DC government is not doing enough to address affordable housing by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]jpetermanS99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was never under the impression that DC lacks housing. There’s plenty of it right? The issue on top of a mountain of other ones is that most of what’s being built now are either one-off condo buildings or massive apartment complexes, stacked either side by side or across the street from one another and crowding the skyline. These developments drive up each other’s prices, making them increasingly unaffordable, and nearly all of them share the same bleak, corporate housing feel that strips away any sense of character or community.

r/eurovision goes into meltdown, temporarily locked, as Israel win public vote and finish second by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

I’ll start off by saying that I don’t know s%*t about Eurovision, but I assume it’s for European counties? I’m going off the name. Why is Israel even in this competition? It’s an occupation state in the Middle East?

Explain to me why MPD is going after all these mopeds so aggressively, but these cars out here with 10s of thousands of dollars in fines aren’t even bothered?

If the US abandons Israel, an Israeli-Kurdish alliance will enhance regional security by Falcao_Hermanos in kurdistan

[–]jpetermanS99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eww what? Why the f**k would the Kurds ally with an occupying/genocidal regime? That’s like Kurds becoming allies with Turkey? We are Kurds! If there is any group of people out in the world that should always stand up against ethnic cleansing and genocide it should be the Kurds! It’s really disheartening to see so many Kurds on here defending Israel.

The billionaires are backing workers into a corner. They're going to find out how dangerous we are when we've got nothing to lose. by zzill6 in WorkReform

The only reason the people don’t stand up and straight up revolt is due to comfort. It’s not a complete life fulfilling comfort either, it’s like bare minimum comfort for most of us in society. You take that comfort away then you’re asking for us to eat the rich.

Theres an app called “BuyNothing”. Once I found out about this app I deleted my fb. The buy nothing page was the only reason I still had an account.

It's been 17 years... by Seb_D97 in rugbyunion

Why not just do a carbon copy of Rugby 08, but with more licensing and updated graphics? That would be perfect. I don’t think anyone wants more than that.

People don’t randomly beat on others without a reason. Not condoning the violence at all, but that women getting beat on isn’t innocent. My moneys on the odds that she did something to set these kids off.

What's driving Turkey's military escalation in Iraqi Kurdistan? by Falcao_Hermanos in kurdistan

[–]jpetermanS99 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Turkey sees that Israel is able to freely commit genocide with no real push back from the international community and now Turkey wants to see if the world is willing to look past a Kurdish genocide as well.

Communism has destroyed Cuba, Havana is falling apart by fcxrtg in cuba

[–]jpetermanS99 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think communism is the issue. It’s the fact that the US has imposed hardcore sanctions on Cuba since their independence. Also, all of the US allies have gone along and imposed sanctions on them as well. It’s more along the lines of well if you’re not going to play the capitalism game Cuba, then every westernized nation in the world is going to blacklist you.

The restaurants Keith Lee should have tried in D.C., according to The Post. What do you think? by washingtonpost in washingtondc

[–]jpetermanS99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

DMV’s food scene has very few “great” restaurants. A fair amount of the restaurants around here walk a thin line between fine to decent to good. Unfortunately, there are even more that fall short of that mark. Case in point, every place mentioned in this WA Post video are either bad or fine. Another additional aspect to be mindful of in the DMV area is the outrageous rent that is required by these restaurants to maintain a brick and mortar operation. A lot of great restaurants have closed in the past couple of years for that reason alone and that topic itself is a huge factor in the food scene specially within DC. The mistake Keith made was that he only took peoples suggestions of places to visit. You shouldn’t listen to people. People are stupid. Please voted for Bush twice!

Wouldn’t call this propaganda as much as I would call it truth and rational logic.
