I would hardly call what the US does as a fix considering it still has pretty poor crime rates compared to it's peers.
You say that like the US isn't already holding 25% of the worlds prison population with only 4.5% the overall population.
They were looking for the ability to shun and persecute people who didn't step to their particular religious and cultural beat.
I don't see much of the value here except for training cops to be bigger authoritarian sticks. Seems like at best a money sink or worse a path for corruption to hand out government money without adequete oversight.
What does the US spend towards NATO that it wouldn't spend if NATO didn't exist? The US has as many aircraft carriers as the entire rest of the world combined, and thats not because NATO requested it. Nor does NATO…
Why does the interest matter much if you are going to declare bankruptcy anyways?
In my rural located college it was 9k per year for undergrad tuition if you lived in-state, add 5k or more if you aren't from the state, but you also needed food and a place to live and books and computer. I would…
Why would it matter if I just declared bankruptcy?
Whats to stop people in their 20s now taking out tons of credit then declaring bankruptcy without the college?
If that was an actual problem wouldn't people be doing it without the college already? When I was in my early 20s I got non-stop credit offers and I could have easily pulled out tens of thousands in crappy debt.
I actually had my gmail's backup email at yahoo recycled and I had to remake that account. But genrally I consider these email accounts as my master key to all my other accounts. It has a master password that I am…
I barely use my gmail that often. But I still need an email for password recovery.
I would think just because everything is so cumulatively complicated and interconnected that if you tried to trace a line through a complex biological processes and explain it all you will end up with 1,000 PhD thesis…
To be fair many of those are multiplayer games with required updates and anticheat.
Yeah that is what I do with an OG steam controller. I don't really understand why so many people are resistant to the idea. It makes a far better media center than any smart tv too in my opinion.
It is far from complete but yeah I got co-op 1 gig fiber in my rural 56k only area like 2-3 years ago. Some places nearby still don't have it but expansion is ongoing. Some select areas are starting to offer 2 gig but…
Part of the problem is also the margins to support the top heavy capital class (and the restrictions and permits also favor the capital class). The same reason auto manufacturers put more effort into making expensive…
If you level a city you just removed 95% of the reason for trying to capture that city. Spending untold billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives for a pile of ash would never pay itself off.
To me it seems like the minority would be far more interested in implementing surveillance tools so they can target the majority in order to try and gain and maintain power.
Once the chip fabs get bombed much of modern society collapses and insurrection and civil uprising becomes everyone's #1 concern. Politicians are just too stupid to realize this because they live in a protected bubble…
Politicians don't gain their position by being smart and down to earth.
Well they get lots of fines and fees from court and jail when someone is charged. But even if the stolen plate isn't really stolen its an easy excuse to pull someone over and catch them for other crimes. It's why cops…
Or they don't have to care about mistakes because most people are too poor to pursue a case against local cops and courts or flock. Any excuse to pull someone over will be used by police to extort people because thats…
Yeah, I treat my phone like a landline phone. If I don't answer right away then you gotta leave a message and ill see it when I have a break to check it or not. Im not sure being available 24/7 365 by everybody for…
Its obviosly more dangerous with medicine but I see the same thing with other non-tech topics here like agriculture and construction trades so I always take non-tech topic comments with a grain of salt on here. There is…
