Yes, although this is NZ. But yeah, having it get out of control like that does definitely sound like sovereign citizenship shit.

The US is just going to isolate itself by doing a trade war by itself. The only way this was going to really hurt China was if the US somehow got the EU, Canada and Australia to put the same tariffs on China. Instead the US is just pushing everyone into China's arms and making things more expensive on their end.
What "political, religious, racial or ideological cause" is this advancing?
Yep, that $10000 will be gone with the first doctor's visit.
It's a crime and terrible, but it's not terrorism (ie. Violence for political ends). Terrorism laws allow the government to do all kinds of stuff like searches without warrants and extended pre-trial detention. It's good that they're taking these crimes seriously, but the terrorism units should stay far away from this (and should be abolished entirely, ideally).
And go after the influencers for incitement of crimes. If what Andrew Tate and others are publishing is causing people to do this, they should be locked up.
Yeah, you'd have to pay me a lot more to even consider it, $10000 seems laughably low.
And the government is just using this as an excuse to slowly expand what falls under the terrorism legislation, until everything's terrorism and the rule of law is completely undermined.
That would just give them an excuse to go deeper into Syria. They're not above getting a bunch of their own civilians killed to be able to retaliate.
You could just swap them on day 364 and claim they're a new installation. Or just say you swapped them.
It's the only sauce you can use with their printers.
Biden didn't bomb Russia either, this is a bipartisan policy.
All UBI proposals I've seen don't get anywhere near what you'd need to live off, and even worse, it's sometimes sold as a way to gut other social programs. We definitely need to do something if we really are going into a world where AI is taking jobs, but it needs to be something better (maybe just provide free housing, and other basic necessities if AI can provide us with unlimited stuff anyway?).
But the way things are going, the billionaires just want to make their own personal wealth grow and don't think what would happen to the rest of us in the future they're imagining.
