In the US, to get what we deserve we've been killing businessmen and politicians since before the country was formed. Just a few years ago a whole mob of idiots tried to kill our Congress.

Remember that you're not crazy for or alone in wanting that privacy. If I saw you shooting them out with a pellet gun then no, I didn't.

One might also note that in that context "What is Caesar's" could be responded to with "nothing."

The New Testament is mostly Jesus then Paul repeatedly telling everyone with increasing amounts of frustration,

Reason from principles to situation for yourselves.

unprovoked violent threat; victim so calloused to violence they still communicate simply and honestly; assailant sparing the innocent and guiding them to a safer area

Is this an american day to day occurance?

It's pretty much every encounter I've ever had with a gang member.

I've had his role a couple times on a smaller scale. My job was to make one or two decisions per day, communicate the ideology of why to subordinates, and hold them accountable. I spent tens of hours reasoning why and how, then ten minutes doing the work.

Elon skips the reasoning part. He just spends a few minutes per day communicating nonsense. My favorite line so far is, "We coup who we want."

I think I hear about a school shooting about once every two or three months. And, I believe underreporting at a national level paired with myself not having time to keep up means that I hear about roughly one in every hundred shootings.

Typically there's about 180 days of school per year.

Crunching some vague math, my guess seems preposterous: ~340 school shootings in 2024. That's almost two per day. But, the more I thought about it the less preposterous it seemed.

TL;DR - My guess is a seemingly preposterous 340 school shootings in 2024, or almost 2 per school day.

It's quite difficult to emigrate unless one has significant fiscal privilege or is already politically and culturally connected to another country.

If you're willing then please share why you chose where and how you were able to effect it.
