We'll be lucky if that's all. In the 70s and 80s inflation was in the double digits (peaked 14.8%). Under Carter and Reagan fed chair Volcker raised interest rates from 11.2% to over 20% for a time to combat it.

To pay his legal fees and enrich himself.

"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose a single vote"

He didn't do that stuff while president. It also didn't cost American taxpayers literal billions.

Based on astronaut desire, Ohio.

Has, though its been reduced as China doesn't really care about coal anymore which was the main trade export.

Also Russian support as NK artillery supplies and troops have been used in Ukraine. There was talk about the defect rate and it is a thing that will contribute to Ukraine difficulty after the war in mine/undetonated munitions-clearing.

Because Israel isn't that big of a country. The countries around them are held back in part because the support of the US and EU is just that big of a stick. Economic sanctions alone can be very rough and actual military support is insane. Not so great at making any good lasting changes but toppling the Iraqi government was very fast. US coalition invaded March 20, Baghdad fell in April 9, a new government was in place by September 3, and Saddam captured December 13. Obviously things are different nowadays with drones and population willingness to deal with the maimed/dead and domestic price increases.

Now if there's Chinese or Russian support then things may change. Russia is still tied up with Ukraine and China is relatively neutral because they don't have that much skin in that area yet.

Don't be unreasonable, then these companies might actually change how they operate.

These types of fines have been attempted before, perhaps most famously in the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit. And several times against oil company spills. However, the companies appeal until the victim(s) tire and accept a pittance. The Epstein class doesn't actually want to hurt these companies only to appear as if they will.

One of the economic reasons immigration is good.

Most people dont have access to distilled water or sterile containers and then would complain about the price.

Arguably recess being a thing in middle and high school would be a good thing, usually it is technically considered with lunch so if you eat fast enough or in class you can still play. In middle and high school a lot of their social lives become so phone-based nowadays between whatever school apps for hw, then tiktok, Instagram, etc.

You can see kids pick technology over the outdoors quite a lot if the adults let them. I'd even say a lot of them are lemmings now as the kids who were forced outdoors often didn't become the computer experts. Lots of bad parents and teachers who have given up as they have been lacking parent and admin support. "Timmy needs his phone, what if theres an emergency?", "I dont want to call through the office for something important", "I'll talk to my kid when I want to.", "Your fault if class isn't more entertaining than his phone.", etc.

Spend more time with the grandparents. Make more effort towards learning languages and music. Try and have fun with being a kid.

Of course do the get rich stuff when it comes up. Might be able to convince my parents to let me try buying Google or Apple stock and I could buy BTC on my own.

The hard part would be figuring out meeting my wife and having the kiddo. These sorts of "what ifs?" get a lot less fun with those considerations.
