Israel also uses human shields and they have been at the core of its expansion policy for decades. They call them "settlers."

This double standard pisses me off more than just about anything else about the conflict. Israel is the undisputed champion of using civilians as cover for its military and expansionist goals.

And before anyone tries to claim this bullshit that they are acting without the authority of the state, first tell me who Netanyahu put in charge of settlement policy.

That's why I live way the hell out in the suburbs

If not even California can make meaningful steps towards permanent supportive housing, it sure as shit won't happen in Texas.

Putting that much money into circulation would cause hyperinflation and then a gallon of milk would cost 10 quintillion dollars and you're back to square one.

$140k per year is enough to afford a mortgage on a $500k house. You'd have to make crazy money to buy a house outright on a year's salary, so nobody evaluates it that way.

Yes, I was specifically referencing the 1967 war and that Israel has never since been content to stay within its borders.

I also believe the Nakba was a great crime but my point is that Israel was not even satisfied with the partition it received.

Their intent has always been to control the entire territory. "From the river to the sea" was Likud's founding platform before it was a chant for Palestinian rights.

Based on the cell phone reception in my house, I already suspect it's a Faraday cage.

Shocker that Israel isn't open to a two-state solution. It's almost like spending the past 57 years slowly annexing Palestinian land was a subtle sign that they intend to take all of it.

There's a reason Netanyahu put Tkuma in charge of settlement policy.

Also not out of multiple right arms, while we're counting the surplus

Sure. No, I would not support making everyone worse off. That would be a net loss for everyone, which would be a clearly negative outcome.

But my point is that decreasing income inequality historically has not had the effect of making everyone worse off. So as I said previously, your hypothetical is not a reasonable portrayal of what would happen in a more equal society.

Meanwhile, as inequality increases, you can see the damage right in front of you. Much of an entire generation is unable to afford homes or education without going into massive debt, when their parents could attain these things because economic gains reached more people in the society of that era.

I don't know. A lot of people seem willing to pay for battle passes, which is already halfway there.

It was good to see a little bit of resistance this year and particularly the success of BG3, but I'm concerned that the overall trend is negative. Any publisher beholden to investors will be under strong pressure to monetize, monetize, monetize.

All I can do is not give them money, but someone else probably will.

Does !g cause DuckDuckGo to search through Google's search results - and if so does DDG do a better job of prioritizing the relevant ones? I've used DDG for a couple years but I didn't know that syntax.

1. No, you didn't ask me that question. You asked someone else that question, who didn't respond to you.
2. No, my response did not suggest I would prefer everyone be worse off. Quite the opposite, I gave multiple concrete examples of real-world scenarios where lower inequality has made people better off.

Clearly the only person you're talking to is yourself, so this is pointless.

Important to note that this is a motion to table - so the "Yea" vote means they disagree with Bernie's resolution.

The ADL just declared that Jewish Voice for Peace are antisemitic so Bernie probably isn't far behind.

No one besides you said that.

People who work in internet ad sales may not inspire much sympathy, but automation will have much broader impacts than just this one job sector.

No, you just completely failed to understand the comment and therefore the subject at hand.

If you don't understand that a specific example or phrase is frequently used as a stand-in for a broader subject, and you can't figure out what the subject is and therefore the meaning of the comment, then you are illiterate.

Can't wait to see the ADL label Bernie an antisemite just like they did with Jewish Voice for Peace.
