Anyone who thought $1.3 B could upgrade the entire power grid is an idiot in the first place.

Maybe $1.3 T.

We’re talking about NOT voting, you illiterate fuck.

Young people don’t fucking vote. It doesn’t really matter what they want.

Biden wasn’t shoved down anyone’s throat. Everywhere that mattered in the primaries had single digit turnout for 18-29 year olds.

The people that care most about this were never going to vote in general. And with a significant majority of the population supporting Israel, there’s not really any option for candidates against it either.

And again, given that the majority of the population supports Israel, someone like Trump and Biden are going to be equivalent on the issue.

2/3 of Americans in that say the US should publicly support Israel.

Only 13% say their sympathies lie with Palestinians in the war.

It’s really only Arab Americans that support Palestine over Israel. And more Arab Americans identify as Republican and would vote for Trump who is even more pro Israel and anti Palestinian. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/arab-american-support-biden-democrats-plummets-over-israel-poll-2023-10-31/

No, Hamas is a fucking terrorist group that hasn’t allowed an election since they staged a coup in 2007. They kill civilians and use civilian infrastructure as military strongpoints.

You still need the comma before Okta to be grammatically correct.

More correct would be to just use multiple sentences.

“No, Okta. It was senior management, not an errant employee, that caused you to get hacked.

In every voting system, not voting is equivalent to a vote for the worst option.

That’s how democracy in general works. Even with ranked choice voting, if someone only puts candidate A as their choice because they disagree with everyone else, then their vote doesn’t count if candidate A is eliminated in the first round.

Not voting at all just lowers the threshold needed to win.

Bernie proved that the most vocal pussies online won’t actually show up when it matters. The DNC didn’t have to pull out any stops when single digits of eligible voters in the 18-29 group bothered to actually show up.

Young people not voting is explicitly voting for a christofascist though.

There is no viable one state solution unless it is an internationally controlled secular state, which neither party would want.

Hamas. The terrorist group.

When did they refer to all Palestinians as terrorist?

Tlaib supports a Palestinian one state model with the total elimination of the State of Israel.

They have not allowed an election to be held in 17 years. They’re no more a “political party” than the Taliban.

They just change the definitions when it suits them.

High capacity used to be the big 50-100 round mags. Now when they say “high capacity” they mean standard capacity 30 round or even smaller. Plenty of places ban anything over 10 or 15.

All of that might be another $2 total. Produce is generally dirt cheap.

They could also make their own homemade black bean burger patties for far cheaper than $2.50 a patty too. Premade stuff is expensive.

There’s no such thing as price gouging for unnecessary goods or services.

If you don’t think the good is worth that price, don’t buy it plain and simple. McDonald’s is not a necessity. They’re going to price their product according to what they believe the market will bear.

Seeing “pushback on some of their prices” is one of the most basic aspects of the market. Fewer people will buy a product at a given price, and McDonald’s will adjust the prices to the appropriate level or they’ll fail.

It would be $5 a burger if they waste the other 4 buns in the package. They got 4 patties and 8 buns.

If they get another 4 patties it would be $28 total and about $3.50 per burger and slice of danish. Which is relatively cheap for everything they got. Throw in a head of lettuce, a tomato, and an onion and it might cost an extra $2 total to dress 8 burgers.

Fucking where lol. Eggs have gone back to being cheap for like the last year almost. Kroger brand eggs are $1.89 a dozen here in Colorado.

That’s relatively cheap…

You’ve got 8 buns there so buying 4 more patties would take the whole thing to $28 for 8 burgers and cutting the danish into 8 slices which is probably the serving size anyway. Or $3.50 per burger and slice of danish.

And you grabbed the most expensive versions of things too.

The elections in 2006 is not when Hamas took power. Their coup in 2007 was.
