No, because they are greedy (they also have good relations, but one thing breeds the other and it becomes circular logic). If you want to buy shit from Europe, for example, you would consider arming them with weapons (if there is any threat whatsoever). Cos you know, the best deterrent from war is having nukes and a standing army powerful enough so it isn't "worth it" to attack to gain an economical benefit. People rarely do good things' cos they themselves are good (although it happens obv), instead they do it cos it's worth it (or perceived to be worth it anyway).
Also, human motivations are complex, so US could be "partly" doing it believing it is ultimately the right thing to do, is it 0.0001% of motivation or 40%,who the fuck knows(probably mainly greed though).

Most of the organizations that we looked at wanted to know what kind of participation we had in church. On top of that they would do regular visits and wellness checks. They also would look extensively at your background and financial history.

Anyone under 3 was our original goal. IVF with shitty insurance was cheaper and easier

Russia fuels the corruption in neighboring countries to weaken them and expand their own influence. Putin's territorial ambitions clearly extend beyond Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova.

Where is God? Cases like this are what make me an agnostic, bordering on atheist.

would you mind sharing what was invasive about the adoption process? knowing america i definitely don’t doubt what you say but as someone who has considered adoption in the future (cannot have bio children), i’m really curious

Lithium batteries have been around since the 70s. Chevy's EV1 in the 90s used a lead acid battery that have it a range of 60 miles. Which is still 10 miles shy of the average commute.
All in all this argument is moot anyway. No one knows if the industry would have survived, grown faster or slower because it was shuttered so quickly, or even stuck around. Chevy made sure no one would be able to keep their EV1 and they literally put them all out to a parking lot to rust.
I will say this about the market though. Without Toyota and the Prius I think Tesla wouldn't have came along as soon or been as successful. If Chevy would have pivoted from strictly EV to a hybrid they would have taken the market from Toyota and would have been way better off from it. But this is all just Monday morning quarterbacking to be honest.

One of the victims states that the abuser is lying about his mobility issues and long term health issues and that he’s more mobile than he appears publicly.

Adopting a newborn?

Hopefully the scientists won't kill this one in their attempts to confirm that.

So America funds them 150 in 1year ( 5 bill for humanitarian) because they are good guys who always do the good thing in international conflicts?

How is it that CPS seems to have plenty of resources to occasionally ruin parents’ lives for letting their kids walk a quarter mile by themselves to a park in a safe neighborhood. And then they do nothing in egregious cases like this.

Can we talk about the 2019 incident? Did anybody follow up in those 8 CPS visits?

They’re over age 18. The fourth-eldest is the one who called and he was about to turn 18.

My God this is disgusting.
We have a 5 year old little girl. My wife became chronically ill about a year after she gave birth. Turns out it was probably the pregnancy that caused it. It’s ruined her life. She can’t work and gets fatigued very easily. Obviously more kids are off the table.
I never wanted kids until I found out she was pregnant. Even then it took some time for me to warm to it. Now I can’t imagine a day without her. I want more but making them is not an option. Adoption would be our only recourse.
I’ve always heard about how difficult, time consuming, and expensive adoption can be, but then you see stories like this. How does this sick fuck get entrusted with the lives of, not just children, but the most vulnerable children who need stable guidance from a normal adult. Not someone using it to build a damn harem. Disgusting
