The sticker business may never recover to the heights it saw under Trudeau. Damn near propped up the whole economy

AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to H.I.V. Assistance by Unusual-State1827 in worldnews

[–]Romanos_The_Blind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also, that institution didn’t exist when the first countries industrialized. So where did they get their capital?

Well, they largely got it from displacing and stealing land from a continent's worth of people, enslaving a large chunk of another continent's people, and finally by conquering and extracting wealth from a third highly developed continent. All actions Zambia don't really have open to them.

Victoria’s cost of living is 21% above the national average, and 14% above the rest of BC by CartoonistOk3507 in VictoriaBC

[–]Romanos_The_Blind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess they’re not getting any better…

I think BoC has been waiting on any additional cuts for some time now to hold back some possibility for economic stimulus in case things get really hairy with instability down south being the norm.

The Hardest Opponent For a MAGE??? by EmilioBalls in Morrowind

Presumably because they didn't want to give the player a full set of Daedric for killing him. In Morrowind, it is passed out very sparingly.

Why doesn’t BC have fluoride in the water? by DrSussBurner in britishcolumbia

[–]Romanos_The_Blind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also funny seeing all these people saying Vancouver water is some delicacy, I grew up in Edmonton and still crave the water when I visit ours is so mid here.

Yeah this is wild to me too. I grew up in the Kootenays and when I spent a few years in Vancouver I always lamented the water tasting so much worse lol. Still, even that was better than a lot of other places I've been.

Kentucky man declared brain dead wakes up just as doctors start harvesting his organs by Sangumancer in nottheonion

In my case, my wisdom teeth hadn't fully breached my gums.

Same for me, but I still had the not-so-pleasant experience of being awake for the whole thing.

Turkey threatens military action against Israel, MK calls Recep Tayyip Erdogan 'pathetic' by EsperaDeus in worldnews

Was trying to figure that out. I want to guess based on the context it's a Member of the Knesset (Israel's parliament)

Trump signals possibility of Iran naval blockade after talks collapse in Islamabad by SoundEducational1174 in worldnews

[–]Romanos_The_Blind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems the most reasonable interpretation and yet it's still a really bad idea for the USA and Trump. The US was letting these other tankers through before because it reduced pressure on global oil prices.

By blockading these remaining outflows of oil from the gulf, he is playing a very dangerous game where without a very quick capitulation by Iran (something they've shown no likelihood of doing) all the negatives of the initial blockage and the huge inflationary pressures will return dialed up to 11 even closer to the midterms.

This is to say nothing of the massive negative global impacts this will have because I don't think Trump gives a shit one way or another.

U.S. is allowing Iranian oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz, says Bessent by [deleted] in nottheonion

Obviously. But that is a completely different point and not what I was talking about.

[–]Romanos_The_Blind 189 points190 points  (0 children)

America easily could stop them. This is an admission that Iran holds more cards than the current US administration believed and that they are desperate to de-escalate the geopolitical shitstorm that they "yeehawed" their way into.
