I think so.

You’re not wrong. I hope you leave the post up.

Yes, yes, and yes.

He doesn’t know either.

That’s not how it works in practice. In practice, crapitalists get tax breaks, everyone else gets less infrastructure, services, etc and pays more for the wealthy to enjoy a luxury liner while trying to run us over on whatever scraps we have.

Fair.

That’s trickle down economics and a lie.

I don’t think you can or that it’s even wise. I think therapy can help you mitigate consequences, and if you value these people in any way, you will make every effort of going to a therapist, being honest, and participating to make the situation more tolerable for yourself and potentially others.

Serious question: if drones can be utelized for atrocities, why can’t they be for humanitarian reasons?

It doesn’t benefit the ruling class if too many of the wrong people access education; they may get ideas.

Someone extremely wealthy with an expensive private art collection.

Probably farm equipment, tractors, harrows, etc.

We were subjected to shabeh [a form of torture in which the prisoner is bound by each wrist and hung against a wall or door, arms spread wide, with their feet barely touching the floor].

Crucifixion.

Toyota has quality on their side. “Cheap” can be over-priced, but sometimes "less expensive” can be “better quality.”

The U.S. had threatened to retaliate if nations support it. Trump urged countries to vote “No” at the International Maritime Organization headquarters in London, posting on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday that “the United States will not stand for this global green new scam tax on shipping.” The IMO is the United Nations agency that regulates international shipping. Saudi Arabia called for a vote to adjourn the meeting for a year. More than half of the countries agreed.

No surprise there.

Shipping emissions have grown over the past decade to about 3% of the global total as trade has grown and vessels use immense amounts of fossil fuels to transport cargo over long distances. In April, IMO member states agreed on the contents of the regulatory framework, with the aim of adopting the “Net-Zero Framework” at this London meeting.

I’m curious about cruise ships.

“What matters now is that countries rise up and come back to the IMO with a louder and more confident yes vote that cannot be silenced,” said Anaïs Rios, shipping policy officer for Seas At Risk. “The planet and the future of shipping does not have time to waste.

I don’t see why they’re whinging, knowing fully well the goods consumers will be paying anything due, either in health or money.

I’m betting the guy without an original thought is a fed, along with his buddy.
