Nothing wrong in their to help.

But if you only help based on the colour of the skin... That's a little bit racist.

Also, as far as I know there is not persecution in South Africa. Trump used photos from the wrong conflict. And there are really bad things happening in Africa... but not to white people

Note that, as anybody, the Catholic Church may have is bias.

For example. Their dualist view of the world makes them see AI as something very different from human intelligence. So, without having read it, the church may negate that it could be at human level. A few years ago that would negate that computers could be creative because they do not have a soul.

Anyway, kudos for focussing on the important issues and the impact on human.(And less on sex)

Can you lobby to make Trump become not Trump?

Ethic cleansing is something much worse when that race you are "cleansing" is already living there (Israel removing Palestinian from Gaza)

The accusations is just racism. The fact that Trump gave extra fast visas to white South Afrikaans makes you think that there were some racial reasoning there.

In the last decades the whole world is more global.

DOGE was the culture of let's do things fast!!

Does this administration care to much about the law? A judge can rule something but they mostly keep doing the same thing.

Not to mention the supreme court that is willing to let this happen.

The weapons flow from USA doesn't help.

US can afford to have militarized police with armoured cars. But the combination of drugs, poverty and weapons is very dangerous

And it is not as if he was great at acting or as martial artist.

Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan were in a completely different league.

What really called my attention is the personality change after transplants. I am not super sure about how good the science is.

Also. We are very neuro-centric, but the system also had all type of hormones and other chemical messages affecting it.

You need US dollars because you have with US. Tarrifs hurt the need for dollars.

Having dollars was useful to trade with US. But the trade has been reduced by tariffs.

Also. Any attack to the independence of the federal reserve damages whee vale of the dollar

But that transferred very sensitive data to a third party without anonymising the amount.

Just by replacing the email with a random anonymizedAccountId the impact would have been reduced from disaster to who cares. This was bad design from the start.

We may see some interesting news in a few days.

That wasn't just automating... That was hiding the features from the manuals to avoid having to re train the flight crews.

They can hide wealth (at their own risk) but it prevent them from extracting money from the country:

The cannot own houses, factories, monopolistic contracts o media. It makes harder to influence politics ( in a legal way).

The housing issue is specially important because city space is limited and the demand is very inelastic

Just by forcing to compensate passengers accordingly they would start to care more.

What is the lost productivity for having so many people waiting on airports?

But that is consumer protection regulation and it is not going to happen in America in a few years
