I mean it wasn’t random. They came here, no one was present and they claimed it. And many were ok with sharing a bit when Europeans first arrived. The Europeans were the ones consistently ignoring their right of ownership and their right to exist.
I don’t doubt the possibility but that’s not the situation here and now with defending Ukraine.
Except he’s not funding a war, he’s funding the defense of a nation fighting for freedom and its right to exist.
Ukraine didn’t get in this war as a pissing match with Russia. It was wrongly attacked and is a democracy defending itself. It’s had its children kidnapped and its civilians targeted. It will cease to exist if it loses. We don’t have a greedy capitalist funding an unjust war for profit as you’re trying to suggest. Helping Ukraine is the right thing to do. Refusing to help them will simply result in Europe fighting a better-resourced Russia later.
First, this post is about social security disability insurance, SSDI, not social security retirement benefits. The disability fund is paid into by current workers to pay the benefits of currently disabled people, which may or may not have worked previously. Someone born disabled receives benefits as an adult even if they’ve never contributed.
Second, your statement isn’t valid for SS retirement benefits either. Current SS taxes pay the benefits of current SS recipients. The taxes have never been saved to pay for future benefits. The more you pay in the more credits you receive for your future benefits, but nothing is actually saved on your behalf. If benefits are reduced, it’s not your saved money you’re being denied… it’s a promise being denied.
The need for privacy in crypto is significant and a hinderance to wide adoption. With most crypto if you send me money once I then know your wallet address and I can then look up every transaction you’ve ever made with that wallet and every future transaction you make later. Clearly that’s a problem.
The fact that criminals are more motivated by privacy concerns doesn’t reduce the need and expectation of privacy for the rest of us.
To hear you say “Hey Google” it has to listen to everything you say, all the time. While they pinky-promise they aren’t doing anything with all the voice data they’re getting while listening, do you trust them?
Correct. Trumpers are ok with you having democrat derangment syndrome… that might lead to you storming the capital but that’s totally ok!
Surprising that they’re still cut-off since it’s the Antarctic summer right now.
Well you aren’t expecting the Republicans to wise up are you?
Yep, we’re fucked.
Thank you. I couldn’t remember the names and was rushing my comment before a meeting. I knew someone wouldn’t let that go without a correction.
Calling GPS part of imperialism is a stretch. It was put in the air at no cost to another country and can be used without cost by anybody, but nobody has to use it. Other countries can launch their own satellites if they want, but they don’t because that’s expensive and GPS is free. The US isn’t making money off of it or exploiting another country with it.
Yes, the US can jam it regionally when in conflict but of course why wouldn’t we? No reason to help the enemy.
Utah enters the chat…
You might know this already but if not, people who have TSA Precheck don’t need to remove their laptops or take off their shoes. Sometimes TSA guys will remind people of this in the precheck scanner line. It’s not always super clear which scanner line is the precheck line vs regular though and perhaps you were hearing the precheck instruction instead.
If you read the whole thing you’ll learn that for some time their cards were in fact deactivated and they had to sneak in behind other people.
Crypto doesn’t avoid network fees. The fees aren’t quite as arbitrary and are shared with a broader pool of those providing the network, but the fees are still there providing the incentive for the network transactions to be processed.
The boosting of propaganda and the identification, tracking and exploitation of government targets.
People in key government positions are still people like us and they love social media too. Having an app on their phone doing data mining can identify people of interest and then collect data, target and compromise them. Even without the app on a government issued phone they can identify key people using their personal phones and then target them for more sophisticated surveillance.
Best to talk to a lawyer for specifics, but like non-compete agreements, NDAs often include things that can’t legally be enforced. The people wanting you to sign the NDA just hope you don’t know better and you’ll shut up.
If you know better, you can take their money and then disclose the facts anyway.
That brought a legit chuckle!
No OTA broadcasts in the US utilize 4k yet. ATSC 3.0 is being utilized some, but not exclusively, but no one is broadcasting 4k unfortunately
According to the article she supported Harris and donated $700,000 to her campaign and other PACs trying to get her elected. She’s doing more positive than most billionaires, that’s for sure.
