I learned clapping was unappreciated the day of this week’s plane crash, that I was scheduled to land at same airport that day. My reply is that us normal people are just happy to land upright. We all clapped when landing the next day.

Demanding that reporters who make criticisms of Trump/Musk be fired and jailed, is going to get the agencies in line with our Fuhrers.

Deportations are also lost jobs. Not sure they will be counted though.

Mafias/militia memberships protect capital, if the magical fairy principle of do not steal/aggress is insufficient. You get to choose the kindest mafia to protect you

This is fair. Anarcho capitalism is an astro turf campaign, funded by Koch brothers, to create anti tax republicans. NAP is a recipe for war, not peace.

Panama is accepting planes with random people because of US threats to its sovereignty (canal). While it could absorb 50 or so new Panamanian “tourists” who might well migrate north again, making it not Panama problem, it is sure that they expect to receive more under condition of “making them stay”

Everyone here was alive when the invasion started. Russia invaded Ukraine.

No, you just woke up then. Israel “loved Palestinians” before history started on October 7th. When history started on 9/11, it was proof that “they just hate us for our freedom”.

Russia’s red lines (No NATO) for not being forced into the Ukraine war were consistent prior to war, as they are now. It is west/Ukraine who lied their way through Minsk process.

no one ever counters how wonderful your life is for having a war on Russia. Post was about saving the world.

<s>America has the best healthcare system in the world, spending 5% of GDP more than comparable countries, like Canada (free healthcare), and United Healthcare is an AI technology pioneer for weeding out fraud and waste in the system, as obviously proven by its 32% decline rate that is twice the industry average. Strong pro business attitudes and policies is sure to make America greater in these metrics</s>

Corpo media expanding to social media did not start yesterday.

There are some seeds of hopefulness this week.

20% of savings will be put towards a “freedom dividend”. With cuts to military.

Freedom dividends is answer to everything. Disempowers government discretion, empowers people. Sales taxes and carbon taxes directly funding dividends becomes progressive taxes. Transferring “conditional poverty welfare” to dividends is path to eliminating homelessness, and not having a 50% clawback on work income that is a huge work disincentive.

Progressive versions of UBI/freedom dividends is just a higher amount with higher taxes. But a conservative version that still tries to maintain (as close as legally allowed systemic) slavery, is still a path to a long term sustainable fix for country.

End to proxy war on Russia.

Facts genuinely support that US/NATO controlled/manipulated Ukraine into provoking war on Russia. By far the most demonic war the US has ever started, with specific objective of diminishing Russia to the last Ukrainian. That Blackrock can get cheap land and resources in the end does not help Americans. Nothing about this war helps world. Climate sustainability cannot be a 2nd priority to war, and oil industry profits, and forcing massive diesel use and refinery terrorism to operate the war. Pure demonic hatred/mission to destroy/destabilize Russia is not going to get it to cooperate on energy transition. Before Biden, they were cooperating with Europe to mutual benefit.

Massive war spending increases from NATO to match forced Russian/China production increases is not path to human sustainability, or even a path to likely victory over Russia/China. Getting the DNC to force us into candidacy of the most republican/neocon/zionist candidate possible makes all progressive policies impossible due to lower priority. Both a small UBI, and war de-escalation, means having a progressive alternative have a chance, instead of appealing to the Dick/Liz Cheney wing of the democratic party.

Russian military production increases that seem to match entire west is a horrible consequence. 5% gdp military spending all around isnot what world needs.

A stronger instead of weaker Russia is weakening of west, and inflation from sanctions.

As kissinger said, its . Much more lethal to be Americas friend than its enemy.

Exactly as in 2014, ukraine can get better deal from Russia than west. The only reason west will support ukraine is to funnel weapons to support terrorism against new russia.

Deal is aweful to accept for Ukraine, and only zelensky corruption could result in it.

Palestine coverage was feared to swing election or make aipac look bad.

Bikes/buses use roads. won’t get train station to your house.
