It seems that the top 5% globally are above the limit. If you live in Western Europe or the US, that's significantly more than half of the population.

Usually it's about having permanent access to a lawyer to cover your legal ass before you get caught, as that's where the best legal loopholes are, and about what laws were broken. GoFundMe campaigns are usually for laws affecting mostly the poor, which tend to be much harsher and broader than the laws that rich people usually break.

I had never heard about them before. TLDR, the highlights are:

  • Hedge funds
  • Sending data of motel guests to ICE
  • Child labour
  • Deflorestation of the Amazon

Nice company /s

AFAIK the number of fatal incidents involving kinder eggs is in the single digits in the last 35 years and they were caused by the toys inside of the egg not the plastic egg itself.

Jesus fuking upside down Christ!

Do we need to unleash the emus to cull the Australians population again?

Someone should do a game where you need to guess if someone was said by a Drug Cartel boss or Sam Altman.

I'm not a lawyer, but, if this doesn't break anti-circumvention laws everywhere, they need to be rewriten ASAP.

From UNICEF's Children's Version/TLDR the Convention on the Rights of the Child:

  1. Best interests of the child

When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. All adults should do what is best for children. Governments should make sure children are protected and looked after by their parents, or by other people when this is needed. Governments should make sure that people and places responsible for looking after children are doing a good job.

  1. Family guidance as children develop

Governments should let families and communities guide their children so that, as they grow up, they learn to use their rights in the best way. The more children grow, the less guidance they will need.

(emphasis mine)

  1. Protection from violence

Governments must protect children from violence, abuse and being neglected by anyone who looks after them.

This, plus all the rights that state that the default should be children being raised by their families, means what you are saying is literal international law everywhere except the US (though it's a application is still... frankly non existent in most of the world)

And the next measure is to tell women to wear chastity belts to stop rapes. /s

said the Lords was “doing the bidding of bad bosses” and ought to “get out of the way” of the plans.

I think someone didn't notice who the "lords" are yet.

Even in TOS the Klingons weren't as flat as orcs are in LOTR.

Roddenberry always tried to make sure their motivations made them "heroes in their own story", while Tolkien wrote orcs as evil by nature.

France, UK, and Germany have the biggest communities (100k plus). Of this France has the biggest (440k and 2.8% of the population), but at least my perception is that it's also the unsafest country in western Europe for Jewish people right now - I would advice you to reach out to Jewish organisations in Europe to get an accurate picture on this point.

Hungary comes next, but I wouldn't recommend the country to anyone that self defines as liberal or progressive.

I think Netherlands and Belgium also have relatively big communities in the big cities.

I think all European countries have synagogue, but some have pretty small communities.
