This is textbook “whataboutism” where instead of responding to the points being made you switch out to an attack on an opponent who has done something similar in the past. If you are of the opinion that the US government’s past behaviour ha

They do face liability for their own misdeeds. The problem is that “their own” is very hard to isolate.

No, you have you know the traps and specifically you have to know your own biases and this only comes with failure, thus experience. Show me a mid-level engineer and I will show you someone busy walking straight into a trap.

Yes but US counties are part of the state government. Roughly speaking city governments are independent and the county is not “above” it (technically it’s not quite that simple). A classic edge-case where I live is that San Francisco is bot

US cities boomed in the 20th century and are geographically large, with large infrastructure. The gradual collapse of industry has led to such cities emptying out to the suburbs beyond a city’s relatively tight administrative boundary, part

But the new paid videos are ad-free, so the user would no longer be offering anything monetizable. A company offering free, ad-free video streaming does not turn a profit.

If you think that Queen Victoria, head of the largest empire the world has ever seen and who purchased Balmoral, got rich by skimping on taxes, then I’d recommend taking some time to read a book or two.
