I actually agree that children should (probably) wait until their adults for these "radical" gender changing procedures. Nevertheless, if only more interviews were like this.

The CIA has been there probably since the Obama era, when they helped overthrow the gov that was there in 2014 that almost certainly lead to this war. It’s not just Ukrainians fighting Russians:

'There is a much larger presence of both CIA and U.S. special operations personnel and resources in Ukraine than there were at the time of the Russian invasion in February, several current and former intelligence officials told The Intercept.

Secret U.S. operations inside Ukraine are being conducted under a presidential covert action finding, current and former officials said. The finding indicates that the president has quietly notified certain congressional leaders about the administration’s decision to conduct a broad program of clandestine operations inside the country. One former special forces officer said that Biden amended a preexisting finding, originally approved during the Obama administration, that was designed to counter malign foreign influence activities.'

 
The future is...robotic. This is part of why DARPA created the internet and SKYNET:

'If all goes according to plan, Air Force fighter pilots will one day fly into contested airspace accompanied by as many as five drones under their control to serve as weapons trucks, electronic warfare platforms, intelligence-gathering devices, and even decoys.'

I wonder if the DARPA cyborg / brain-machine interface will play a roll in this, as in cyborg pilots with brain chips:

'“They will be able to understand control laws and variables therein, improve human-machine interfacing based on cognitive workload feedback, and determine information exchange requirements for assured command, control and communications. By accomplishing this through a rapid series of iterations, operators will help inform the future of CCA, gaining familiarity and trust in the performance of uncrewed platforms.”'


Here’s DARPA on combing man with machine, aka making cyborgs, where humans are mixed with technology to create the end of humanity:

So that's one theory. Of course groups like the CIA have contingency plan upon contingency plan. Looks like the approach the NATO allies settled upon is working pretty well right now.
 
STOP. Unpaid lunch, means a lunch taken off the clock. If you are working on that lunch you are working off the clock. It is not rocket science, not a Trump conspiracy... It's just breaking the law. My feelings have nothing to do with it.
Once again, your feelings get in the way and you are wrong.
I am given 30 minutes unpaid lunch. If I choose to use that as six 5-minute breaks, or three 10-minute breaks, or ANY combination to make 30 minutes, I can do so. As long as I work the hours I am paid for, my EMPLOYER cannot face a hassle for not paying me for the time I work. Because THAT is what the laws regulate: the EMPLOYER.

And once again, you have not proved how the law says *I* am not “allowed” to do work for free for ANY employer if I so choose.

Back up your feelings with fact, and share what punishment I can face from the legal/justice system if I get caught working for more hours than I am paid.
Keep it simple.
Do I get arrested? Do I go to court?
Is there jail time, or a financial penalty?
Tell me EXACTLY what the judge can do to me if I do work for my employer for free and get caught in the act.

Why are you arguing? Is it because you are stupid? Ignorant? Arrogant? Too much pride? What is it?

I don't know why you wont follow along.

You work for your employer. What you do can affect your employer legally. The laws that are in place do not allow for an employer to let YOU work off the clock (unpaid) if you are a non-exempt employee. If you work, you must be paid. PERIOD. When you choose to work off the clock you are now putting your employer in a legally actionable situation. This is NOT up for debate. It is the law. As their employee they are responsible for your actions. They can be legally punished. This will lead to you being fired. There are reasons for these laws and none of your spins or fast talking would fool a judge or prosecuting attorney.

So settle this once and for all:
TELL US WHAT PUNISHMENT THE LEGAL SYSTEM WILL MAKE ME ENDURE IF I’M CAUGHT AND CONVICTED OF WORKING FOR MY EMPLOYER WITHOUT GETTING PAID.

If it is against the law for ME to work for free, then there is a legal punishment if I break the law, get caught, get convicted by a “judge and jury” that you referenced. (At least you now say a judge and jury would decide if I get punished or not).
WHAT IS THE PUNISHMENT?

I’m thinking the reason you refuse to answer the question is that a correct answer will prove you are wrong about your feelings on the law.

Yes, let's settle this. Once and for all. Go tell your employer what you do.

My employer isn’t claiming a judge and jury will punish me if I am caught working without being paid. YOU are claiming it.

So…PROVE IT.

TELL US THE PUNISHMENT A JUDGE AND JURY COULD METE OUT IF I AM CAUGHT AND CONVICTED OF WORKING WITHOUT BEING COMPENSATED.

NOT what my employer could do, the JUDGE AND JURY, that YOU referenced could be a part of this.

If you can’t reference a punishment to ME by a court of law, then the law as you FEEL exists does not exist at all.

Nor should your employer... had you been able to comprehend what you read you would have already switched to the next topic.
