Have you tried straining it? You can probably pull out a lot of the whey like that's.

Rebuttal: wealthy neighbourhoods have:

  • the most security cameras and, potentially, paparazzi.
  • the fastest police response times.
  • better detective work because the victims are actually people of 'importance'.
  • possibly personal security

All the vans have GPS for 'productivity' tracking of the employees. You're better off unloading it.

P.S. I don't endorse criminal behaviour. This is all hypothetical :P

Apologies double didn't realize the double asterisks would screw up the formatting. 1.4 trillion trillion cubic meters ocean volume. 4 trillion cubic meters fresh water consumption

$12,000 / year * 600,000 homeless people in the USA =
$7,200,000,000 / year

Maybe let's start small and help some homeless people get off the streets for the low low price of ~0.1% of the country's annual spending.

I assume that once you have a stable situation, the supreme gets cut off. As more homeless get off the streets, this number should decrease (but probably not disappear [my cynicism says that we'll probably never completely solve homelessness]). As more homeless become taxably employed, federal government revenue will increase; spending should decrease as various programs can be throttled back. I'm sure some sociologist-economist can give you a calculated estimated ROI figure on this investment, but I feel that the numbers would probably balance pretty evenly with the added benefit of helping a bunch of people and communities.

UBI would be great but I don't expect that to occur without a tonne of baby steps

Basing this solely on the trailer, the King is not wrong. Not everyone's wishes should be granted. As the ruler / government of the country, choosing the wishes that have the best impact on the well-being of the kingdom is kind of his job. Catching the person who is granting wishes randomly, or just all wishes is a reasonable course of action for the King. Of course, he's probably a baby-eater or something equally villainous to make the audience hate him.

Star Trek adjacent, but the Orville had an episode like that I think.
