> Students in Oregon saw their reading and math scores decline over a decade when the state’s spending on schools rose by 80%, an analysis by Georgetown University shows.
Good art is secondary to avoiding some journalist writing a hit piece about how they used your company’s AI generator to depict Hitler saying the gamer word.
With Finland having joined NATO in 2023 there is a land border with Russia, so…
But yes, as you touch on later land invasion through Ukraine is far more a threat to Russia than invasion through Finland.
Don't gaslight us. Democrats have been pushing civilian disarmament HARD recently.
Restricted magazine sizes, requiring all transfers to go through a FFL, basic features bans, permits to purchase, restricting ammo purchases to FFLs raising prices, and now repeated attempts at semi-auto bans.
This isn't focused on criminals, it's trying to discourage firearm ownership in general. When states ban the federal government marksmanship program from shipping firearms to civilians AFTER they have already been background checked by a federal agency it's clear there is no attempt to stop criminals.
Latest research says it cuts heart disease risk and increases other risks.
Homicide is objective. Murder is unlawful homicide and therefore subjective.
I’m not sure how you can look at an America where it is largely illegal to build and claim with a straight face that anything is unrestrained.
Sales tax exemption is a thing when buying items for sale or materials for items for sale.

And it is expensive to build because government policies make it expensive to build. Safety codes, building codes making previously common types of housing illegal, environmental reviews, zoning, “affordable housing” requirements, development permit fees and delays.
I’m not saying all of those are bad but they have a cost but the legislators and bureaucrats who impose them don’t have to pay them.
The UK arrests people for writing the n-word on Twitter https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/black-twitter-ra... or praying silently near abortion clinics. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g9kp7r00vo so it’s not exactly a stretch.
There is the tort of outrage or "Intentional infliction of emotional distress" which does treat emotional harm as harm that can be recovered against in a civil case, but it's controversial, hard to prove and limited in scope.
Article 35: Citizens of the People’s Republic of China shall enjoy freedom of speech, the press, assembly, association, procession and demonstration.
TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is readily available.
Providing monopoly protection to Google.
They have no interest in actually competing for market share.
This isn’t universal. Oregon estimates roughly 80% of marijuana purchases are through legal sources nowadays.

Key quote: “ We find strong evidence that algorithmic pricing helps building managers set prices that are more responsive to market conditions, with adopters lowering rents more rapidly than non-adopters during economic downturns.”
The claim that RealPage leads to price fixing reminds me of the claim that inflation is happening due to corporate greed.
