Only if they come from Wink, Winkler County, Texas. Otherwise they are just sparkling eyelead carrier and receiver.

The rest of the story from Wikipedia:

During the raid, Panther Mark Clark was also killed and several others were seriously wounded. In January 1970, the Cook County Coroner held an inquest; the coroner's jury concluded that Hampton's and Clark's deaths were justifiable homicides.[14][15][16][17]

A civil lawsuit for wrongful death was later filed on behalf of the survivors and the relatives of Hampton and Clark.[18] It was resolved in 1982 by a settlement of $1.85 million (equivalent to $6.03 million in 2024); the U.S. federal government, Cook County, and the City of Chicago each paid one-third to a group of nine plaintiffs. Given revelations about the illegal COINTELPRO program and documents associated with the killings, many scholars now consider Hampton's death, at age 21, a deliberate assassination at the FBI's initiative. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Hampton

Is it a sarcastic post? Internet was not safer before, it's just much more accessible to kids nowadays, the good and the bad, thanks to wireless connections, small portable computers and easy UIs.

I wonder what will happen to the collaboration between American GE and French Safran that makes the CFM under Trump.

French multinational Safran is still making engines for airliners (with GE), Rafale fighters and Ariane rockets (with Airbus).

It's sarcastically cringe for fun.

I guess this means your parents are from China too? If yes, then they grew up in a country were demonstrating against the government gets you rolled over by tanks. They have been taught that politics is not something for the people, the party takes care of it for them and they should just focus on being good hard working citizens. So, I would think their behavior is a mix of fearing for your life, which they value way more than politics, and an ingrained lack of faith in the people being able to change politics.
Consider this bias and make your personal choice, especially if you're legally an adult.

It's easier to delete an account than avoiding conscription and bombs. The mental health impact of social network is bad, but not comparable to world war times.

Yeah, EU will get a boost from it too.

China is clearly going to win this part, they are not adding tariffs on the rest of the world like Trump is doing, they will win market shares because of this. Trump's policies are actually speeding up the rise of China as the first power on many points: international free trade, renewable energies and brain drain, for example.

There are a lot of species that we made disappear in the last 150 years that could be beneficial to restoring current ecosystems.

Still better than being a young adult in the 1910' or the 1940', so far.
