Sir, this is ~~a retirement home~~ congress. They might break a hip.

This seems like satire, but it also sounds true.

It is vital that the ~~peasants~~ consumers use our AI to keep the ~~Lords'~~ Shareholders' happy.

hmmm

The way I read it you don''t have to be out for more than 48 hours. It's really not phrased very clearly though.

If you cannot claim other exemptions because you have not been out of the country for at least 48 hours, you may still bring back $200 worth of items free of duty and tax.

It's the billionaires and their special interests lobbyists who keep the politicians in their seat. They have their lobbyists threaten and browbeat the politicians with things such as attack ads and primary challengers to keep them working in their interests. Since the 1970s legislative transparency laws went into effect, The lobbyists can sit in on legislative committees to make sure the politicians are voting and speaking in their interests and not in the interests of the public.

The researchers at https://congressionalresearch.org/ claim that legislative transparency laws are root cause of many modern issues, like inequality, that the US is dealing with because they force politicians to work against the public interest and for the billionaires and their lobbyists.

Ah yes, the coloring on protestors' signs, this is worse than a president wearing a tan suit. I'm so triggered.

Just speculating, but maybe it does something like where it checks the image against a CSAM database or something similar, so only images flagged in some government database get blurred.

Edit: or more likely it's still in the testing stage and has to be enabled either by google or through some obscure setting.

It works that way for electric cars. You won't find many BYD electric cars in the US, yet they are the top-selling battery electric vehicle manufacturer worldwide. Only thing stopping them from doing the same with this, is that it's a tensy bit tougher to gatekeep information than a car.

I'd guess it's because of the shape of the car structure. In a pickup bed the blast goes up. But if it was in a car or suv all the energy would go horizontally out the windows since there's a roof stopping it from going up.

The next gen's shot:

Of course, What is more humanitarian than defending the head of a genocidal colonial regime? It is common knowledge that the most moral way to deal with undesirables is to kill them. Democracies are so great that they get at least three free genocide passes.
