What is the excuse for Germany? The US won’t, but can blame AIPAC for holding them hostage. Is there something similar going on there or is it some remnant of guilt from the Holocaust that compels them to assist Israel after all they’ve done?
One of the many many many things I’ve hated about Trump is that it doesn’t even need to specifically align with his interests as long as it doesn’t get in his way.
Republicans: “we’re going to do XYZ.”
Trump: “Will that affect me? If not who cares, have fun.”
Not in that term, but as a concept. I do know it now though so thanks!
I have absofuckinglutley no faith whatsoever in our society to do the right thing in this respect. We value ownership waytoofuckingmuch when it comes to businesses, were never going to get past the argument of “I put forward the capital for this business, I am entitled to all of the profits. Who cares that there is no work for you? No work no pay.”
I forsee a gigantic increase in homelessness and politicians will use that as an excuse to further cut any social spending as they’ll pin all our issues on “communist policies.” :(
Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks… I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I’m looking for with DDG. :/
I believe it’s also largest in dollar amount by a long shot.

Just a quick search found something from 2018 so don’t crucify me if it’s not accurate anymore lol
Not so fun fact: the constitution allows for slavery as long as it’s a punishment for a crime.
Hmmm… Nah, those dots don’t connect at all.
Thanks for the insight! I wish we could go harder on Israel here, but with our outrageously stupid ruling that corporations are people and money is speech, we now have all political parties beholden to large money influence because you can’t limit the freedom of speech… :(
