Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a USA to invade the USA and spread some of that sweet sweet democracy I am always hearing about?

Chances of Macron considering courting the far right to avoid concessions to the left and the people’s will?

Philanthropy has always been a PR calculation to keep the masses from revolting against the accumulation of wealth.

New Republic - How Bill Gates Impeded Global Access to Covid Vaccines

I can keep going if that’s not enough to read. Also lol at you trusting a governmental committee report.

Fuck Gates, he is responsible for many heinous things, most recently encouraging pharma companies to patent publicly funded covid vaccines, which has denied access to the global population, which then encourages mutations.

I don’t care what he is saying whether it’s good or not there are better people worth listening to on the subject. Billionaires are not the answer to the world’s problems, they are the cause of them.

My buddy got me into the game with the starter decks. I got to Force Choke General Motti and ready Vader to attack a second time and was just completely sold on the game.

As someone that has played a number of TCGs this one has a lot of room for interesting game design. Looking forward to future sets and something to bring me out to my LGS on a weekly basis.

Layna Sherman Crandell from the MN Anti-War Committee explained, “Zionism requires prioritizing the majority rule of some lives over others, necessitating the dehumanization of Palestinians. Israel is not Judaism; it is fascistic terror. Matsiyahu and the Zionists cannot speak for me or for the Jewish people, and they will not silence the voices of Palestinians in their fight for freedom and liberation.”

Ah I was getting my numbers mixed. There was huge support for a ground invasion of Gaza, but Netanyahu’s numbers remained low.

Legitimatlly surprised that number is so low. I know it was much higher back at the end of October.

Netanyahu wasin dire straights when this kicked off. War is good for those in power, shit is extremely reminiscent to Bush’s position before 9/11. Of course it’s being embraced.

You understand there are places other than China and the US right?

I just watched this video on toki pona. Really interesting in how it’s easy to learn but the difficulty comes from trying to communicate complex ideas.

You edited one part of you original post while leaving the rest of your terrible take. Those last two sections are doozies bud.

It’s debatable on the world stage whether they’re literally trying to eradicate the nation of Palestine.

Nah. It’s really not.

Almost like we need some sort of centralized planning for things like baby formula so important to society at large.

Really makes you think.

They have been bombing tent camps since October. Why would they do it? Because they literally don’t care, they wear Antisemitism as a shield.

“War against Hamas”

You won’t care though you’re deeply entrenched in propaganda. Biden isn’t pushing Isreali policy with this criticism, within 24 hours he claimed he is a zionist.

How is this knocking it out of the park?

I live in a townhouse that is one of 30 on our lot. All of the houses are a part of a land trust program that owners have to qualify in order to buy, a minimum income set to ensure applicants can pay a mortgage and a maximum set by the average income of the city. The houses are sold at cost and buyers agree to sell at that cost, plus a small percentage of equity gain per year lived in the house. Property taxes are fixed to this valuation agreement so nobody in the program is forced out of their home from real estate bubbles.

The HOA is responsible for repaving our shared driveway, external window cleaning, gutter cleaning, ect. On three storied townhouses some of those tasks would be difficult for neighbors to manage themselves and kinda ridiculous for each individual to take care of, when pooling resources is a simpler solution.

Your view of HOAs is entirely skewed by suburbia, which is terrible community planning from the onset.
