Well, in the Bible, I know there were at least a few stories where Jesus didn’t take too kindly to what would be a modern day businessman.

What I meant was "Did he choose that example because of some current event?" I wasn't questioning whether members of the church should be upset about priests blessing crooks.

in other types of media its done to indicate CSAM but in anime it’s not

if a tv series shows it it is trying to potray child sexual abuse

anime isn’t doing that they are just normalising it.

I still don't understand. You keep saying "it". What is "it"?

I don't understand what you're trying to communicate here.

People who act shocked that a priest would bless a gay couple but have no problem with him blessing a crooked businessman are hypocrites, Pope Francis said.

Did something come up about priests blessing crooked businessmen, or is he just speaking in general terms?

Ackchyually, Biden is a hero for doing thiis brave thing

#Joe Biden just did the rarest thing in US politics: he stood up to the oil industry

The President can't reschedule marijuana?

edit:

The Congressional Research Service seems to think he could:

I hate biased, ivy league, self-serving economists pretending to be and having the gravitas of scientists when they declare this intentionally corrupt, thieving economy to be the optimal system for distributing goods and services to the society it is supposed to be in service to instead of the other way around as it has become.

People compare academic models to real world scenarios without considering whether the underlying assumptions made in a model are met. A lot of times a free market economy is supposed to have many competing vendors, and there is supposed to be many customers who are all well educated about the marketplace and the product and the prices, and the widgets being sold are all virtually identical, etc. I think there are some good ideas in economics, but it is closely linked to politics and it seems like there are many people who are acting in bad faith, or are otherwise little more than accountants that like to dabble in philosophy.

I think you may have misunderstood me. When this guys says:

In rural places, a candidate goes out on the campaign trail and they say that the first thing they have to do is distance themselves from the national party. Now, I don’t think they have to do that, but they feel like they have to do that. They say, “I’m not a Democrat like national Democrats.”

I can't help but think that this guy fundamentally does not understand how these people perceive the Democrat party and its platform. He says, "So much news is nationalized, and there is so much news that is sensationalized." It sounds like he thinks the people who are out there running for office and talking to voters are being silly because they are trying to distance themselves from the organization at the national level.

Give a man a gun and he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank and he can rob the world.

I hate the finance sector.

I'll save you some time:

The FAA even lets the company regulate its own planes starting in 2009 (“self-regulation”).

You're welcome.

People associate air under pressure with bicycle tires because they're ignorant.

I think Putin is paranoid about being near someone who is not FSB and having an "accident", because that is how he operates. He is doing a Stalin speedrun, and I don't think he'll last much longer.

How about the candidates themselves? What are some of the challenges facing Democratic candidates as they run in such a rural, Republican state?

In rural places, a candidate goes out on the campaign trail and they say that the first thing they have to do is distance themselves from the national party. Now, I don’t think they have to do that, but they feel like they have to do that. They say, “I’m not a Democrat like national Democrats.” So much news is nationalized, and there is so much news that is sensationalized. I think if you want to talk to people about local issues, that’s what you should focus on. It’s OK to bring the conversation back to the local issue. Local Wyoming officials are not going to solve the border crisis in Texas. People’s emotions run high on those hot-button issues, but when it comes right down to it, this local community does not come together on party lines. It comes together on what’s best for the community.

They need to replace this guy if that is what he really believes. He's in denial.

You're welcome.

According to wikipedia:

Czechia has 9,567 km.
USA has 220,044 km.

In July, Duvan became the third worker to die in less than three years at the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, plant owned by Mar-Jac, a Georgia-based poultry production company.

In 2020, 33-year-old Joel Velasco Toto died after a co-worker “inserted an air-compression hose into his rectum,” the lawsuit says. In 2021, 48-year-old Bobby Butler died after becoming entangled in a machine he was cleaning.

This doesn't sound like a great place to work.

'Allegedly' is not required because they are quoting the state police:

A teenager was shot and killed by a police officer responding to a residence in Nebraska to conduct a welfare check, state police said.

My only notes are that it should say "Officer shot and killed 17-year-old while conducting a welfare check."

I think the news would have to put allegedly in there somewhere.

maybe so
