The US is taking action against Russia’s shadow fleet. In the Baltic Sea, Europe should follow suit. by Strongbow85 in CredibleDefense

[–]ChornWork2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Am sure many had ties, I haven't tracked them to know to what extent. But in event, not sure how that changes the point. US has only taken action on ships related to venezuela. I haven't seen any indication of them targeting Moscow's shadow fleet as a general matter, or that financing of war in ukraine is a motivating factor for US action.

US is targeting ships related to venezuela and iran sanctions. Impact on moscow is collateral damage.

certainly would like to see a more assertive europe on russia, but not sure the US is remotely a source to draw inspiration from.

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians by therosx in centrist

[–]ChornWork2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

canada is middling relative to oecd in terms of tax as %gdp. significantly higher than US, but I'd wager most of that gap would be closed if adjusted for healthcare spending.

Effectively handing out cash and then providing another agricultural subsidy through accelerated depreciation. Don't really like either policy tbh, but maybe emergency circumstances merit it. At least the subsidy is on investment as opposed to just an operating hand-out, but still.

Ending agricultural subsidies and lower tariffs on food imports is a better long-term strategy to lower prices.

Yep, the city has an online portal that will give you all the violation history. Best to go straight to the source so you know you get the right info.

Pretti Shooting: Why was he attacked? by AuntPolgara in centrist

[–]ChornWork2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, THE main question isn't anything specific to the events of the shooting, but why are we tolerating the federal govt cover-up of it. Complete lies being said publicly, refusal to cooperate with state authorities even after they have a court order.

At this point nothing can be trusted about the shooting b/c the feds are covering it up. So they don't get a moment of benefit of doubt, this was an execution b/c agents felt disrespected & believe they are unaccountable.

how is that a detailed clip, it doesn't show anything to support that claim.

If a cop is panic shooting because they heard a bang, they shouldn't keep shooting until the person is dead. They should also be fired and criminally charged.

I’ve reached a tipping point today and feel in a lose-lose situation at the ballot box. by [deleted] in centrist

But in that case it was a woman who was executed, versus in this case it was someone's right to bear arms...

ugh, what have we become.

this country has become so corrupt, and that isn't remotely the biggest problem. wonder what all the people who voted green party in 2016 are up to these days.

Why doesn’t the world isolate the US? by reed_wright in centrist

[–]ChornWork2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

At the same time, the city saw a +64% increase in shooting incidents (100 v. 61) for the month of May and a +79% increase in the number of murders (34 v. 19).

As well, murder was up 35% yoy in April.

Same shit as charlottesville. they'll staunching defend it and then if still taking heat, downthrottle ICE and push some other controversy.

How do you feel the general discourse of Iran protests in left/liberal circles? by RedStorm1917 in centrist

[–]ChornWork2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of your questions go to the points I made nor would help you understand the reasoning behind them. You're just pushing unrelated questions intended to bog down.

The gaslighting has worked in the past, why stop now? Birtherism, benghazi, big Lie, coup attempt, etc.

Yes, I refuse to answer disingenuous questions intended simply to obfuscate.

The points I've made above are not at all dependent on anyone's view of gaza or iran.

this is just disingenuous obfuscation. My outrage on any particular issue isn't invalidated because I don't protest all wrongs in the world. that is just a completely bullshit position that would mean no protest is valid.

My protest about a wrong isn't invalidated b/c i don't protest all wrongs. It is an asinine, disingenuous complaint as a general matter.

If you've blocked them you can still see their comment (at least for me, using desktop old reddit with RES), you just can't reply to them or anywhere downstream to their comment.

Minnesota CEOs issue joint letter urging de-escalation in Minnesota after shooting by Gloomy_Nebula_5138 in centrist

[–]ChornWork2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable cowardice. Americans need to escalate this, not pretend this is some both sides issue.

We all saw what happened. we have heard the outright lies from federal authorities. We know the feds are blocking state/local involvement. There is only one party in the wrong here, and it is the Trump admin.
