#1. Israel is the aggressor. The state has been imposed on the people of the middle east through violence.
#2. Through US support, Israel is the most powerful country in this conflict. They therefore have the moral responsibility to act in a way to promote peace
#3. Hamas and Hezbollah are not terrorist organizations. They're legitimately part of their respective government's
#4. Any act you've been told is a terrorist act by those two organizations was very likely legal under international law. Israel is an occupying force. People are legally allowed to fight that force through violence.
I believe he's the type of guy that's compartmentalized. He full heartedly believes that the rich need to be taxed more and that he'll work tirelessly to prevent it because it's bad for business
Progressive policies are popular. There's a phenomenon where centrists pretend to be progressive in order to be elected and then do a heel turn.
'Et tu Bernie?' References this. And here I am having to explain very recent history to some lib in defense of some leftist/progressive I've never met because libs can't take any fucking criticism during any fucking time. Maybe stop for a moment and engage some critical thinking. We weren't happy to see biden drop out JUST because he's old. Everyone was hoping for policy change, but that dreams gone, and Trump's up in polls as a result...
We called it marijuana before it was legal. Marijuana is a term that's obviously linked to Latin communities.
So while it's illegal, we're OK with calling it something that's linked to a community, BUT once it's legal, suddenly we're trying to erase that connection. Like it's too good for that community anymore.
It would be less racist to continue calling it marijuana WHILE recognizing the historical racism and celebrating the culture that ensured the plant was still here when it was legalized. Ignoring that contribution is like appropriation.
Erasing the Latin influences in marijuana culture once the plant is legal isn't anti racist.
I made a prediction 2 years ago that elon would be the first billionaire turned homeless person.
It was more a dream, but I've never made a prediction I want to happen as much as that one
Remember code is minimum. Mold and mildew resistant drywall can go on a bathroom ceiling. It just doesn't very often because code is for the shower wall
I worked as an it business analyst for a larger multinational for a hot minute. Lenovo laptops were beastly and rarely broke. When 10 000 employees are all using t series laptops for years, with few breaking down, it made me appreciate your comment quite a bit.
I'm not trying to plug lenovo. There's very little difference between lenovo and dell at the enterprise level. Those are the ones I have experience with and so I'll comment on those. Just buy actual business laptops. Especially if you're not gaming
This is just an example of how this was never about Oct 7.
The West bank has a completely different government than the Hamas led gaza strip. There are no hostages in the west bank. This is a provocative act as isntreal continues to try and make a wider regional conflict.
I'm fairly certain that the last two books will be published close together. Grrm is well known for writing a chapter and then pushing it to the next book.
They prop up prices in a lot of ways, the first one that comes to mind is extending the length of a mortgage.
That makes housing both more affordable, but also makes the banks a lot more money.
We have all of our eggs in that basket.
Also, I went to an affordable housing conference in 2018. At that point, Canada was in crisis. Prices are much higher now
Thanks... There's a lot of reasons why this analogy isn't going to last now because supply and demand is grade school economics.
Check out all of the ways government is subsidizing construction of units.
And how does it work when a company is selling units, but they have to have an increase in revenue quarter over quarter? They can't suddenly sell for less. Otherwise stock price will fall and executive's will have to take parachutes. Government doesn't want all these companies to fail, so they prop up the prices.
This thing is far too complicated for supply and demand economics. Anyone selling that has invested in real estate
Supply and demand doesn't begin to explain Canadian housing issues.
If I have 10 apples that i sell $1/piece, I'm not going to start selling them at $.75/piecewhen I get 30 apples.
