I’m 6-7. I’m at my grandparents house. He’s got one of those old-timey Pong consoles that you plug into the TV; it had like 5-6 different ‘sport’ modes (Tennis, Squash etc etc), but ultimately it was still a few pixels moving up and down or maybe left and right....
It was some educational game about a british kid in a hot air balloon. Not the slightest idea what it was called, but there was one frog song that little me loved.

During the cold war, the US armed and supported radical islamist factions called mujihadeen because they were opposed to the communists. This didn’t help, but ofc there were other factors. When the US began its wars in the middle east in earnest, they killed a lot of people including civilians. As a consequence, they were probably the most effective recruiters for radical islam (when a foreign government kills your friends or family, you’d feel positively incluned towards fundamentalist groups fighting them too). Throughout the iraq war and the related conflicts analysts warned that us intervention was fuelling islamic terror. I was under the impression that by now this was common knowledge.

Spending money on addressing criminogenic conditions instead of policing. It will be much less expensive in the long run, though you’ll probably still need a minimal police force. Getting there is tricky though, since there’s a significant time lag between implementing the change and reductions in crime. Although, a lot of current police budgets don’t really go towards helping anyone so maybe you could safely redirect money to long-term solutions without sacrificing short term security.
