Drones for active shooters in schools… well I’m in favor of anything that improves response time and saves lives BUT it does not solve the problem. People are still likely to get hurt and children traumatized. When a plane crashes, we don’t give passengers parachutes we figure out what went wrong and FIX IT. Yes, when it comes to school shooting it gets more complicated because it involves the human factor. And humans are f-Ing complicated. Let’s start by identifying individuals who need help and actually providing mental health services and gun laws that make sense.

Drone technology - gee, what could possibly go wrong - lol

Your article reminds me of Steve Bannon on TV trying to explain POV. He said look at light shinning on a cylinder. It casts a circle shadow and a rectangle shadow and said that’s different POV. However he failed to say that in truth it was a cylinder neither a circle or a rectangle. Thus, the truth escaped him and he saw a shadow and created propaganda.

It seems like Hegseth and Trump prefer to go with guns a’blazing, then figure out later who they killed and why! They are kind of doing the same in the Middle East now and it is getting them nowhere. Do you think they will ever learn that there are better ways to do things, even if they take longer.

Drones and AI instead of gun control. We are a lost civilization.

Olivia:

Thank you!

Anent your No 3 above.

Those appalling videos of small boats being destroyed by aerial bombing were primarily produced (with dramatic music sound tracks) for the entertainment of the current obnoxious occupant.

That's how far we have sunk!

"We’ve reached a point where a single billionaire can function almost like a national political party, and it’s become clear that modern campaigns aren’t won just by candidates anymore. They’re powered by turnout operations, sophisticated data, digital advertising, and the money to build them. Money doesn’t guarantee victory. We’ve all seen well-funded campaigns lose. However, it absolutely changes who gets organized, who gets contacted, and who shows up to vote."

Aside from Trump, Musk is an absolute THREAT to this country! This creature and his money need to be extracted like a cancer

Worst idea yet, pepper spraying drones. Call me paranoid.
