This asshole destroyed the public option, then a few years later my life was destroyed by medical bankruptcy.

It is sad that he got to live a full life surrounded by loved ones. He deserved so much worse.

Rest in piss, you wont be missed.

I dont understand why Israel, deeply reliant on US military assistance for its defense, also routinely humiliates the US in public.

The document said several UNRWA Palestinian staffers had been detained by the Israeli army, and added that the ill-treatment and abuse they said they had experienced included severe physical beatings, waterboarding, and threats of harm to family members

So UN employees were abducted and tortured, then forced to repeat Israel's propaganda line, in an attempt to justify their whole genocidal endeavor.

JDAM-equipped bombs hit a target with an error range of only 20 feet.

Israel has full air control, as well as numerous spy satellites to monitor Gaza in real time.

I believe the attacking force does care exactly where their strikes hit. This is deliberate.

Its hard to think of anything more heroic than going overseas to run a charity kitchen in a famine-stricken warzone.

There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.

The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.

If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.

The doctors say the government should first address pay and working conditions before trying to increase the number of physicians.

Vote for who? I always do my duty and vote for the lesser of the two evils, and they all turn out to be war criminals.

Is price the only concern? Seems like too narrow of a focus.

Maybe try sorting by "lifespan", as nuclear facilities last 3-4x longer.

You could try sorting by "crude oil usage", as each turbine needs 60 gallons of high synthetic oil to function, each needs an oil change every 6 months.

Would be interesting to sort by "birds killed" or "acres of habitat destroyed"

I'm not saying nuclear is necessarily better, that is a difficult calculation. But we got ourselves into this climate change disaster by short-sightedly "sorting by price". Perhaps spending more money for a long term investment would be more wise than always going with the cheapest option.

We used to be world leader in education, then we defunded our schools.

We used to lead the world in scientific research, but the funding was cut.

We used to have the world's best infrastructure, then we stopped investing, now its crumbling.

We used to support social mobility and home ownership, now most can't afford rent.

Spending money to fight climate change is looked down upon as an unrealistic hippy fantasy.

But somehow we always have a blank check for war.

Its manufacturing consent .

The US state department picked a side in this conflict over 3 decades ago. The state-run media like PBS and NPR pick up the propaganda lines naturally. The national media such as NYT and NBC value their state dept contacts and armed forces advertisement dollars more than they value journalistic integrity.

After 30 years of the manufacturing consent feedback loop, here in the US we end up with a national media ecosystem that is more sycophantic to Israel than even the Israeli media. Haaretz features dissenting opinions that you can't find in national US media.

This metaphorical frog started boiling decades ago, finally most of the water is boiling off and it's really starting to stink.

When Palestinians unjustifiably kill 100s of civilians, we cut their aid.

When Israel unjustifiably kills 100s of civilians, we increase their aid.
