You being unable to trust the government is not evidence of wrongdoing.

The military has never had to share its intelligence with civilians and it's not going to start now just to ease your mind.

Literally nobody is demanding Ukraine prove its targets are actually part of the Russian military before striking them.

It's not cowardly at all because the person making the decision would not be putting themselves in danger either way.

It's just pragmatic.

No having the navy board the boats would be way worse because it would put US servicemen in danger. Bombing the boats from a safe distance is by far the best way to deal with this problem.

Is that really the best title the authors could come up with?

Up next: "Lawn mowers are good at cutting grass until they aren't"

Do you also think it's hypocritical that the Dallas Cowboys try to sack the other team's quarterback even though they don't want their own quarterback sacked?

Why would the US choose to cede authority to the ICC here? If the US wishes to discipline its service members, they still can and do. Under no circumstances should any country allow a foreign entity to decide what its military can and cannot do.

For layoffs like this, employers typically give out two months of severance, so I'm not sure what you're whining about.

Of course if you're willing to burn bridges with your employer, there's nothing stopping you from quitting immediately. Have at it.

If they picked any of the conferences based on the gender of the attendees, then they were pretty obviously discriminating based on a protected characteristic and should face legal ramifications for it.

I have no idea what point you think you're making, but this happens all the time. Do you really think you should be obligated to let strangers buy into your private business?

Faster commutes and less wasted energy. This is obvious to anyone even moderately intelligent.

That's not the choice though. The bureaucrats are getting paid either way.

The choice is whether or not you want your taxes raised by a small amount so that other people can live their dreams while you sit in a cubicle for 40 years.

Most surveys can't even get 97% of respondents to agree that terrorism is wrong.

The government is just blatantly lying about these results. There is simply no way 97% of the population (most of whom pay into this system yet receive nothing from it) supports this.

> Many people people dealing with burnout, mental or physical problems, could ease up and work part time.

This is precisely why UBI (also known as socialism) is unsustainable. Most people don't want to work. If you disincentivize them from working, many of them will stop. And then there will not be enough taxpayers to support the government handouts anymore.

Do you really think it would be informing society if news stations constantly reported the number of cancer deaths that occurred in the last day?

There's nothing stopping you from starting your own non-profit health insurance company. If greedy health insurance companies are really the root of the problem, you should be able to out-compete them fairly easily.
