Thankies have rascism and prejudice against certain groups, just like neo-nazis, they tend to believe a lot of antisemitic bs for example and excuse the rascism of people like Che Guevara when he was in Angola or so many other examples, they just have good PR to hide that racism.

    Brisbane police accuse teenager of being the sickest, coolest, most badass teen they have ever had to deal with.

    Go to most grocery stores you'll see them with all the gift cards, the visa prepaid cards are either set at certain limits, like $50 or so, or if I remember correctly there are some where they set the value at checkout.

    Yes on a financial level it may come out the same, as fisch said but they also said it is less politically toxic to give child benefits than to punish a group in particular for either deciding not to have children or not being able to.

    Rats fleeinga sinking ship are still rats. Remember them, they need to work to make up for what they did, don't welcome them back without them doing that work, be it MTG, Gabbard, or any other douchebag from Trumps orbit. They'll plead forgiveness for being Christians after ignoring all christian tenants that didn't help their political aspirations, so at the very least they should actually work to make up for their bullshit, they'll never make up for it fully but from members of the supreme court, house, Senate, and the executive branch that enabled all the criminal behavior of the government to the Nick Fuentes, Joe Rogan, and other "influencers", down to the douchebag uncles edgy manosphere trolls and on need to actually work for redemption one they might never actually achieve but should continue to strive for.

    I'd go further and say the seeds of the Roman Republic's downfall was set during the second Punic war when so much wealth and territory was amassed and it mostly went to the top, follow up when the Gracchi brothers did their failed bid to change things, or the several genocides the republic did, such as the 3rd Punic war or what Julius Caesar did against the Gauls again concentration of wealth of power and eroding of any checks against generals seizing control.

    That assumes that there are only those two options, you have the paperclip problem as an option, the best case scenario is that the super human AI model just ignores us or wants to cooperate with us the way we try to cooperate with species like wolves to manage ecosystems.
