Because the vested parties are trying to fuck up the world.
And no, I don't mean big tech.
The cbc has repeatedly produced false news stories and "investigations", but you're too stupid to know it's false.
CBC is corrupt as f.
On another forum a user recently complained because someone had edited their question on Stack Overflow. The final question no longer represented what they were asking about and expressed distain for the edit; someone else on the forums who has enough editing powers in Stack Overflow to do such then justified it. Or tried to.
Editing a users question as if it was the original question they asked is NOT ok.
Refreshing the question and answering that version of it may be useful, but sometimes obliterates the subtleties that the original question is based on.
The arrogance of SO is extreme.
Let me know how you verify that without severely intruding on everybody.

Ultra-modern in 80s/90s means: useless in 2025.
"Studies show"...
While this can be true, if you go find those studies you'll see it listing the criteria for which it isn't universally true; or toss the study because it's garbage.
This particular street won't see an increase in pedestrian traffic via the bus route, it'll be speeding past these businesses like they weren't even there.
Within 3 years it'll be a ghost town of a street with all but 1 or 2 businesses gone; some corporatatiin or billionaire will then buy it up and replace it with something else and get transit to have a stop there as part of his deal with city hall.
Basically, it's how to buy up property for pennies on the dollar 101.
Chances are they were imperfect, your chance of noticing certain types of mistakes is related to how engaged you are with the material as presented. I've seen PowerPoijt slides presented by a good presenter, with errors all over them, but nobody really noticed until it was explicitly pointed out.
If you're not engaging with the material, or you're looking to find fault, you'll notice things like that significantly more than others.
If the professor is particularly sloppy with the materials then there's every reason to complain, if nothing else it is a distraction from the materials.
Too many people misunderstand what education is for, and what they are intended to get out of it.
So many fellow students of mine complained about the course we took at college because they'd never use ______. They all seemed to miss that nobody knew which materials we would actually use, so it was overly broad to be mined for gold when we knew where we were going with it.
Students are ignorant. It's in their nature.
Firefox has had enough money at various points in time to have invested it into a trust and to pay out from annuities to support the entire development team for the indefinite future lasting decades at a minimum.
Mozilla foundation has burned money left and right on frivolous adventures having little or nothing to do with Firefox.
I just used an AI for re-skilling and it's helped immensely with a project of mine.
With a bit of skill and the right direction it's not overly difficult to get good results.
YMMV.
He's doing it for the attention you dumb fucking morons.
And you gave it to him.
This is called diplomacy.
China is entirely prepared to out the US dirty laundry.
They (the US) might want to consider what's in the laundry basket.
No, it doesn't.
It's definitive in nature, it's a specific amount for a specific period of time. The funds weren't enough in the local economy to drive inflation, because the same size was too small to do so. It won't drive people to abandon work because after the term of the study they need to have decent jobs to keep living. The temporary nature also limits the increase in their standard of living spending, as upgrading their living situation would be a problem at the end of the term.
These would be different if it actually were UBI.
This is a deflation without evidence.
UBI that's dependant on someone's existing income isn't UBI either.
Few people will quit a job for a temporary income either. Studies like this are generally very skewed when looked at for the finer details.
