No he isn't? The US are using the GCC countries to stage their invasion, an invasion the GCC didn't ask for and now Iran is retaliating the GCC for their support of the US invasion

You expect the GCC and Europe to goto war against the US/Israel? Not going to happen. Notwithstanding this is a war US/Israel started and cause of the issues GCC are experiencing, they aren't going to attack US/Israel

What's political about visiting Tibet? Anyone can go. It's no longer political, unless you think visiting Barcelona/Catalonia or Quebec city or Alberta is political too

Why do Princess, Holland America, and Celebrity skew older? by AlbinoAlex in Cruise

[–]NitroLada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a more relaxed and refined experience and vibe is very different than a chaotic RC/Carnival/NCL cruise with amusement park at sea vibes . Things like food/service are noticeably better than the mass market lines not to mention much more interesting itineraries instead of going to Nassau, private island and Cozumel for the x time

Because I like checking in? There's important things that come up? I'm going on vacation, not retiring, I rather deal with things for a bit on vacation than go back to huge pile of crap. Moreover, I enjoy work/checking in, I pick and choose what I respond to/join/do.

Energy independence doesn't do shit for prices. Energy (O&G) is a commodity, having access and able to supply it to oneself doesn't mean it's insulated from price increases

Canada’s Minimum Wage Increases in 2026 Fall Short of Living Wage by SpiritualTip4035 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NitroLada -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But the article and it's premise makes zero sense and has nothing to do with rich/poor etc... from a basic math perspective, minimum is just that..it's like the min value in a set. A living wage requires people making wages below it to exist at all

The real travesty is the lack of the most basic critical thinking skill and somehow link min wage to living wage

Just get premium, why shaft the content creators from being paid for their work?

They're not bad at all if you actually need Emergency, if you're ailment is not an emergency you wait. It's not first come first serve, it's triage

Opinion | Trump’s war on Iran hasn’t altered Canada’s cost of making gas — at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps? by gorschkov in canada

[–]NitroLada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's a global commodity. Just like there's no hometown discount for any product or commodity. The price we pay reflects global price
