefit from it.

As I said: not surprised.

Shootings in a war zone, who would investigate?

There are places in the world where the law breaks down. You wouldn’t even have to go to a war zone for that: If the super rich abducted some homeless people who would notice? Especially if it’s in a poor country with already corrupt police.

Hell even in “first world” countries the poorest are nearly unprotected.

Humans tend to push boundaries. For the super rich there are nearly no boundaries set. Breaking most laws only costs money, which doesn’t scale with the wealth of the culprit.

Drugs, legal girls, legal entertainment gets probably boring if you have it all the time. So they get more depraved.

I would not be surprised if some of them torture, kill and enslave people just for kicks

A lot of historical figures get mentioned by contemporary writing of that period- the more important that person is the more information can generally be found. Yet Jesus who, even if you ignore the miracles, should have been an important spiritual leader wasn’t mentioned.

There is next to no evidence of Jesus Christ unless you count Christian sources, which have a bit of a bias.

The Romans for example were big on book keeping, yet no mention of Jesus can be found.

The existence of Jesus is possible, but far from certain - of course that’s something Christians don’t like to hear and the Christian church actively fights.

Investors hate a unpredictable market. Trump’s constant changes and insane policies make the US very uncomfortable for any business.

Fly from Canada to Europe and try to get asylum there.

The majority never voted for the Nazi party either. It doesn’t matter. If they don’t rise up against fascism, that’s enough for the fascist to win.

A lot of people were saying that the last election was the choice between democracy and fascism - and still enough people either didn’t know or didn’t care.

I’m afraid that the erosion of the education system did what it was designed to do: produced enough uneducated people to allow propaganda to break democracy.

What about insects and other pests? I already hate if windows don’t have fly screens - I would probably hate this.

We have a openly homosexual and a openly lesbian politician here in Germany. He is corrupt as hell and she is the worst possible person you could imagine.

Having a hard life doesn’t automatically make you a good person.

I don’t know if it’s different in the US, but here the downloading isn’t punished, it’s the sharing that gets you in trouble.

Yeah, a friend of mine did something similar to me once. Called me ugly in a roundabout way. I don’t think she even noticed. I can’t even blame her - it’s true after all. Still hurts.

Congratulations, it’s a goth!

The average IQ is 100. That is not a lot and half of the population is below that. I’m more surprised how bad our education system is in filtering out the dumb people. Someone who is ‘not smart’ but has good memory and is diligent can make it frighteningly far in our society. Not to mention nepo babies who are a different kind of problem

Either that or you are necrophiliac
