But no, there is this magical third option where there is a structure to run a government as massive as the federal government and actually has plans on how to run the government and not grift to help act as a ratchet to keep politics more conservative.

The only third party I respect is the Working Families Party, and part of that is that they are willing to play the current game of politics to get their policies implemented or at least a version closer to their vision.

I don’t look at it is taking care of the unemployed.

Ireland has punched above its weight for centuries in producing cultural works. This is Ireland investing in its arts community directly by having its struggling artists be able to spend more time making art instead of other jobs.

A thriving arts scene creates prestige for the country, provides amenities to the local population, and increases tourism.

There can be also cases where the de jure rules are that everyone is equal while there is a de facto understanding on the split in power.

I don’t think they’ve said anything yet, but I don’t know if the tech is there for identifying random people.

Yeah, but you got to be able to word it right.

Does your friend have an ex they don’t want to know where they are?

As I recall, Ring doesn’t provide camera footage to everyone on demand, just law enforcement. I can easily see Ring advertising back saying they only provide data to law enforcement to help prosecute criminals or willingly shared by Ring owners.

Leaning on the ICE issues right now would also work in some areas.

Some areas, yes. However, that could end up implying that the camera system is being used to capture criminals in general.

It is a better idea than vandalism, but it requires thinking though to make sure that Amazon doesn’t get a quick win.

That’s just going to grow adoption.

People are buying Ring cameras/AI surveillance because they feel unsafe and are using these cameras to feel safer. If cameras start to get damaged in a specific neighborhood, residents are likely going to see it as a coordinated attack and invest in more cameras, including cameras to watch the other cameras.

A lot.

A lot of Mexican cartels also have the silver or lead choice.

You mean the 1 million in cash and 10 tons of coke?

What other contemporary music was as groovy?

Most discussions of 50’s rock and roll tend to approach as being significant and revolutionary for its era instead of as a piece of work by itself.

It is the Seinfeld is unfunny trope.

Why are you putting the decisions of others on me?

I’m not denying the slavery. I’m stating what the decisions are that are influencing choosing the UAE as a vacation destination.

The issue seems to come from visiting places that are likely to have police shoot and/or arrest you for not speaking the local language.

Or he got a bribe from the first bridge owner.

It would likely be that the clothes have to be sold as is. What will then happen is that the clothes get sold for essentially scrap to a country that will shred the clothes. Either that, or these clothes will be sold next to shirts celebrating the 2026 New England Patriots for winning the Super Bowl.

China may not be perceived as a military threat, but it is credibly an economic threat. China is returning to a state where Europe has difficulty conducting trade with China as China will only accept natural resources for trade. That can be dangerous for an economy with a large safety net, declining productivity, and little in terms of natural resources.

The EU is comprised of sovereign entities, but those entities have chosen to give up certain competencies to the Union for various benefits. The EU already handles trade diplomacy and monetary policy through democratic institutions; it isn’t that hard to imagine that could also take on competencies related to defense.

The EU also could share the competency of defense with the various nations. After all, there are other countries which have sub national entities that have their own militaries.

They’re already doing it to access the social security website.

Having read a lot of what you’ve recently written, I would work in your parents’ small business and train yourself to take it over.

You’re struggling with a lot of issues that are preventing you from thriving and part of those issues are made worse by not being economically independent. That you’re pointing out that homelessness is a risk seems to indicate that you don’t have enough savings to pursue your own path to freedom.
