I don’t think financial literacy is the problem. I think the majority of the debt is incurred because people need to spend money on necessities. No amount of sound financial planning can make that go away

Excel 🤝 Incel Incorrectly assuming it’s a date

👆 they probably meant this one

This just shows that AI sucks for getting accurate information. Even if it didn’t hallucinate black people, it would’ve been just as wrong, just with white skinned queens. Now the lies just line up with “current social freakout of conservatives”.

I haven’t seen any Democrats say they did it on purpose, but I could’ve missed that memo.

But even if it is bait, it’s using immigrant lives as bait, and I’m not cool with that. What if the Republicans voted for the bill? Risking all those lives, for what?

And furthermore: now that the Republicans are proven to be hypocrites, do you think that this will cost them any votes?

That’s how it should be though. Everybody is equal under the law, so you shouldn’t punish undocumented immigrants harder than civilians.

Democrats just as much. They just proposed the toughest border control bill…

For government overhaul would add abolishing the presidency and per district voting (just divide seats in the house based on percentage of the vote overall, I.e. one big district).

For the rest of society: abolish private ownership of companies, but award stocks to the employees instead. This will align incentives of the company with the people most impacted by its decisions.

Income tax can stay as long as its very progressive.

Palestinians with dual nationality might be able to leave, but most of them can’t just leave. Gaza is surrounded by blockades imposed by Israel and Egypt, which restrict movement. Israel prevents access to and from Gaza by sea and air. Land movement is restricted to three crossings: the Egypt-controlled Rafah crossing and Erez and Kerem Shalom crossings, which Israel controls.

They are being kept there, they are not allowed to leave. Normally I would call that a prison, but prison would imply that they were convicted of a crime, which they weren’t. They are kept there, because Israel considers Palestinians to be an undesirable ethnicity. That is a concentration camp. You are conflating concentration camp with the nazi death camps.

especially considering HAMAS fighters a lot of times wear civilian clothing and don’t follow the laws of war

Sure, Hamas should paint giant targets on their backs and face the Israelis in an open field, mano-a-mano.

As long as Israel doesn’t recognize Palestine as an independent state, I don’t see why Palestinian freedom fighters, Hamas or otherwise, should behave like they’re the official army of an independent state.

“If Canada someday ever attacked Buffalo, I’m sorry, my friends, there would be no Canada the next day,”

Palestine is Buffalo in this analogy, right?

Hamas has offered on multiple occasions to release the hostages. Israel insists on continuing to commit genocide against the Palestinians.

And this talk about human shields is nonsense. Hamas has no choice but to be in proximity to civilians, because they’re all imprisoned by Israel in Gaza. Israel only uses this as an excuse to kill more Palestinians.

How many Palestinian kids will you kill to save a Israeli colonizer?

Not improving your political stances, but just benefiting from a popular artist? It’s the Democrats wildest dreams!

A homophobe with the username ‘europe_will_live’. How original. Fuck off loser.

The “fuck immigrants over” party is not popular with immigrants. Big surprise.

Republicans fuck over so many people, then they have to resort to crazy schemes like gerrymandering and voter suppression to not lose all the time. If they want to win, maybe do more popular things! This also goes for Joe Biden: all this complaining about leftist not voting for him, but he does nothing to convince them either.

Why would this analogy hold? Why can nations control who comes in and not cities, counties, or any other set of borders we’ve come up with?

On top of that, the US doesn’t seem to respect other borders as much either, when it sends troops to whatever place, usually without getting invited.

The atomic explosion really soured the mood

On the scale of doing nothing to socialist revolution, this is a pretty minor change. But I’d love to hear some improvements that are not fantasies. Or do we just have to give up?

Yeah, why do people propose minor improvements to this rotten system. People should just be content with their lot in life! How dare they have hope?!
