How dare some people make an obviously correct moral decision that highlights my own inadequacies?
Seriously though, I’m not even slightly vegan. I’m just also not a total fucking moron.
We should do one for regular diets where it goes from ignorantly contributing to animal suffering to torturing them yourself and then diabetes and colon cancer.
The supreme kangaroo court of the United States. SKCOTUS.
It would be so easy to tackle the offshoring of US tax funds.
- Implement better tax laws.
- Billionaires attempt to leave the country with their ill-gotten booty.
- Send Seal Team Six after them like Bin Laden. Drop bombs if you have to. The word “billionaire” should be synonymous with “terrorist.”
- Problem solved.
The fun part is we can’t even fuck up our image on the world stage because Trump already did that.
Miscarriages account for around 50% of pregnancies, though some studies put them as high as 75%, since most people don’t realize they’ve miscarried if it’s early enough.
The subhumanity of forced-birthers is unimaginable. Literally. We cannot imagine what state of mind could produce this anti-abortion obsession, because no sane mind would ever do so.
Whereas all corporations are fundamentally concerned with the bottom line, you should shop at those whose actions are ostensibly less evil. Even if Target’s commitment to these issues in the past was merely performative, that performance should be rewarded.
I thought it was because they were all dying and fertilizing the soil with their corpses.
Anyone know? Super curious.
These things take time
VOA takes money from US taxpayers, not the Trump administration. Criticizing Trump is about as pro-American as that news organization can get.
Ah yes, Bernie Sanders, diehard Joe Biden fan famously indifferent to the plight of common folk. /s
Your critical self-reflection is the rarest characteristic of wisdom in these dark times. You actually care about the truth.
In the early 20th century, about 50 years before Norway discovered oil, they were already per capita among the richest countries in Europe. This was because of their culture of land and resource sharing.
I’ve never met an actual Christian in America. They’re all fake as fuck, and there’s nothing about abortion in the Bible. It’s one of the easiest moral questions, one that ethicists don’t even bother to debate anymore: no, we shouldn’t force women and children to give birth to rape babies. wtf.
Sure, that’s one practical aspect of money that lends itself to superficial quantitative analysis. But it’s not the whole picture. Money is fundamentally about the power to get people to do things for you. That’s what it represents. With money I can force people to give me things and do things for me, almost like magic.
Now the origins of money is rooted in debt (and power). When a ruling body exercises a monopoly on violence over a region, it can offer promissory notes (IOUs) that others value, because they have faith that this ruling body can force its citizens to work by extracting taxes from them.
Check out “Debt: The Last 5000 Years,” or similar anthropological work on the origins of money.
Keeping consumers alive as a class is indirectly encouraged in capitalism.
All they want is money, which has nothing to do with consumers whatsoever. Corporations could extract money by devouring each other, or by taking over a nation state, or by hijacking a treasury department, or by issuing their own money a la crypto. Remember that money is an abstraction (or an instrument) of power. Violently subjugating a region is tantamount to possessing that power (which we call money), or the ability to make others do what you want.
