Whoa Whoa.

The story of Noah's Ark is not about saving animals. It is about surviving a calamity that one saw coming, AND NOT saving more of humanity. This way one and their children can become insanely wealthy, and nearly the only humans.

When one needed an elephant, where did they go? To Noah. Need a chicken? Noah! Need help due to your house washing away, killing you and your family? That's right, Noah!

Houses are going to have to be built much more defensively. At this point anyone could have gas poured on their home and lit up, or have fake police knock and shoot.

What? Are you suggesting a "fascist tyranny" is better than other kinds of tyranny?

Invading Canada would be a quagmire and a terrible idea.

  • Canadians look just like US Americans.
  • Canada is huge and outside of a few cities is mostly empty.
  • Lots of families are spread across both sides of the boarder. Bombing Canadian cities would cause a rebellion within the USA.
  • The boarder is huge and nearly impossible to secure. Canadian rebels could easily slip into the USA to carry about bombings.
  • Canadian sleeper cells are already in place. (Over 800K Canadians are known to live in the USA.)

Any guesses as to how much money would be in the pool if every person in your country paid into a single pool for automotive insurance? I bet that if such a pool existed, then there would be a lot of motivation to use that money to reduce the risk of paying out. Which makes me wonder if public transit is better in countries with national health insurance as a result of the national health insurance.

The USA has ~23 million millionaire households. So many people could do that.

It seems that one can pay a percentage of the bond amount as an annual fee, avoiding having to put up the fully amount. I have no idea if that is a good idea, and I have no finished reading the link I posted.

When would some want to do this over having normal liability insurance? Maybe if they drove very little.

Have to? No.

Should you? Yes. The theatrics really liven up the day.

Jesus would be rolling over in his grave, except he left that and is not there.

I fully expect OpenAI and the others are already doing this. And this is why the USA wants to keep China from developing better AI. Not for better AI, but to keep spying on corporate secrets within the USA.

I did those as well. That and not using personal equipment.

Then at one company, we could use personal equipment. And accepting gifts was suddenly okay. And their training did NOT say I could not buy potential clients sex workers.

I never had the opportunity to clarify with HR...

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Matthew 25:35-40
