What’s a SKU? Google just says “Stock Keeping Unit”, but I don’t think that’s correct in this context.

“Bärendienst”, as in “A well meaning action that has unintended negative consequences”?

You have Trump now. It’d be our turn to make jokes, if we had any humour.

Unsurprisingly, its Chimpanzees. I’ve once read about a case where researchers studied a certain group of chimps, and observed that from time to time a young would disappear from the group, never to be seen again. Turns out an older female was luring them away from the group and murdered them. Apparently, there is a non-interference rule in wildlife research, so this went on until the group simply died out, because every single young fell victim to the serial killer.

If enough people in a democracy decide that they want a dictatorship instead, then there is no stopping it, because rules don’t matter at this point. The trick is to not let it get this far. Tough shit for the US, though.
