That’s great. Are they actually going to do anything about it?

Actually the battle lines have hardly moved at all since Ukraine withdrew from Avdiivka.

Great. That always works out well. /s
I’m not holding my breath. The idea that work=morality is too strong here. People working fewer hours would be seen as laziness no matter how much sense it makes.
I’m always skeptical of any story about a bill being submitted. There’s a lot of steps between that and it even getting a vote. Is this really newsworthy? Let me know if it gets through committee, then I’ll care.
Everyone knows pro wrestling is all staged performances but I’ve never heard that said of boxing. As far as I know those are real.
I guess they could shoot the airliner down if it starts flying toward any towers.
Find a way to work a small amount of exercise into your daily routine. Walk places instead of driving, do some jumping jacks in the morning or before bed, something simple that you can get yourself to do without much stress or planning. If you do it consistently, even 10-20 minutes of exercise a day can make a big difference in the long run.
We have it the same as you. I never really gave it any thought.
Google “Pentagon audit” to learn more!
I’m honestly surprised he’s still alive. I know executions aren’t legal in Norway, but I would have thought that someone would have killed him by now.
Encouraging Jews to leave “voluntarily” was Hitler’s first step, too. Then when most people don’t want to leave their homes, you justify your escalation by saying you gave them a chance.
Depends on how you define “state”. IIRC, Marx drew a distinction between “state” and “government”, where the former is all the coercive institutions (cops, prisons, courts, etc). In this framework, you need a “government” to do the things you refer to, but participation in that government’s activities should be voluntary, without the threat of armed government agents showing up at your door if you don’t comply.
Oh well, just keep giving them more bombs. I’m sure it will be fine.

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.
The US economy (and much of the rest of the world) actually went into recession after ww1. Then after ww2 you have to consider that the US was one of the very few industrialized countries that didn’t get its cities blown up. The war was ‘good’ for the US mostly because it was much worse for everyone else.
Okay that’s something. I’d like more, obviously, but it’s nice to hear.
