No, he’s saying it makes us poor feel better hearing stories that generational wealth doesn’t last. It feels _just_, almost analogous to karma. But it’s not really true.

The double underscore error was made on the subpoena/request to Kik, and may not have appeared in the evidence at all.

If the request was made before the defendant was charged, it’s entirely possible that the defendant’s lawyer was not given that document until it was expressly requested.

What does it mean for a medic to “be Hezbollah” in this context?

Are you saying they are employed medics of the organisation? Party members? Combatants?

What you’re missing, in your relentless focus on mostly abstract economic measurements, is that the measures of individual success and happiness are going down. People on average, are less able to afford to buy homes, raise children and pay for health care.

Kids whose parents choose to restrict will suffer social consequences vs parents who don’t.

The whole point of the law is to reduce the social harm caused by social media.

> you're in a city, what did you expect? If you want to spend time walking outside drive to one of the many National Parks

Is this a joke? I hope this is a joke and I’ve misunderstood it.

Cities are not synonymous with cars. There are lots of walkable cities in the world. Driving to a place where you can walk is a very strange inversion of the norm.
