To be specific, this is a pilot program, with the full launch coming later.

Right-wingers are always surprised to face consequences for their actions.
I’m honestly surprised he’s still alive. I know executions aren’t legal in Norway, but I would have thought that someone would have killed him by now.
Yup, Spiritfarer is my answer too. I played up through the first person to pass on and then couldn’t keep going.
It is difficult to get people to see things they don’t want to see.
Encouraging Jews to leave “voluntarily” was Hitler’s first step, too. Then when most people don’t want to leave their homes, you justify your escalation by saying you gave them a chance.
Nothing to see here, folks, just Elon Musk, business genius at work.
Technically the vegan thing is possible if someone figures out a way to make lab-grown meat work. Definitely more realistic than a non-violent Nazi.
I mean, he kind of has to say that, but the fact is the US betrays allies all the time. Abandoning the Kurds in Syria a few years ago, for example.
That’s very shocking. All of Elon’s other companies have such a strong reputation for reliable engineering. /s
I’ve been following Professor Phillips Obrien for analysis on this subject, and he largely shares your opinion.
He thinks that if the US really wanted Ukraine to win the administration would have been providing much more long-range weapons, and that they still could. Ukraine can still win, but it depends on their allies actually helping them do that.
Wait, they actually made that thing? I assumed the project would be canceled after everyone laughed at the reveal.
Not legal, unfortunately.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft–Hartley_Act
The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), adding new restrictions on union actions and designating new union-specific unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.
I was surprised to see this wasn’t an Onion headline.
Depends on how you define “state”. IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between “state” and “government”, where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a “government” to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government’s activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don’t comply.
Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I’m sure it will be fine.

This is the only experiment that comes up from Googling Manitoba UBI, and it doesn’t seem to match what you say. A study of about 2k people, definitely not the whole population, and this article lists quite a number of positive statements about it.
The problem is the definition of “work”. There’s lots of things a person can do that both require a lot of effort and produce real benefit to society that are difficult or impossible to make money from, and therefore they aren’t “work”. Raising children being the most obvious example.
Giving a for-profit corporation direct access to your brain sounds like a great idea with no downsides whatsoever. I love the thought of worrying about my brain implant having a glitch or facing planned obsolescence.
Edit: OH God I actually read the article and this thing connects to exterior devices. Imagine your brain literally being hacked.
