Why would that go better in Palestine than in Afghanistan where the people didn't fight the terrorists even after decades of training, arming, and attempted nation-building?

I'm pretty sure the Supremacy Clause would make it a very bad time for whoever is unconstitutionally trying to block federal agents from protecting the criminal-in-chief.

Unless you count all the aid from before Ukraine was even an independent country?

Columbus was already dead for over hundred years.

If you're teaching history, that's already provided for cuz you can paid for teaching. UBI would just enable the case of a person learning things without then teaching those things to others or doing anything of value with the knowledge.

My bad, that's true. I guess it's that private foundations are more limited in how much you can deduct. To qualify as a public charity, a foundation needs to get at least a third of its funding from the public and have other board members, so they can't just be self-funded and self-directed. A private foundation still has to be for a qualified charitable purpose but only lets you deduct half as much of contributions.

Foundations aren't deductible though. You have to give it away to an honest-to-God charity approved by the IRS for it to do anything. And even then, you can never get more money by donating it than you would just keeping the money.

Logitech doesn't manufacture anything in America. They moved production from the US, Ireland, and Taiwan to China in 1994.

Yeah, they're nothing fancy, but that's their sole purpose. People aren't carrying around spark plugs unless they're car thieves.

Because they have special ceramic tools. Windows will always be incredibly easy for thieves to break with no effort, but they're incredibly hard for people without specialized burglary tools to break.

Stocks are basically a percentage of ownership. The share price as a dollar amount is meaningless because it could be 1% of a company or 0.000000001%. The relevant number here is that Reddit is IPOing at a valuation of $5 billion (that stock buys a ¹⁄₁₅₀₀₀₀₀₀₀ interest), which all I can reply with is hahahahahahahaha

It's very hard to have glass in single-stream recycling. Glass inevitably shatters and gets mixed with tiny bits of paper making it worse than new glass and really increases the work required for the whole recycling process. It's great to recycle in a dual-stream system, but if you can put your glass and paper in the same bin, it's about as difficult to recycle as plastic is.
