Have you heard of public transit? Quite useful for getting places.

Or, hear me out, we could make a device that does all that without sticking the Incomprehensible Hallucination Demon into it.

I accidentally scheduled a vacation to Chicago during Mexican Independence Day, which apparently is a huge deal in Chicago. When I got there, the entire downtown area was completely shut down as Mexicans had been roaring up and down every street in trucks for the last two days. The Chicago PD had blockaded every exit off the highway within two miles of downtown to try and stop it. It didn’t- it just limited them to doing it on the highway breakdown lanes and the actual fucking grass medians.

The moral of the story? If the above is what the Mexican population of Chicago does for fun, I’d dread to see what they do in the face of an actual threat.

Not really, no.

Firearms and cars are the top two causes of death for children in the USA.

I have literally never seen anyone claim being a furry is just a hobby lmao. Yes, it’s sexual. Who gives a shit?

ITT: people who didn’t even glance at the study.

Quoting from the study:

“It is important to understand that the DLS represents a minimum floor for decent living. It does not represent a an aspirational standard and certainly does not represent a ceiling. However, it is also a level of welfare not currently achieved by the vast majority of people. A new paper by Hoffman et al finds that 96.5 percent of people in low- and middle-income countries are deprived of at least one DLS dimension…we can conclude that 6.4 billion people, more than 80% of the world’s population, are deprived of DLS.”

The authors are not suggesting that everyone be forced on DLS at gunpoint. They are suggesting an absolute bare minimum standard that the overwhelming majority of people on Earth do not yet even have. Quite obviously any excess production could and would be used to increase standard of living.
