Yeah...

But they're idiots.

There's not enough jobs to go around, people won't quietly starve. And the only people with anything to steal from are the wealthy.

They just created a shit ton of people with literally nothing to lose.

The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

That part just means they have to talk about it...

Like if I walked up to you and said I wanted your house. You 100% can say no, but we just had a dialogue about it

That meets the obligation

Upon the signing of this M.O.U., the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

...

Literally saying Iran can charge tolls for any traffic thru the strait....

That's a fucking huge amount of economic power, and everyone has to pay whatever they demand

None of it is effective and most of it is literally just to say someone is complying and using AI...

actually have to been at least a decent actor

Lol

Her father was an investment banker who retired at 40, got bored and became a world champion powerboat racer — and she rode with him,

Didn't know she was a nepo baby, but it makes sense.

Most actors these days came from money and just had Daddy finance their first projects.

Her magically getting a lead part in a movie by a first time director with no money and then suddenly being able to pump out a high quality independent movie picked up by a24...

It's the same path the Mara's took.

Rich kid wants to act, so their dad funds movies until people accept their kids a movie star.

Like most things in society, average people just can't compete with that.

Fuck that rightwing slop article.

Why the actual fuck is anyone posting faux news?

claiming he was suffering from extreme emotional disturbance when he gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a judge said Wednesday.

I'd rather see the argument that it was the only logical response to an illogical environment.

It's not that "everyone's going crazy" these days, it's that corporations and oligarchs aren't withholding their end of the social contract, and forcing the cognitive dissonance on everyone that we still need to follow it will continue to lead to events like this.

It's bigger than Luigi and whatever that CEOs name was.

This is just how people will react when they no longer believe society has their backs. And modern American society 100% does not have anyone's back except oligarchs and corporations.

But the effect of the shooter's actions is quantifiable and resulted in claims getting approved and a shit ton of lives saved.

Like, that's going to be the big sticking point of this trial, it's a trolley problem jury trial. I still think he's getting off, even if they can prove it was him.

Yep...

That was the entire point of my comment.

trump isn't loyal to anyone over himself. Biden would (and did) but Israel over not just America but his own career. Israel literally can't buy that loyalty from any other politician.

If you try to buy trump off, it's like the unhoused people in South Park, as soon as you hand him money he pretends it never happened and asks again.

Biden was a zionist through and through.

That's my point...

Biden was very open about the reason he'd give Israel anything, was a conversation he had with his dad as a very small child which boiled down to: the Jewish people have been treated even worse than Catholics, no matter what happens you have to always support Israel because they'll come for Catholics next.

Regardless of anything else, Biden will always be 100% loyal to Israel because of that

trump doesn't give a fuck about Israel if the arrangement is no longer profitable to him personally, he's out.

So Israel was better off with Biden/Kamala, because Kamala would be 100% loyal to Israel for just the money. But we will never have a more Israel aligned president than Biden, and Bibi is a fucking idiot for not doing all he could to get Biden a second term because of that
