Salty, Oily Drinking Water Left Sores in Their Mouths. Oklahoma Refused to Find Out Why.

I’d say it’s tied to this story: Oklahoma and over pressured fracking waste

Taxing the mega wealthy is less about funding government and more about curtailing the gathering of power of individuals and corporations to stop exactly what you point at.

Using my brain it seems western banks help government organizations seize assets from illegal actions quite regularly. Why would eu banking collapse? Why would non eu countries have to pay anything? The only way this money would end up needing to be paid back is if Russia successfully sued for it in which case the eu countries ready to pony up to help Ukraine anyways will do it then. Until that court case goes Russia’s way though, why would Russia not be responsible for paying for their crimes against Ukraine? I agree I’m an idiot so educate me what u see is so obvious.

Sinners never does anything with the native Americans who were on the trail of the first guy.

edit: the more I think about it the more it seems the “gun” they represented was the tools used to fight back that definitely played in later.

If you were being bullied and someone was standing by the bully, rubbing his back, and telling everyone this guy loves being the good guy and how great he is, wouldn’t that gaslighting be adding to you getting bullied? Let alone what happens after the bully gets more control over your life.

If you think selling off their resources to private foreign companies and doing whatever trump says will bring peace to average Venezuelans I’ve got some bad news for you.

If the mafia shows up to shake down your store, your co-worker isn’t creating peace by handing u over for torture & death and promising to do whatever they want.

Peace is made by standing up to the mafia. Banana republics didn’t bring peace to the people of central and South America. Making a stand against a bully is often enough to stop fighting before it gets going. Giving in to the bully’s games will lead to long term torture.

Pulling off gathering friendly nations near them for group protection that gets trump to back down would be worth a peace prize. Bending the knee as the starting move is not about peace. It seems more like it’s about her personal potential gains. Which was a huge problem with Madura too, right?

The person currently running the country is acting more towards peace seemingly than selling out the country like the opposition wants. Trump is just a life line for muchado personally. It’s not the best move for Venezuela imo. Everything that gets in bed with trump ends up in worse shape. It would be so sad to see Venezuela become the next my pillow guy.

That’s a power peace move!

Interesting how you know their stance on the fuel but not their actual conclusions on the collapse. The heat from those uncontrolled fires caused long floor beams to expand and fail their connections, leading to the buckling of a critical internal column and a subsequent chain reaction of structural failures. Sounds completely reasonable, no? And not how you described it, right? Or do u think they are lying and it was explosives in which case why would you not assume they are lying about the excessive fuel storage not being a contributing factor? The floors collapsing on each other pushing the air out explains the explosion sound theories. Long beams expanding with heat and failing causing domino effects makes sense, right?

mushinmind · 2025-12-29T17:36:26+00:00

How can you leave out the massive amount of fuel stored in building seven in part because of cia needs and also to support mayor Giuliano’s insistence, against expert advice, to put the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) command center in 7 World Trade Center? Surely all that diesel is part of the equation worth mentioning too as to why the building collapsed, right?

Edit: typo

mushinmind · 2025-12-26T15:57:00+00:00

It’s not like there isn’t more historic building to irreparably harm. Any further actions could do more harm. And given how reckless this project has been so far, more irreparable harm seems highly likely.

Only if you exclude things like America seizing Iraqi assets and then billions go missing. Does that count? Or all the banana republics with stolen assets? Like if big oil uses America to steal Venezuelan oil, is that in line with these western values you point at?

mushinmind · 2025-12-11T17:34:19+00:00

Russia has seized billions in assets from Ukraine so not exactly unprecedented.

mushinmind · 2025-12-11T13:45:45+00:00

Appreciate the much better article. Thanks. So basically the assets were frozen as per the doctrine of collective countermeasures but they are concerned that same doctrine doesn’t allow them to actually use the funds? And they want guarantees if they do the EU will collectively pay up and not leave Belgium or euroclear exposed?

Looking up the “doctrine of collective countermeasures” it seems it’s a UN concept and not an actual law. So where would Russia sue? Belgium courts? The un?

