At this time, no official medical cause of her death has been publicly communicated. After the eviction, she remained hospitalized and, in the days that followed, those close to her and the Tenants' Union linked the deterioration of her condition to the stress suffered during the process.

The "net good" here is that it's torture for us. It's good sport for those in power in prison. There's also the fact that those in power can earn a little side hustle from relatively zero risk: you don't need to smuggle anything into the prison to sell, you just sell one prisoner to the next. That is the society we live in.
Things are pretty fucked up right now for us literally everywhere. We're fucking dying here. Educate yourself.

If you are undocumented? Then you can't identify yourself and thus can't age verify either. Plenty of homeless people or people with incredible life issues are not and will never be able to complete a government-backed age verification scheme.
I'm basing this all on reports from the Institute for the Study of War (which is a Washington based organization, mind you). I'm just a layman who likes reading the ISW. So take it with a grain of salt.
The ISW has repeatedly said (bullet points ISW, comments are mine):
A good example of this is over a year ago when there were discussions in The Netherlands against providing Ukraine with F-16's which were an "offensive weapon". (Is there such a thing as a 'defensive' weapon I ask you?)
They will keep the pressure on since a loss on a battlefield is a sure way for Putin and his 'strongman' image to go to shit. Russia needs a victory to sell itself. Nearly everything they do including the disinformation in their papers, the bullshit on TV and the diplomatic signaling to other nations is in service of that. The state controls everything because authoritarianism is a fact and a way of life over there.
I think Putin and his cronies feel existentially threatened because they can't sell a victory to the people. They're forced to sell god knows how many of KIA/MIA/WIA/POW. The ISW also reported that an immediate return of Russian combat veterans into society might lead to some nasty stuff and that would have to be dealt with either by Russia or in negotiations with Russia.
Back to what ISW said:
I think there might also a little bit of some soldier somewhere "accidentally" misprogramming a drone's path to fuck with the west a little? It doensn't all have to come from higher up. Drone attacks and border incidents can just as easily be one angry vatnik and now you have a diplomatic incident that Putin himself probably believes as "European warmongering". Who knows?
If Russia can't win this war? It's all the fault of the Nazi imperialist west, since the "expansion of NATO" threatens the "traditional" heteronormative values of Russian society. So we're the cause of this war, even though Russia annexed Crimea, shot down MH17, genocides the Ukrainians, indoctrinates Ukrainian children and kills people in the street and prisoners of war in cold blood.
'Just war' theory says something about when entering and continuing a war is 'just' or not. I have no idea where nuclear weapons fit into this but I don't want to find out.
If you don't think having a SIM card is a "pressing problem" then you don't have enough contact with homeless people. Staying in contact with those who care is vital for basic things such as:
You have no idea how hard life on the street is. Plenty of folks there just don't have a phone because it gets stolen, lost, can't charge it, falls in the water, breaks or gets thrown to bits because you got wronged again and can't take it anymore. Maybe you'll sell it for some cash so you can buy food or get some water for a week?
It all starts with a damn SIM card.
Imagine you can't do 2FA for your government ID. How can you get a phoen? How are you going to apply to social subsidized housing? How are help providers able to help you if you can't authenticate to government websites? Social subsidized housing all runs on government eID stuff. Maybe you need to pay 800 euros worth of healthcare bills but don't know what it's for and the only way to request it in a timely manner is via authenticating yourself to your insurance company over the internet! Now you can't!
Basic societal technology needs to work for everyone.
It seemingly works well enough for a large enough majority that no one is out protesting in the streets. For things to get better, serious reforms are needed or things first have to get a lot worse.
Here's the kicker: reform is always needed. There will always be people who are cheating fair systems, dismantling checks and balances or helping their friends do both.
When was the last all you commenters were politically active?
