Tree herders were our greatest innovation ever.

Limits are usually imposed by item design & constraints of physics rather than religious, political or ideological dictats

Whenever somebody is overpaid or makes a false benefits claim, everything is thrown at them to recover every last penny. However, when billions get stolen by rich people, they don't go after them with the same vigour, and many times, the government just writes it off as 'unretrievable.' Yeah, right.

They think it's power rather than inhumanity.

It's tempting to treat "the American right is a death cult" as rhetorical hyperbole, but when you look at e.g. their enthusiasm for executing people who are *clearly* innocent, no actually these people really do just worship and revel in death and murder

Has anyone told the Tories that young people can't afford to buy their own homes? Abolishing stamp duty will just benefit the wealthy and private landlords. #wato

~great. Very much in the style of IP vs Switched telephony.

And because of the limited actions required it wouldn't need to be a wharehouse sized data mining behemoth.

Well, the sensors do, but the control could be centralised - a bit like the Uber taxi app.

Calling the nearest autonomous cabin to carry you to where you need to go would be ~

And the violent settlers, & murderous IDF, what does he do to discourage them? West Bank & Syria are being overrun now too.

There are many who do, but the issue is the cost of housing rather than the lack of it. With capitalist corporate developers we won't see prices fall as supply increases, we'll just see profits & directors' pay spiral. Prove me wrong.

Strangely enough Fascists & racists won't admit who they are either. 🤷‍♂️

I see no evidence of humanitarian zionism, any more than people who are "a little bit racist".

But I'm open to your proof.

Check out what Lou Macari did in Stoke to give people a chance to rebuild their lives. It doesn't cost a fortune & the results soon recover the costs with taxes paid & reduced police/NHS involvement.

Every one of these lives mattered but to see this includes eleven children is heartbreaking. The amount of national resource required to solve this problem is so relatively small that Government should just spend it immediately (as it has before!)

UK deaths of 1,611 homeless people in 2024 is record high

Most are linked to suicide or drugs, with spice and nitazines increasingly deadly.

Tbf, Zionism is the Jewish equivalent of evangelical Christo-Fascists or ISIS for Muslims.

Bondi said numerous times that the democrats caused the government shutdown which automatically disqualifies her from the attorney general position since she's not supposed to be political and take sides on this issue, she clearly is protecting trump which is not her job.
