That’s how subsistence farmers were dragged into the market economy. Colonists liked doing that.
But this was also done in the past for military campaigns. Provisioning an army is hard work. It’s easier if soldiers can buy stuff with gold along the way and the king demanding the gold back from the population. It’s the more realistic way currency use formed instead of the “suppose we want to barter” story. Villagers not going along with the program got torched.
You know how it goes. Fire people and assume AI is better next quarter. If it doesn’t work out, it’s also a problem for next quarter.
Yeah, it usually means overstaffed with too expensive workers.

No, he’s just going to try to sabotage the voting in some way. Lots of institutions are already filled with henchmen and loyalists. The people don’t rise up too much and ICE can suppress the ones that do protest. And it’s just the dictator thing to do.
USA’s military industrial complex has focused on high profit complex machines, with rare earth elements that came from China. The complexity doesn’t help with the churning. And China isn’t exporting the elements anymore. Who knew that starting a trade war would have consequences. Setting up replacements is going to limit production for a long time.
“diminish the status” of marriage
Maybe, but the number of marriages is diminishing for sure.
Now watch the flat earth documentary.
“It’s no issue, Mr. President. Things happen. Astronauts use diapers too. We just call il to them maximum absorbency garment.”
