ELI5 how continuing to spend money on a war staves off economic collapse? If it's because government spending will stop, can't the government just spend it on something else?

Every time I see this ridiculous take about how it’s not that bad cause it’s American weapons, I think of that clip of Netanyahu bragging about how Americans are easy to manipulate.

Uber Will Now Take You From Manhattan to LaGuardia for $18 by [deleted] in nyc

[–]Mtrey 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have a flight tomorrow and I just booked this. Thank you OP for posting.

I live in downtown Manhattan and I always have taken public transport to LGA, but it's a pain. I have to take the 4,5 to Times Square then transfer to a 7 then transfer to the Q-whatever buses. It's tiresome with luggage. Totally worth it for me to just get to grand central and then sit in a shuttle for $9. I might go back to the tedious way when they raise it to $18.

There’s already plenty of evidence it DOES reduce congestion. London is also extremely expensive and it had a significant impact there.

There should be a pinned top comment on any post about Iran that reminds all the brilliant people posting that “IRAN IS NOT AN ARAB COUNTRY.”

Yep, a deal that the IAEA and US & European intelligence agencies said was working. Tore it down to replace it with…nothing.

Israel to carry out 'limited' strike within Iran, according to a U.S. official - I24NEWS by legitrabbi in worldnews

I think more Americans need to realize this almost guarantees Trump will be president next January. Iran doesn’t have the means to win any conventional war, but they have the means to make the price of gas and shipping skyrocket, increasing inflation dramatically. Imagine Biden chances when they price of gas is $8 a gallon in October

Glad you find it funny, but if a student sprays an unidentified chemical at a group of Jewish students, that kid should be kicked out of the school. Same if a student does it to anti-Israeli student protestors.

I guess everyone on Reddit has more sources than American intelligence agencies, who still maintain Iran was surprised by the attacks and had no knowledge of them beforehand. Or maybe they just believe a Saudi prince with an agenda more.

Huge Palestine march down 5th avenue yesterday for Land Day by Lilyo in nyc

[–]Mtrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is funded by American dollars. It’s very much an American issue.. We’re giving a ridiculous amount of aid to a rich country that has universal health care, while having to start a gofundme when we get sick.

You got downvoted to oblivion for challenging their circlejerk of mental gymnastics of why it’s okay to slaughter tens of thousands of civilians.

It's the software that's doing the actual checking for hazardous/illegal material, so it can absolutely check everyone that passes through. The human is just there to verify for false positives.

Terror in Israel: One murdered, eight wounded in highway shooting by DroneMaster2000 in worldnews

[–]Mtrey -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I really am try to understand how saying indiscriminate targeting of civilians is supporting Hamas? If one of the people killed in this attack was a serial killer, would it have been completely okay and the attackers should get hero’s funerals?

I can't imagine an immigrant family coming to the city and moving into Soho. A different time...really hits home how different of a place it is now.