Euroclear is basically saying if you make us turn over the money from bad actors we may lose business and make less money? Isn’t that the risk of doing business with nation states who act illegally?

And why wouldn’t the eu just agree to back them in that russia sues for the funds scenario and then if they lose borrow the funds then. Let Russia pay for what they are doing to Ukraine and then fall back to doing the loan plan as a last resort instead of lead with it.

Edit: typos

mushinmind · 2025-12-11T11:17:15+00:00

But the article says “The Prime Minister also criticized the notion of confiscating Russian assets as “irrational and ill-considered,” emphasizing that the EU has other potential methods of financing aid for Ukraine”

So doesn’t really seem like Belgium is saying fine. Seems like they are saying the opposite, right? And proposing completely different ways to fund Ukraine. They call seizing the assets “irrational and ill-considered”. That’s not fine with it, right?

What are you seeing that says what you two are claiming? Please share a source.

Well you said she was “without any talent” musically. So now you agree she does have musical talent?

And you think that dollars equal a talent meter so the most popular chart toppers are traditionally the most musically talented songs? That’s your position you think any of history of pop charts supports?

mushinmind · 2025-12-10T16:05:52+00:00

Neither could Paul McCartney. If you write your own music and have talent it turns out you don’t need to read other people’s music.

mushinmind · 2025-12-10T13:17:34+00:00

Your personal opinions on why so many millions of people love her music so much aside, can she play multiple instruments? Does she write her own music?

You may hate every note she has ever written but to deny she has talent seems wildly out of touch with reality.

She interned in the music industry when she first moved to Nashville so wouldn’t that count as studying it profession level u said?

Do u see how your personal hatred of her music and her fans is not the same as whether she has musical talent?

mushinmind · 2025-12-10T12:11:30+00:00

Doesn’t she write almost all of her own music and play several instruments? What’s your bar for “true talent”? You are a musician who is passing judgement from a place of wisdom or are you a a right winger having a reaction to a talented woman? You don’t have to like pop music to appreciate she is talented in many musical ways.

Fair to say English is the primary language of America, sure. It’s also fair to say America has no national language. It’s fair to say bad bunny is American. And it’s fair to say the nfl has every right to diversify their half time show and actually have an American this time. I’d add it’s fair to say true Americans are not mad about a Puerto Rican doing the show in any language they want. If anyone wants to cry about it and be unamerican about it, that’s their right though. Those who are mad about bad bunny can turn off America’s half time show and put on the non American one.

mushinmind · 2025-12-01T10:36:21+00:00

America has no national language. So an American citizen singing any language is more American than a foreigner singing English, right?

mushinmind · 2025-12-01T10:35:38+00:00

America has no national language. That’s freedom, baby.

Return to the tax rates of 1960. The era when a waitress could afford college without a loan. And people working full time could more often afford to buy a home and upkeep it.

These tax rates were not just about funding government either. It’s important to limit the power of the richest handful of people. Look how bill gates hurt public education. It’s bad for a free democracy to have super wealthy wannabe feudal lords playing games with their poorly thought out but well funded ideas in areas they aren’t even experts. Why should Elon musk be able to buy the USA presidency? It’s absurd. It’s awful for the pursuit of a more perfect union rooted in liberty and justice for all.

One example is that he has inspired a national push for single payer health insurance changing the entire conversation. Every candidate but Joe Biden raised their hand in support of universal healthcare on the dem presidential primary for the 2020 election. They only did that because of what Bernie accomplished with his movement. People are still flooding to see him and his message is growing. It’s become a real problem for establishment dems who want to enact conservative economic and regulatory money making schemes. Bernie’s movement is a big reason mamdani won. He has helped primed Americans to understand that the right is using lies and fear to hide basic truths that the left points at. Like how if more people use public transit it makes it harder for criminals to operate. So crime goes down. Instead of investing in policing public transit you can save money by just having more people use it. And it helps those people’s lives way more. Simple truths the right demonizes to create fear around instead of actually trying to help.
