So, the answer is basically "Because the city government decided they didn't want pedestrians to die, and acted accordingly."

Also important to note that Ukraine's current fighters are obsolete and inferior to their opponents, so switching to an aircraft that is roughly equal to Russia's is a huge improvement.

Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I'm sure it will be fine.

I had the same question, so for anyone who doesn't want to dig through the article:

To defend its 2017 repeal of net neutrality rules, the Pai FCC argued that broadband isn't a telecommunications service because Internet providers also offer DNS (Domain Name System) services and caching as part of the broadband package. A judge said the Pai FCC was entitled to deference on this opinion—even if it didn't make a lot of sense.

Basically, Trump's lackeys legally classified broadband as an "information service" to screw the American people and the question is whether the Supreme Court will go along with this blatant nonsense.

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.

Every single study on UBI finds that it is a good idea that benefits both the recipients and society as a whole, but because it contradicts the dominant ideology it can't be allowed to happen.

Killing people is apparently 100% legal in the US as long as you use a car to do it.

They actually used AoE2, fwiw. It's debatable whether the game was actually helpful when they also ran tests with actual ants or if they're just (very successfully) using the gimmick for publicity.

The most common cause of their anxiety — the future.

Completely reasonable. I'm a Millenial and I also have a lot of anxiety about the future. Previous generations screwed us all really hard.
