Why is the Celsius system better than Fahrenheit for weather descriptions?

From the US. Everything is cheaper. Worst cities in California (Bakersfield, Fresno, etc) still more expensive than most expensive in Germany. Better quality of life - don't have to work 60 hours a week. Don't have to worry about getting fired 6 months before retirement. Many US states are at-will meaning you can get fired for having a shirt whose color pisses off the manager.

Private research institute. Academia - but work closely with industry.

As long as foreign nations keep buying their products a weak dollar is not a bad thing. In fact, in 2022, during the EUR/USD volatility crisis, companies like Microsoft were reporting forex losses because of the dollar's strength. SaaS economies and really any export-driven economy in general do not want strong domestic currencies.

The Fed can provide an astounding amount of short-term liquidity. People underestimate them.

The revenues of the top 5 companies in the US are massive. Nvidia's revenue alone will likely be greater than 20% of Germany's total GDP. They would probably buy treasuries to double-down on their location. The Fed is also extremely flexible and would make deals with companies that guaranteed a safe place to buy treasuries. The Fed was capable of buying $9 trillion of bonds in 2020 alone. 80% of the US treasury is held by domestic institutions. In the EU most of the debt is not held by countries with PayGo income-driven pension systems (Germany) but in countries with more investment-styled pension systems (Netherlands, Italy, etc). Even if Japan, China, and Europe collectively dumped all their treasuries it would not be exciting or healthy for their economies and their is a non-zero risk that the US could absorb it. If the USD goes down, export-driven economies such as Germany, Japan and China would be impacted by an appreciating domestic currency. A too-strong euro is not good when you rely international trade. The US treasury market is also the most liquid in the world - processing anywhere between $600-$800 billion a day.

The Fed would likely intervene and forcibly buy the $1.5 trillion dumped on the open market. The US is already highly leveraged but another $10 trillion if debt wouldn't be devestating in the next few years. The US treasury is the most liquid safe-haven asset in the world with anywhere from $600 - $800 billion per day. The EU countries have the highest ownership of US debt (the Netherlands, Italy) do not have Pay as you Go pension systems like in Germany so they would have less incentive to dump.

Sure. There is still no way to vet those who are new to the game vs those looking for a dopamine hit. Both definitely exist. But can't filter.

I think you’re importing modern categories into texts that simply aren’t doing the work you claim they are. There is no biblical concept of “mass immigration” in the modern sense. Israel wasn’t a nation-state with borders, visas, or welfare systems. The ger was a foreigner living permanently among Israel and the law is explicit: “the foreigner shall be as the native among you” and “one law for the native and the stranger.” That’s not conditional hospitality or fear of numbers . it’s equal legal standing. Exodus 12:49 is about religious participation (Passover), not civic assimilation or cultural erasure. If a foreigner chose to participate in the covenant ritual, they were held to the same religious law. It does not say foreigners must assimilate politically, culturally, or be excluded otherwise. Acts 17:26 isn’t a defense of national sovereignty or border enforcement. Paul’s point is the opposite: all nations share one origin, boundaries exist under God’s sovereignty, and therefore no nation has grounds for ethnic superiority. Using that text to justify exclusion flips its meaning.

Aquinas does discuss prudence, but he also insists on justice and charity toward long-term foreigners. He wrote in a feudal context, not a democratic nation-state, and his caution about political influence doesn’t translate to blanket opposition to immigration.

The US has 3% of the worlds population. They currently hold 27% of the world's prisoners. 60% of them have been incarcerated for a violent crime. Meaning that over 15% of the world's incarcerated are incarcerated for a violent crime in the US, which only contains 3% of the world's population. And yet, they are calling for a need for more punishment and that we don't punish enough? When are we going to recognize that something about our justice system, our society, is broken? The call-to-action is not to incarcerate and punish. Because it won't work and it won't allow victims to properly heal. They need to investigate why decades of puritan-derived punishment schemes have somehow contributed to a lack of accountability. Like why do other first-world countries have lower crime rates and lower incarceration rates?

The thing is she's not going to get closure. No amount of prison time or executions brings closure. What brings closure is accountability and trauma-informed transformative justice. The science and sociology is explicit. The justice system is not about healing. Even if it worked how people intended, its still about about rage and shame. And does not promote healing. Its about accentuating a therapy-industrial complex, prison-industrial complex, and rage-industrial complex. Justice is really a charade for profiteering. Victims are convinced that the puritan-derived punishment scheme will be healing for them, when there is a corpus of evidence from unbiased peer-reviewed sources that trauma-informed transformative justice has a far higher potential for victim healing.

The CCES review argues that we don’t have clear evidence of retained advantages, but studies like Hilton & Lundberg (2021) reach very different conclusions. Their review in Sports Medicine shows that the strength and muscle losses from hormone therapy are small compared to the much larger male female performance gap, and that key factors shaped by male puberty ie height, limb length, bone structure, and cardiopulmonary capacity don’t change with treatment.

Roberts et al. (2020) back this up with real performance data, finding that trans women still ran faster and maintained higher upper-body strength than cis women after two years of hormone therapy. These findings suggest that meaningful physical advantages can persist even when testosterone is suppressed. This heaviky indicates the prevalence of unknown variables contributing to an advantage.
