  • That’s generally what relational databases are for. You might try LibreOffice Base or sqlite.

    As for JSON, XML, and YAML files in particular, there are tools for doing one-off queries/transformations against them, like jq and yq.

  • In the future, please use original links in URL fields, and put paywall bypass links in the Body.

  • Their Xinjiang operation was a lemon, and now they’ve given up on selling the “genocide” lemonade they made from it.

  • In financial terms, for most people the government doesn’t help you at all[^1]. Either your private health insurance pays some of the costs, or else you pay completely out of pocket. Even if you do have health insurance, it’s still going to cost you several thousand dollars per year until it’s resolved. It’s quite common for cancer to cause people to go bankrupt even with good health insurance.

    [^1]: If you’re 1) old or 2) through means testing are found to be both poor and physically unable to work, then you get government-funded a health insurance plan. You still might go bankrupt though, just as with private health insurance.

  • They’re not only identifying immigrants, though. And they may be using biometrics from Real ID, which everyone needs to drive or enter many government buildings or receive many government services.

  • People with means are always able to get birth control and abortions.

  • It’ll be interesting to see if/how the Dems try to torpedo their own candidate in the general election.

  • Oh look what instance this was commented on.

  • I guess Noam Chomsky and Michael Parenti are paid shills, too?

    Ukraine is a sovereign nation

    Ukraine may be sovereign on paper, but it’s a vassal of the US, which couped its government in 2014 (and 2004). Previously. Previously.

  • NATO didn’t stop a genocide; it aided one[1][2][3].

    During the latter half of [the 1990s], Yugoslav authorities engaged in a brutal counterinsurgency against the Kosovo Liberation Army. An Al Qaeda-connected extremist group armed, funded and trained by the CIA and MI6, the KLA sought to construct an ethnically pure “Greater Albania” - a Nazi-inspired irredentist project, uniting Tirana with territory in Greece, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia - via insurrectionary violence. Come September 1998, hostilities had erupted into all-out war. A UN Security Council Resolution that month demanded the two sides implement a ceasefire.

    Yugoslav military forces were duly withdrawn from the province - in turn, the KLA exploited the army’s absence to intensify its bloody rampage, seizing further territory and purging non-Albanian inhabitants. A dedicated OSCE unit, the Kosovo Verification Mission, was also created to ensure Belgrade’s ceasefire compliance. KVM was granted full, unimpeded movement anywhere they wished locally. Their presence proved pivotal not only to the KLA’s savage crusade, but NATO’s subsequent criminal bombing of Yugoslavia March - June 1999.

  • FYI, sometimes some light headline editing is helpful & warranted, like, “[Iranian] President says people must be proud of themselves for victory”.

  • Technically correct, the worst kind of correct in geopolitics. The US hasn’t declared war in over 80 years and yet has slaughtered millions around the world since.

  • My understanding is that Iran gave several states, including the US and Qatar, advance warning of their attack. Iran expected that none of their missiles would hit their targets.
