The parents pay taxes that go to that program, so they are. Heaven forbid we spend taxes on children instead of checks notes military industrial complex or giving wall street another bail out or telling parents and doctors the state knows better about what medical treatment your children need.

I agree w your sentiment on regular citizens, rehab and 2nd chances. However this is leadership of a country, a hard position to prove wrongdoing and one where, like most Corp jobs, one would not be afforded a second chance.

His charges were all waived because the judge who charged him was corrupt. Lula was never corrupt

Some people believe you should be worth a good goddamn at a worthwhile skill to make you worth paying anything at all.

Sounds like an internal USA problem, that's not how we do things in Europe. Why should we reduce our beef consumption because the USA has dodgy practices?
Not that reducing meat consumption is a bad idea in general of course, I just don't see why we should change our diet because of something the USA does to itself. We don't import USA beef.

>He already went to jail for being corrupt. lol
So, he served his time for his crime and rendered society. What's the problem?
Do you think that people who have been to prison should remain there forever? Does your nation not have a judicial system that understands rehabilitory incarceration is the most beneficial to society, limiting reoffending and lowering many other crime rates, improving GDP through a larger workforce and a smaller judicial footprint, and has a positive effect on the well-being and happiness of citizenry, as well as aiding in reduction of class divides?
If your point is that a person that was convicted of corruption may reoffend, I understand your concern. But, he was released, if he reoffends then the blame is on the system that didn't positively work to reform him, the system that also incorrectly judged that he was no longer at notable risk of reoffending.
It's easy to blame the criminal, and they aren't exactly innocent, but it's not so easy to realise that a lot of criminal activity, especially that of ex-convicts, is caused by a deeply flawed criminal justice system. Usually one that seeks to heavily punish and degrade prisoners, rather than reform and reintegrate.
If we can't accept a person back into society after they have served their time in prison and been released, why not just execute all prisoners instead of incarcerating them in the first place? If you've already decided they will never be allowed to re-enter society, why torture them with hope, and waste national time and money? Why not just execute criminals on the spot, and save time?
This is a dangerous way to look at things. We must not dehumanise our fellow citizens, even those who have committed crimes.

Don't worry though, they talked to everyone in each city and not just the type of people they're predisposed to meet.

Two things:
Under several leaders they have made press on satellite foliage coverage changes being positive without adjusting for a baseline or ground conditions.
The last time this guy was in power the first numbers from the next guy indicated a pretty unrealistic rate of change as soon as he was gone. The two most simple explanations are the either the books were cooked or the deforestation was well under way the last time he was in power, he was looking the other way and the work wasn't visible to satellites yet.

Yea because none of these "health agencies" have ever been influenced or compromised by outside entities. I can easily cut and paste from medical journals about how excessive flouride amounts impact other vital organs, Then I can cut and paste news articles about proven FDA corruption. So calm yourself
I asked if the filter removes fluoride, I didn't ask for a sermon from a know-nothing.

I completely agree with that. But it's off topic. If you can't feed kids, should you have them?
Regardless of what you should have. Based on what you do have. Some people believe if you cannot feed kids, you should not have kids.

Man if only there was an option to help in case of an accidental pregnancy, too bad that's space magic. Also it's not like this nation has gone through 4 once in a generation financial crisises in the last 30 years. Along with record inflation and wage stagnation.
Those parents should have realized 12 years ago that in 10 years a global pandemic would make basic goods go up over 50% for 2 years.
