Well, it sounds like they were at least half a million dollars in debt.

Drove off a bunch of big donors.

Lost their original headquarters.

Burned valuable time.

Thrown the party into civil war.

And that is just the stuff we know about.

Geopolitics at work, as ugly as it is. Diplomacy and Peace are all but impossible at this point, unless a miracle or three happens.

**Hamas is too ingrained and supported in Palestine to stop attacking Israel.

Israel too much in a blood rage and conquest to stop their assault on Palestine.**

Calling for calm or the end of the violence will hardly stop or improve anything, and more than likely show how ineffective America is. Let alone aggravating all sides.

So......they stay quiet and see how things play out whilst managing things the best they can. Biden has called to help civilians, so at least there's that.

I don't see this ending unless all of Palestine or Israel is gone.

Reports coming in that McCarthy allies are trying to get Dem support.

No dice so far...

Losing a chunk (5%) of their satellites in a couple months, sounds like they got roughly a 5 year expectancy, doesn't sound so good.

They would have to constantly be launching them. How expensive is this and can they realistically make a profit? I don't see it being easy.

I’ll admit it. I do listen to her songs.

Unfortunately, as long as the lights stay on, air conditioning keeps blasting, grocery store stays stocked, and entertainment remains flowing then people won't do anything.

The people who could do something would make them lose the next election, be labeled terrorists, or start get harping on "won't you think of the economy!"

Progress is being made, but drastic measures needed to happen decades ago. The question is now how quickly and badly will things get, and how well we can manage it....

I already lost Roe v Wade cause "progressives" cutting off their nose in spite.

Even if Hilary lost, that was no excuse to let Republicans take over the senate or elsewhere. Which they did.

Even back in my more "libertarian" days I still voted for Hilary cause what I knew could happen. And it did happen.

Edit: Turns out Bernie/Progressive voters really did come out a lot for Hilary, which lead to the popular vote wins. I was wrong. Sorry.

Correct.

2 years and younger is recommended to not wear a mask for those reasons.

The parent might not realize it and trying to protect there baby, but this is a classic case of good intentions leading to unintended outcomes.

Macron is going to have an anarchist state if he keeps this up and makes these volatile choices and statements. My gosh.

[-] snipgan@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

They still will claim fraud regardless. Voting by mail or other methods allowed are available and easier. Just remember to do it.

[-] snipgan@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

Man these conservative justices are getting paid and treated nice and fancy.....

So far I haven't heard nearly the same for the liberal/democrat appointed ones....

Almost like there's a specific side the rich and powerful are trying to sway......
