The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.
It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.
Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to
No one does that.
President has wide latitude in matters like this. Air strikes in this context are legal for him. He can even deploy troops as long as their deployment isn’t longer then 60 days.
Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.
Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.
Yeah, but I’m talking about if this happened to me when I was a kid.
I kinda would have been, but I had a dictionary at home so didn’t use the library one much.
The programs these churches run are typically filling in gaps in social programs that the government doesn’t have the political mandate to enact.
If these churches were taxed you’d see their charities diminished while the funding went to some pork belly spending project, or at the very least not related to what services the church is suddenly not providing.
Not all government spending is a net positive.
Wouldn’t know, have ublock.
8gb of RAM? What year is this?
Further erode relations between Israel and other ME countries.
Turn international political option against Israel.
The only path to any kind of resolution in which Gaza gets sovereignty is if Israel is forced to the table by the international community.
To do that, Hamas has to get Israel to kill as many Gaza citizens as they can
What media is an LLM going to be able to reproduce that I can’t already reproduce with a copy paste?
That critical mass will never come because people don’t feel the data has been stolen from them.
Rather, it’s traded in exchange for whatever online services they use.
And to them it’s a decent trade.
Everyone knows how dangerous guns are. Part of the point of owning one is that it can be used in a dangerous situation to protect yourself.
The mental issue part is why anyone would want to harm another human with one.
I’m around your same age and have always been told immigrants generally good.
That’s not a generational view you have there. I’m willing to bet that immigrant is a synonym for ‘not white’ by whoever in your past has said this.
Apparently the plan was to disband the local department and merge it into the department of a neighboring area, then split the cost in an effort to lower the overall operating costs of police services in the area.
The other city they were going to do this with declined the deal and so this town had to keep their local force in tact.
Upon hearing that the city they worked for was trying to eliminate their jobs, a bunch quit.
We have quite a while yet. We spend about 200 billion servicing the debt right now and have around 4.8 trillion in revenue.
The warning line is having a debt equal to your GDP. The US has a GDP of around 28 trillion but a debt of 34 trillion. So we are past that warning line, but by itself that doesn’t mean anything.
For other countries it would signal to banks and other countries that it might be a bad idea to loan to them, but the US has a kind of special status in the global economy and this hasn’t slowed down loaning so far.
No joke, 50th anniversary of the first F16 flight is coming up very soon.
Granted the guts of that plane have been upgraded over and over, but still.
18 billion yearly profit last I checked.
Not enough.
Never enough.
