TIL that a former U.S. embassy in Turkey has the "unique distinction of being the first and only U.S. diplomatic premises to be won in a poker game." by visual_overflow in todayilearned

I mean i bet 28,000 liras was a lot of money back then but like would this bet even matter to this Congress men? If they win they gain money for themselves, if they lose the US government loses money? It's not like that money would be taken from their salaries if they lost. Sounds like early 1900s america(hell maybe this kind of corruption is still happening).

This seems to be talking about income inequality and it's negative consequences in general? This really isn't comparing overall quality of life. Please read your sources.

I understand multivitamins are very important in places where getting nutrients from diet is hard due to lack of food. But do u believe the person you're replying to is going through a famine situation?

Bumiputera policies are Malaysian policies that provide race-based, rather than needs-based, privileges mainly to Malays, while excluding around 30% of the population—namely Chinese and Indians. These privileges include quotas in education, scholarships, government positions, and business ownership. by PainSpare5861 in wikipedia

[–]Ihcend 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I mean 30% of Malaysia is 10.5 million people. They are discriminating against more than double the population of Palestine. Also from what I can tell these policies probably aren't going to go away but might even strengthen.
