Like a reverse Enders Game, where the fighters believe they're fighting a war but it's actually a simulation. I think there was a Star Trek episode about that, A Taste of Armageddon.

I'm not sure that fire-with-fire strategy is the most effective. At least historically it seems to have mixed results. I think going after their economy makes the most sense: sanctions, refinery attacks, sabotage; hit them in the wallet, break their capacity to continue the carnage.
I don't really want us to get any further into the murder-drone business than we already are, but it does seem to be the way conflicts are going.
Maybe war could just become entirely drones, so instead of people dying it could be a giant game of BattleBots.
The problem with billionaires dying is that inheritance is taxed less than any other transfer of wealth, so their money just moves to someone else. It's like a cursed spirit seeking a new host. We gotta exorcism their money away.
The power of Marx compels you!
Look at me, I am your database now.
You don't think she faced an imminent need of self defense in the house of the man who abused and trafficked her? We don't know the details, but that seems like a pretty threatening situation to me. We can say that she put herself in that situation, but so did Rittenhouse.
Well, not 100%, Rittenhouse didn't face a day of jail time. Though I guess he killed two people instead of burning a house down.
Well your taxes are usually automatically deducted from your salary, but taxes on tips have to be accounted for by the worker. If you're only paid $2.13 an hour it's easy for tips to make up the bulk of your pay, leading to a big debt on tax day if you haven't property accounted for how much to withhold yourself.
Kamala also wants to remove subminimum wage for that reason. But removing tax on tips does reduce the burden on tipped workers to keep records of every tip they collect.
IMO we should get rid of subminimum wage, raise the federal minimum to $15/hr, and let workers keep their tips if people still feel like tipping; it works great in Washington State.
The biggest difference between Trump and Harris's tax free tips is that Harris wants to limit it to service and hospitality workers.
Only 10% of bank robberies fail, and 80% of stolen bank money is never recovered.
Yeah, or maybe for moving container ships. It's not quite as energy dense as the heavy fuels they're currently burning, but its only emissions are water vapor, and if we keep building renewable power generation there will be times of negative power prices where producing hydrogen with the excess will make a lot more sense.
