More likely it’s Trump trying to get people to forget the Epstein files. Seriously, the man will generate or hijack any outrageous issue for his own short term goals.
It use to be said that you shouldn’t be afraid of your government however things have changed. If everyone starts wearing samurai or Halloween masks just to get some privacy it will just be another step in societal decline.
This one of those genie out of the bottle situation, we like some of the things AI can do yet it can do a lot of others that are not so good. Regulation won’t work as shown in this case, the work is done in Europe on a US issue. I suspect that we all will start wearing full face masks again.
To be fair, he didn’t actually prosecute Assange and he extended medical benefits to a lot of people who didn’t have it before. When you look at the mess that is US legislature, I’m surprised that he achieved any medical reforms.
Most of the world now lives in huge cities. A societal collapse probably would be devastating for a much larger proportion of the population than in previous times. A lot of dead people as well as lot of dog eat dog behaviour due to no food in cities.
Most of the world’s problems are driven by excessive population growth. Even our capitalist economic systems seem to demand an expanding population. It’s pretty obvious that endless expansion is just going to explode or maybe we will have destroyed the climate before then.
The long and the short is that we should be reducing population and find ways to live with fewer billionaires.
No, the takeover is real. Trump uses chaos as a distraction as a way to mask or change the focus. A large amount of the time he is devoted to making himself look good or divert attention from something that he doesn’t like. That’s part of why he does outrageous things.
It’s a bit like “my kids will only eat chocolate” and the therapist’s response “where are they getting the chocolate from?”. If the kids are using VPNs then where are they getting the money for the VPN from? Is this parental consent?
The problem with the rule of law is that everyone has to be accountable and believe that the law is on their side. Friends, neighbours, strangers, police, politicians etc all are expected to do the right thing. When those in authority don’t the whole thing breaks down. In this case the 2 perps probably had observed how ICE gets around and emulated the behaviour. Lucky the homeowner was using an earlier version of lawful behaviour as a guide.
Sounds ridiculous. Must a lot in the Epstein files.
