Okay but hear me out. A remote CLU drone capable of giving the instructions.

I saw one on Tiktok today, who worked those jobs before immigrants?

Slaves. Slaves worked those jobs. Then former slaves treated like slaves. Then immigrants. Literally right into the 1940s and then Mexican labor was imported.

Yup. Just classic Russian corruption where there's something in the inventory. Just not what it's supposed to be.

Stops shrapnel, pistol rounds, and spalling.

That's not true. Living donors can donate part of their liver.

Oh no. The US did that for China. And because it really was time for a new rifle.

The plate should work on its own. The thing that stands out to me is there's not even deformation. None of the impact is being caught and spread out. Just perfect holes. So yeah. Well outside the envelope for where the kevlar shell would have made a difference.

Except this really is well reported. It's not obscure or contested in science. It's not really what asking for sources is supposed to be for.

There are other comments on this chain hours older than mine with sources. But sure, I'll take a jab at it just for you.

The pilot programs have created scores of stories like Everett’s about how a small amount of money led to massive change in a recipient’s life. And a growing body of research based on the experiments shows that guaranteed income works — that it pulls people out of poverty, improves health outcomes, and makes it easier for people to find jobs and take care of their children. If empirical evidence ruled the world, guaranteed income would be available to every poor person in America, and many of those people would no longer be poor.

We've known for years, decades really.

There have been hundreds of UBI studies at this point. Most of them with headlines in major papers. They all say the same thing.

Actually yeah. Sequestering money from the economy is one of the worst possible things to do according to economics.

We actually got as far as running a trial of it back then. But we couldn't keep going with it because... The divorce rate went up. And that was obviously super bad. Can't have women escaping, uhh er, deciding they want things.
