Indeed.
If you present this option to a full plane, would it really be surprising if half the plane chose to skip a meal?
Would you blame them?
Why do politicians think they are entitled to get votes just because the other option is even worse?
Not an American. If I were, I would vote Biden. But I also fully understand why a lot of Americans won’t vote for him.
Trump v Clinton
Trump v Biden
Trump v Biden (again)
Is the USA really not capable of getting some actually capable candidates on the ballot?
The last time it was actually two normal people was 2012 with Obama v Romney. That’s 12 years ago.
There are voters this election that were in kindergarten back then.
Israel only bombs terrorists, not civilians.
Your German nationality will now be revoked for thinking the wrong thought.
Yes, for those, too.
Also the kids in Lebanon.
The Zionists will be voting for Trump this year. And Trump will probably support expanding the war into Lebanon with American money.
He already said he wants Israel to “finish the job” in Gaza.
Perhaps he should.
It would most likely split the democratic vote and lead to a republican victory.
But it will send a message to Democrats that they must take progressives seriously if they want progressive votes.
Sending that same message in the presidential election would be a too high price to pay, but one House seat isn’t that bad.
Of course. And it will just lead to a situation where you will need to pirate a copy to be able to play it offline.
These schemes only give paying customers a worse experience than pirates.
Netanyahu and the right need more terrorists in order to justify further land grabs, so yes, that’s the goal.
Radicalize more people, so that those people strike back, then engage in war and take their land.
And yes, this is also how the Europeans and Americans took land from the natives during colonization.
I didn’t think I’d find a mercantilist in 2024, but here we are.
No, that’s not how it works, otherwise the US would be a poor country based on their massive trade deficit.
Trade takes place because it is mutually beneficial. Each parties gets something out of each trade.
Reducing trade therefore will always hurts both countries.
Exactly which loses more will depend on a lot of factors, but in general smaller economies are more dependent on larger economies.
Usually with these types of things, it tends to be worse for the smaller economy, but both suffer. (See Brexit, Sanctions on Russia, Iran and Venezuela, and also historically those on apartheid South Africa and Rhodesia).
Turkey has a GDP 2-3x that of Israel, so I don’t know why you’d think it would be worse for them.
What they fear most, above anything, is that public opinion in the USA will flip.
When attitudes toward apartheid changed in the USA, it culminated in sanctions in 1986.
Five years later, Nelson Mandela was free and apartheid had ended.
Layoffs… In this labour market, lol.
He might as well close shop.
McDonalds operates in a highly competitive market and as anyone who has ever worked in one can tell you, they already have the absolute minimum employees that they can get away with.
This is also in line with what textbook economics would predict.
So yeah, he will layoff whomever he can, whether min wage is $10 or $20.
The poster said “now do NDAs”, which is what the parent is referring to
Indeed, a pool of menstruation blood would be the more accurate equivalence.
I remember when Democrats had 60 seats and Lieberman was the boogeyman.
There is always an excuse.
I agree.
By itself, Israel just isn’t a viable state. It’s a US/European colony.
Even if the US and European countries would continue their aid, but (for example) crack down on dual citizenship, Israel would implode.
And I do think the 180 is going to come within two decades. We already see that young Americans and young Europeans do not support Israel in majority.
And it’s not just aid to Israel, but also aid to Egypt, Jordan and special privileges for Saudi-Arabia.
There are so many expensive support structures to make the colony work, that I honestly don’t think Israel will exist in its current form in 2050.
You are correct.
I could swear that when I read the primary source yesterday, it said Bangladesh had zero sugar.
But going to the link, that’s no longer the case.
Either I was wrong or they corrected it.
Primary source: https://stories.publiceye.ch/nestle-babies/
Does anyone know why Bangladesh had zero added sugar?
Could it be that Bangladesh has stricter regulations?
Edit: it seems I was wrong. I thought when I read this yesterday it said Bangladesh had no sugar, but looking it up today, that’s no longer the case.
Also, a lot of small investors hold their assets through institutions.
Perhaps I am not enough of a tankie, but in a fully equal world, I would expect these institutions, especially pension funds, to hold 100% of equities.
Every family would be middle class.
A young, starting family would have a mortgage and zero investments.
An old family would have a paid off house and a retirement account filled with a diverse set of stocks and bonds. The total value would be more than a million, making everyone a millionaire over time.

Romney wasn’t that different from McCain, Bush or Reagan. Or Sunak or Thatcher.
Relative to other conservatives, he was within the norm.
