So what?

Profitable? Why is that a consideration?

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. When the time comes to dismantle the Jewish character of Israel to establish the successor post-apartheid democratic "State of Israel and Palestine", I hope the zionists remember that it was they who killed the Two State Solution.

He couldn't last a blackout from major media for a day because his RATINGS would drop. It's Trump. Without TV he's nothing.

So what we won't be getting direct access to Trump's asshole of a mouth 24-7? Trump needs the spotlight more than we do. If the media networks actually collaborate to ensure journalistic standards, what's he going to do? Lose the coverage? Media need to do they fucking job or US democracy is done.

This is oddly rhythmical/musical.

But what will the Harry Potter lady say? She's terrified of trans people you know.

You obviously know better than the German paramedics.

Je suis d'accord avec le sentiment qu'on ne peut pas juste densifier sans créer des infrastructures, mais la solution n'est pas de ne pas densifier un secteur. La solution est de ...créer des infrastructures (tout en supposant qu'on parle des écoles, des garderies, des parcs, des cliniques etc)

The way it's worded, it makes it sound that anyone opposed to their POV is one of "terrorism advocates, genocide deniers, holocaust trivializers etc." I'm hoping it's just unfortunate wording.

Crime prevention does indeed start with social programs. But it doesn't end there. I'm all for defunding the police and I do agree that in the US police is really out of hand, but let's not be naive here. Social programs aren't going to address organized crime, or crimes of passion, crimes of immaturity (tenagers are both immature hormone soups and capable of causing harm) or political extremism. Antisocial behaviours can appear even in the socialistest of the welfarest of the welfare states.

Not to mention that cops have at the very least also the role of maintaining order, which is different from preventing crime. Think traffic cops, or rowdy crowd marshalling, or stopping disorderly conduct in public, or (extreme example) breaking up the mob that wants to lynch the alleged pedophile, to make sure he gets due process.

I'm all for a profound overhaul of policing, and for deep changes to what first responders are called for what emergency, but, honestly there exist functions for which police is useful.

A culture that obsoletes electronics every couple of years and enshittifies services every couple of other years cannot be seriously talking about MMIs/BCIs.
