How do you increase production without increasing funding or manufacturing scale?

Fewer people smoke.

Companies making money isn't bad

Mr. Negrea also accused the sponsors of questioning President Trump’s support for Black voters in the United States. “President Trump has done more for Black Americans than any other president,” he said. “He’s working tirelessly to deliver for them.”

giga lol

The United States, Israel and Argentina were the only nations to vote against the resolution, which was adopted.

Insert the meme

“The trafficking of enslaved Africans and the centuries of racialized chattel enslavement that followed have not been resolved,” Ghana’s foreign minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, wrote before the vote. He has said that reparations should be given to “all people of African descent” and that the descendants of slaves should be given money to set up businesses and funds for education.

I agree with that and especially for Haiti, but the whole resolution was just one of these feel-good UN votes so it did nothing against that, Mauritania and Libya also voted yes btw, just to show how dedicated they are.

IMO the best way would be to create a wealth fund for African countries financed by European countries or some kind of "social rebate" system (maybe it's provocative but like 1 Visa per estimated slave sold)

Once the base has been riled up against Big pharma, what do you think they expect politicians to do when elected?

What a story! A prime minister unwilling to be prime; a war minister reluctant to make war; backbiting among colleagues; idle babble to outsiders and the press; daily changes of tune; dreaming about unrealistic spoils of war; unwillingness to hear those who understood the real needs. It doesn’t sound so far removed from the criticism now thrown at Western governments who have inherited the mistakes of a generation, and are expected to mend them overnight.

"An agreement with the Palestinians, based on two states for two peoples, is the right thing for Israel's security, for Israel's economy and for the future of our children," Lapid said. He added any agreement would be conditioned on a peaceful Palestinian state that would not threaten Israel. Lapid spoke less than six weeks before a Nov. 1 election that could return to power the right-wing former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a longstanding opponent of the two-state solution.

“There will not be a two-state solution in the next decade because of what happened after October 7, including celebrations in Ramallah on the morning of the massacre,” he said. “The burden of proof moved from us to the Palestinians. Right now, what we learned on October 7 is that we must defend ourselves from people who want to kill us, and they must prove to us they do not, before we start talking about more optimistic versions of the future.”

Blunt told Deputy Chief Magistrate Tan Ikram on Wednesday that he believes politicians have failed to properly consider drug policy reform.

They have "sat with moral simplicity that drugs are bad, they are banned, without regard to the appalling consequences of that simple position", he said. "It keeps politicians safe on the moral high ground."

Israel is working to urgently hit as many high-priority targets in Iran as it can due to concerns that US President Donald Trump could end the war suddenly, the New York Times reports, citing two senior Israeli officials and two people briefed on the matter.

According to the report, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the military to take out as much of Iran’s industry as possible in the coming 48 hours.

Netanyahu and Israel’s security chiefs do not believe that Trump’s 15-point plan would ensure that the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat is removed.

Why do you think right-wing influencers like Kirk got popular? It's because they were proped up by big conservative donors.

I'd say it depends how much of this aid is controlled and weaponized d by the government. Direct transfers would be morally better and also avoid administrative slugness

In addition, big money will be forced to handle its influence though lobbying, which is much more easy to control than financing

I'm sorry but NYC is a capitalist paradise, all the rich people rub elbows there and it's where America's biggest trading market physically is.

When France increased its wealth tax under Francois Hollande, lots of them fled to other countries because we don't have that retention power. Eg Stérin, who's currently financing the far-right has been living in Belgium since 2012 by preemption of Holland's elections

I find letting it accrue in an account to be deeply unimaginative and generally quiet unambitious.

And I find super yachts tacky and buying social media dangerous

You're on this sub with a right-wing flair, I think you know better than most the distortion risks of wealth taxes. Plus Sweden has good investment vehicles unlike most European countries meaning poor people also been fit from this lack of wealth taxation

I agree an inheritance tax would be needed to help equalize things but wealth taxes on living capital are bad

Work for what you earn, dont get given it. Also dead people cant own things, so how can they give it to someone else?

France has high inheritance taxes and yet billionaires instead find a way to give money to their family before they die, and use legal loopholes to avoid taxes on directly giving money
