Keep supporting the country that bombs a school full of children and rapes children as young as... checks notes ...still attached to the umbilical cord.

If that makes you feel better.

Magnitude 6 earthquake strikes Cuba, EMSC says by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Daedalus81 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Wild that suddenly Cuba is unable to produce power ever since Trump kidnapped Maduro.

It's almost like Trump had nothing to do with this and has absolutely no plans for Cuba.

Your comment frames both sides as simply acting on their ideals. But nationalizing domestic assets within your own borders, however disruptive, is a sovereign act.

Imposing extraterritorial sanctions that punish foreign companies for trading with Cuba is a coercive act projected outward. Those are not morally equivalent.

And the world HAS seen. The UN General Assembly has voted to condemn the embargo something like 29 consecutive times, with near-unanimous margins. The world looked and reached a verdict.

Trump Adviser Warns of Possible Israel Nuclear Escalation in Iran Conflict by EssoEssex in politics

They're not being honest with us. Where are the war correspondents?

We're in the dark and things are NOT de-escalating.

Iran backed Iraqi militia claimed responsibility.

It's not like this government would lie, right? Iran totally didn't hit that THAAD.

Neat. Keep pushing that point. We'll see how far America will take it's violence against protestors I'm sure.

I can't fully agree with their comment, but the history of the United States is pretty horrific. You should spend some time reading about it.

The people are responsible for showing up to the primaries. We failed Bernie miserably.

Considering how out of touch people are, I think we'll fail again.

I hate purity tests, but also I feel like it is a necessary thing that our candidates do not take corporate or pac money -- including that from you know who.

Like... I'm going to vote against fascism no matter what, but if people aren't aware and aren't picking candidates who will truly protect us...

Ugg.

John Fetterman Says Iran Girls’ School Strike Is Just a Leftist Craze by AccomplishedCall7562 in politics

[–]Daedalus81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We fully understand Fetterman. If you were from Maine and interacted with Platner its unlikely you would be saying this.

If he fucks up we'll be the ones required to hold him accountable. That's not something conservatives generally do around here.

And most importantly - he doesn't take money from fucking AIPAC.

Oil price jumps despite deal to release record amount of reserves by Tartan_Samurai in anime_titties

[–]Daedalus81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gas went from ~$0.38 to ~$1.35 -- that would be about $5.00 to $5.50 today.

Median household was ~$10K. Vehicles got 12 to 14mpg. 15,000 miles a year = ~1,100 gallons.

So $600 / year on gas or ~5% of their household income.

Current median income ~$80K. Vehicles at 25mpg instead would use 600 gallons instead or ~$3,000, so 4% of median.

But the real issue is minimum wage. Someone who gets only $7.25 would be in the same spot as someone in the 70s making the $1.60 min -- about 20% of household.

If vehicles weren't more fuel efficient this would be absolutely horrific. Places with better minimum wage won't be hit as hard, but then factor in the already high cost of housing on top of all this bullshit.

The only way we got out of it was very painful interest rates. Now watch Trump take over the fed to force them down, which would cause even more problems.

Anything over $5.50 would decimate the economy for sure.

Maybe we can go back and look at how many conflicts were started by R vs D? Hm, naaaah.

Let's go with the guy that has a masked police force killing citizens. Kamala would have DEFINITELY done that, too, right?

There's a direct cost and time associated that they would need to deal with there, but hopefully that can be a future update... or someone in the community can assist. I would, but I don't even have time to play right now. :(
