  • Germany.
    That rule prevents a lot of abuse of marriage laws (like “marrying” before a large windfall income to save taxes, then immediately “divorcing” again).
    It gives couples time to fix their marriage if possible, before all of the legal ramifications take effect.
    Or to separate their goods, get legal council, plan moving out, etc. if it isn’t fixable.
    And the mandatory alimony payments allow the partner who cared for the household to leave their (possibly abusive) spouse without becoming destitute.
    I wonder what makes you think it’s backwards?










  • Once the AI is developed they could deliver mail or stock items in a department store.

    That’s never going to happen the way you imagine. AI can’t make decisions it wasn’t trained for, and delivering mail in the real world isn’t as simple as you think.
    Unless you forced everyone to install standardized mailboxes and accepted that important mail won’t be delivered to people if their mailbox looks different, got damaged, or is covered in snow.

    But assuming it did work, who would profit from AI mail robots?
    The people would get worse service, without a human connection anymore.
    The postal workers would all be fired.
    And as soon as the entire system relies on AI robots, the company leasing them out to the government would increase prices to at least what it cost before, since they’ve established a monopoly impossible to enter for any competition.
