Doesn’t anyone ever make the connection that BILLIONAIRES SHOULDN’T EXIST
I don’t mean kill the person or assassinate them … just separate them from their money. The idea of someone owning and controlling so much money and wealth is only detrimental to the rest of humanity.
Get rid of excessive wealth and you will solve 99.9% of the world’s problems. It won’t create a utopia but it would be a hell of a lot better world than what we have now.
A great way to think about all this … replace the country name from Israel to China or even Russia
The world would lose their minds and WWIII would start immediately
Just lay some flowers to the entrance of Hitlers bunker … I think it’s a parking lot now
Money … it’s the differentiator between a Justice system and a Legal system
Definitely old enough to remember 1980s famine relief … and also old enough to remember in the 90s when Bono from U2 saying that the whole famine relief thing was a joke … because they raised enough money in the millions to pay off the interest payments of some of the starving countries FOR ONE YEAR!! … the criticism was that the performers were raising money to feed starving people, while first world countries handed out enormous loans with interest payments that more or less cancelled out any humanitarian aid they gave the countries.
The whole system is a joke … first world countries keep third world countries from developing beyond a certain point to keep them under control to access their resources, then give them humanitarian aid to keep them from starving, while making the same amount of money off them by making them pay for the debt on the loans they gave them.
So in a round about way, first world countries have a hand in keeping African countries starving, but make themselves feel good by giving aid … but make themselves feel even better because they recoup that money and more through loan payments and interest … essentially making money off starving people.
The fuck is wrong with the world?
If headlines flashed a picture of starving children in Africa … someone would help.
If headlines flashed a picture of starving children in Canada … government would step in to do something.
If headlines flashed a picture of starving children in Europe … countries would mobilize to do something.
If headlines flash pictures of starving children in Palestine!!! TURN THE PAGE, nothing to see here, nothing can be done, just ignore it for as long possible, nothing to see here.
Why?
The guys a multi millionaire … it doesn’t matter if he had a come back or not, he’s still a millionaire.
You have to be a moron to want more than that.
Iranian in line at checkout with a cart full of uranium
If my history serves me correct … America is about to tell everyone that Venezuela fired first or attacked them in some way and killed American service men … and now the US has no choice but to defend itself -> by attacking and invading the country.
Oh yeah … this is Arch by the way
50 to 100 years from now? … phew… i can rest easy now … at least all I have to worry about in my lifetime is extreme heat and hurricanes … I’ll let the next generation worry about the mid Atlantic Ocean current failing
Hey it might even start a mini ice age … which would be a good thing because of the global warming right?
Since the last US election … everyday is Taco Tuesday
Same here … all I do is read most of the time … I’m only interested in reading about 2,000 words which shouldn’t take any data … yet Firefox will struggle under the weight of advertising, adblock, scripts, background links, preloading and all kinds of stupidity that I will not and refuse to use.
This is like giving your year old Mercedes Benz to a used car dealer who will trade it in for a 20 year old rusted old half ton truck … and him trying to convince everyone that he made a great deal, the greatest deal in the history of deals.
And everyone in the trailer park cheering as they host a barbecue party to celebrate.
Isreal is not entirely to blame for this historic war crime
The entire western world stood by, watched it happen, lied about it, denied it, funded it, financed it and ignored it until it was so overwhelmingly obvious that they were obligated to say something because history would point out their complicity … but even now, the majority of the western world just cautiously wags a finger at Isreal as ‘one of history’s worst crimes’ continues as the world watches.
It’s like watching someone getting beaten with a baseball bat in public, in full view of everyone … and absolutely no one wants to do anything about it.
This isn’t Israel’s fault … the entire world, all of us are at fault for allowing it to happen.
Not only are we destroying ourselves with global warming … we distract ourselves from that reality by being as inhumane and disgusting to ourselves as possible. We should go extinct … we bring no good to the world or ourselves.
We are so screwed
Nice to know that it only takes billions of dollars worth of tariffs for the country of Canada to act … or 50,000 dead people that didn’t have to die, as well as tens of thousands more that are near starving to death.
Yeah … this isn’t Israel’s fault entirely.
We’re all complicit in this genocide.
They’ll be writing about this event in 50 years and asking why in the fuck the rest of the world just stood by and let a maniacal country just get away with all this. Not just allow them to do it but also fund, support and arm them to do all this.
Isreal is representative of just how depraved our world has become.
I’d ask for the stupid AI scanning system to scan my car before I agree to renting it. Once they sign off on the ‘all clear’ notification from their AI scanner before rental, then I’d consider renting it … but after reading this headline, I’d probably just tell them, I’m spending a few hundred dollars more on renting a car from someone else.
Great point and one I always refer to as well … money and wealth only exist because we all believe it to have value and purpose.
It’s a modern day religion that only exists because we all put our faith and belief in it all.
And just like every ancient faith and belief … if one day enough of us or all of us stop believing in it, all that wealth and power just evaporates and means nothing.
