Every time I hear about a solar flare now, I kind of hope for a repeat of the Carrington Event.

Or they're doing what my company does, and holding offerings open to harvest resumes, either to sell the data or to have people they can throw on a list for their recruitment staff. Also just pumping numbers for board meetings - "we had 9k applicants for these 3 positions" sounds impressive and not dystopian to a certain type of investor.

For those not doing the math - assuming a trillion dollars just gets dumped into a bucket labeled "world hunger" (because we as the world decide to start taxing millionaires, billionares, etc heavily), and assuming we'd need $93 million to eradicate it annually, we could eradicate world hunger for the next 10,752 years.

If an insurance company refused to carry a cop, they'd be sued out of existence by every police union and booster org in the nation.

As someone who's anti death penalty for any case, I'd prefer we waste money on incarcerating people if we must, rather than risk killing the wrong person. People have made entire careers out of justifying why an (usually) innocent person has to die, using a lot of junk science (bite mark, hair, thread analysis, a lot of CSI stuff is absolute bullshit or at least no better than 50/50).

The crime is usually better known as "being black in public". More specifically "being a black authority figure".

Especially with the recent East Wing argument, the lesson is "if you do it fast enough and ignore other people getting angry about it, you can do whatever you want."

"I found an island paradise that's also full of old Soviet bunkers and we're pretty sure that's gonna be nice to have when the next American civil/world war kicks off, we just need to make it palatable for our billionaire friends who can't stand looking at nature".

Horrible fact: the number they call for almost exactly matches the number of nonwhite people in the US, including indigenous peoples.

This is literally calling for an ethnostate, and should be treated that way.

Instead of using numerical codes, Bungie uses animals as error codes for connectivity and server issues.

It's apparently largely going to be military guys (who have to meet certain height/weight/fitness criteria). Because everything has to be a show of force.

Can you count, suckers?
