Because this is a global pandemic. The virus has to be stamped out everywhere, that's how this thing works. If the "third world" is left unvaccined, the virus will keep spreading and mutating there, and new waves of disease will keep coming to us too.

Plenty of people have survived bullets and other kinds of high velocity objects through the brain, including an iron bar propelled by gunpowder. For more certainty, I'd suggest an explosive collar.

The reason employers want everyone to be on social media: They can use it to gather information about you that would be illegal or inappropriate to ask in a job interview.

Very simple:

-You don't get a nail in with a screwdriver

-You can't solve social problems with technical solutions. The money would be better spent on studying conflict resolution and teaching it to the cops.

In my experience, the less cops around, the more peaceful the demonstration. If the cops are so damned worried about their security, then stay the hell out of people's way!
