I’m gonna have what plants crave.

Pass a law that says you can’t be a violent criminal.

But Brawndo got what plants crave, it’s got electrolytes!

By this logic because there is infinite time and infinite possibilities, we could develop a cure or a virus that kills this prion and avert this crisis. We could also not and just die. Then there is a possibility that none of this exists and this is a simulation and the developers haven’t added this as a feature yet.

If there was a true civil war the military would probably be divided with some on one side and some on the other but I really doubt there will be a civil war any time in the near future.

It’s got Electrolytes!

Dolph Lundgren is going to star in a movie with that exact premise!

And how did that work out for the estimated 15-55 million people that died of starvation as a result of the “equitable distribution of land ownership”?

Rent Control can only have one outcome. Decreased amount of available new or renovated rentals which coupled with an ever increasing demand for housing, creates some of the housing shortages we see in larger cities today.

UBI can be an effective way to fight poverty, and would be an even more effective way to combat poverty if we implemented a Negative Income tax whereby all welfare programs are rolled into the funding.

They also assume all the risk of the property too. Tenants can leave as they please but landlords are stuck with the property if the market turns.

What happens to all the people that lose their jobs due to this regulation. Are they better off?

Social Security is one of the greatest scams of all time.

Generally speaking, this is how it works

Lower Income families pay into it longer (didn’t go to college, have to get a job and start getting taxed at 18 vs. going to college and started to be taxed at say 22)

Lower Income families receive benefits for less time (pretty much all statistics show that the wealthier you are, the longer you live)

Lower income families pay a higher percentage of their income than wealthier families. (Social Security only on the first ~$130K in income. It’s a regressive tax)

Lower income families are paid out less in benefits. You get paid out based on what you pay in.

Wealthier families typically have other passive forms of income that are not subject to the Social Security tax, this means that if they get to keep this income stream going into retirement they are at a massive advantage over lower income families who if they have to work a job in retirement that again have to pay Social Security taxes on wages they earn.

In addition to all of this, upon death of both the primary and spouse, all the money taken vanishes and cannot be passed down to their children or beneficiaries which only compounds wealth inequality.

In short, Social Security is a regressive tax that unfairly penalizes the poor and provides a higher welfare pay out to families that are wealthier.

This is why police need to be required by law to have occupational insurance.

That way even if they are found to be not guilty through qualified immunity or whatever BS, no insurance company would insure them, which means they couldn’t work as a cop anywhere.

Intelligence is not the same as Wisdom. People often conflate the two and “AI” as it exists today is equivalent to a 3 year olds level of wisdom and a 40 year olds level of intelligence. It has access to vast amounts of facts and data but is completely unable to actually “understand” context and meaning.

We exist!
