"Well, they did sign up for this actually." Trump on voters concern for higher living costs
When ABC News' Terry Moran asked Pres. Donald Trump to respond to voters who may be concerned that rising costs are not what they "signed up for," Trump responded: "Well, they did sign up for this actually."

Note: this should not start and end with Garcia. There are more to come, in the same predicament

Funny to hear this from a nominally Protestant Unionist paper, about a declining North but aight 🤷
Do they want a 26+6?
goddamn it, they deleted it. Apparently, they use Tor and it works on lemmy.ml. What a compliment
I'm confused how you accessed the outside Internet.
Just to ask, tho, why do you post from the instance sh.itjust.works?

Somebody should've shut the Trump admin down before they allowed this intrusion bill.
I mean you don't have to go with the analogy fully, but yeah, that's a deep answer, I suppose.

As Freed Palestinians Describe Torture, Trump OKs $3 Billion Arms Package for Israel | Common Dreams
Biden admin and his VP Harris, has approved so much arms to {the Zionist project}, that at the near end of his term, sent $8 billion weapon sales to them during the Gazan massacres (Only beaten by his previous August 2024 deal of $20 billion.)
Compared to what, there was an agreement that $3.8 billion annually for 2019 to 2028 would be sent, by Trump's admin, albeit under peacetime
(This 3 billion deal is tragically typical of him, unless he increases it more and more, if not surpasses Biden's record, when another war in Gaza breaks out)
For now, the only thing I can say is we should count the amount of time of peace Gaza has. As for the West Bank, truly horrible what they're doing over there.
The same reason why you don't simply eat boiled meat, but mainly eat it in a stew/soup.
It's not exactly a flavor town experience with boiled meat, innit?
I have mixed feelings. On one hand, the USAID bad. On the other, Modi bad (despite potential for multipolar role)
This is the type of social sin God would make the Israelites put into Exodus for, due to their straying from the path
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like many things people say won't be done due to '3 branches of government', yes.
Besides, don't we have the hindsight of precedence?
Canada started phasing out its penny a dozen years ago and urged store owners to round prices to the nearest nickel for cash transactions. Electronic purchases were still billed to the nearest cent. The move came after New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, and others dropped their lowest-denomination coins.
After Canada stopped minting new pennies, it began recycling them for their “valuable” copper and zinc, according to a 2022 report from the Canadian Mint.

Thousands of press releases about decade-old enforcement actions topped search results, all updated with a timestamp from after Trump’s inauguration
News of mass immigration arrests has swept across the US over the past couple of weeks. Reports from Massachusetts to Idaho have described agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) spreading through communities and rounding people up. Quick Google searches for Ice operations, raids and arrests return a deluge of government press releases. Headlines include “ICE arrests 85 during 4-day Colorado operation”, “New Orleans focuses targeted operations on 123 criminal noncitizens”, and in Wisconsin, “ICE arrests 83 criminal aliens”.
But a closer look at these Ice reports tells a different story. That four-day operation in Colorado? It happened in November 2010. The 123 people targeted in New Orleans? That was February of last year. Wisconsin? September 2018. There are thousands of examples of this throughout all 50 states – Ice press releases that have reached the first page of Google search results, making it seem like enforcement actions just happe
The labor market is indeed regulated by that supply and demand. That is a foregone conclusion. However, that doesn't guarantee necessarily higher wages and thus higher quality of life, proportionately speaking.
That itself is a struggle over whether "general profit", after accounting for wages, is reinvested for the social needs, such as housing, food and water, education.
Assuming that "general profit" (savings) + wages (needed for laborers' means of subsistence) = value created.
And assuming wages are sufficient enough for higher quality of life.
But put into the equation the landlords, the shareholders, industrialists that dominate our world by virtue of owning the property that shapes it, who want to depress wages, if it means more "general profit", and direct their savings towards more capital accumulation

Why is it in popular imagining, that ghosts are {MOSTLY} depicted as miserable lonely sad folks that are stuck to the places they've died in?
Can't they discover the world beyond? Weren't they humans; don't they have the mind to move on and focus on something else, since trauma and grief will run its course, sooner or later, and not just haunt the living?
If I were a ghost, I'd be tired of acting like one... even if I was murdered or otherwise died untimely
With the exception of Casper the Ghost, I don't think I've seen the alternative take on it
This presupposes ghosts do exist, though I believe ye skeptics would tell me no, which, alright, you win the argument
I don't know why but I find the term "October Surprise" to be quite amusing? Do you?
