The US has that, doesn’t it?

More children to exploit in those cobalt mines! Can’t stop now!

They are walking billboards.

In some way, I can respect that absolute devotion that leads to complete disregard of even your own children.

The USA is going to bomb anybody who trades with Cuba?

I wouldn’t have let them take a picture of me, let alone know in which city in France I’m in. Didn’t the Russians kill the deserter who gave Ukraine a helicopter? He was in South America and they still got to him.

Why won’t the rest of the world just ignore the blockade together?

USA is the only country with TRUE FREEDOM! /s

Yes, that’s the only option. It’s always occupation or no occupation. No other options exist. /s

Her actions may be shit in that instance, but the video isn’t wrong. She predicted the collapse.

Hmmm Ground News says it has only been reported by the right so far

“The world has abandoned us,” she added. “They left us to the Taliban, and whatever happens to us now is a result of Western government policies.”

Hear hear.

If you don’t vote against the rich, you vote against yourself. Class traitors. The bunch of us.

Because the middle class will keep voting for the same people who fuck them over thinking that they’ll fuck over the poors instead. Jokes on them / us.

It’s the same as in every business: those making decisions think that the decision making is the hardest and most important part of the equation. Not only that, they believe that it is their right and that they worked very hard to get where they are.

There are two reasons they have to believe that:

1. if they didn’t, they’d feel that they didn’t deserve it
2. it also explains (to them at least) why there is inequality

The common argument that is brought up against change now is capital flight: “if businesses and rich people were taxed too much, they’d leave the country”. There is a great fear that they will leave and take all the good jobs with them. The counter argument to that is: they aren’t the only ones with brains to get a business going. Rich people aren’t smarter than non-rich people, businesses that leave did employ people from whence they left and they also probably sold to the people in that area or country.

Now, of course the speed of departure, the political reaction, and the location are important.

Speed: instant departure can have a serious impact as the jobless might not be able to find other employment quickly. A graduated departure allows that however and also makes it possible for people to focus on other jobs/specialisations in the first place.

Political reaction: depending on where you are, providing recertification and training courses, having good welfare programs, and most importantly having an exit tax can help soften the blow of departure

Location: A big employer leaving a small town can be devastating. A small employer leaving a city, less so. A big employer leaving a city can burden the city, but the other factors are important.

I feel trapped with Gmail

That seems like the easiest to replace… FairMail, KolabNow, MailFence, Mailbox.org, Protonmail, RunBox, StartMail, Tutanota, etc.

At this point, I feel like companies with revenues above a certain limit must be banned from the EU for the sake of its security and sovereignty.

Brought upon by idiotic voters (easily manipulated or egoistic or short-sighted) and non-voters who shirked their duty 👍 Even some researchers just voted for the conservatives.

Can’t forget the self-serving politicians who contributed a lot to the problem by not caring for the people but their rich friends instead (and still getting re-elected by idiotic voters). It’s a vicious cycle.

Are they being compensated adequately for their troubles? I’m not sure how they can promote (or whatever this is) having children without providing at least the financial means to do so.

That was quick 😅
