No matter how you slice it, US police officers are safer on the job and paid waaaaay more than other countries' police despite doing a…less than stellar job

The question isn't more police vs. less police. It's why are US police paid so much while doing such little and such poor police work?

Tech bros vs. Democracia

Se a superioridade biológica (raça) não tem fundamento na ciência, então será baseada em tecnologia (capital). Em qualquer caso, a hierarquia entre viventes será estabelecida, e a democracia é um dos empecilhos para isso.

More striking: themes of violence — which can include sexual violence — drove more engagement among young users than any other type of content, according to the report.
