@TheChaosWeeber Take home pay of the couple with $150k income is $90k. $60k of that goes to mortgage and various house expenses such as taxes, utilities and repairs. With the $30k remaining, a family of 4 can barely afford groceries.
@profstonge Meanwhile, money supply has increased by 60 times so the workers' buying power is half what it used to be. Not because he's half as good. At the same time, his rich masters have accumulated 600 times more wealth.
@tparsi This war aligns with everything else trump administration does: continuing the American policy with *transparency*. That's the main difference.
@KimDobranski You're barking at the wrong tree, dude. China has a far superior healthcare system than both Canada and the US. Cuba too! The issue in Canada is not the system. It's corruption, incompetence and mis-management.
@Cubbymom3@AlexRoy144 Greed is the number 1 cause. There are other factors, but it all starts with greed. There's a reason the 10 Commandments specifically name greed as the root cause of all evil.
Boy George is not supporting Jews
He is supporting Israel
Many Jews, like me, strongly oppose Israelโs war crimes, crimes against humanity and GENOCIDE
Conflating Jews and Israel is antisemitic
@profstonge This is from 2021. Already, Chinese emissions are less than EU, including transport. By 2031, those numbers will be less than half for China but EU's numbers will remain the same.
Saying "I'm not into politics" is just saying "I support status quo politics." It's saying you endorse all the violence, exploitation, ecocide and abuse of the current order.
Politics are always happening all around you in every moment of every day, whether you are "into" it or not. Everything you do in your everyday life is pervasively shaped by local and national laws, by economic systems, by oligarchy, by propaganda, by war, by militarism, by imperialist extraction, by government regulations and the lack thereof. Saying you don't feel like paying attention to these factors is just saying you're fine with the way they are presently happening.
It's like if every time a family sat down to a meal the son took all the daughter's food and the parents did nothing about it, saying "I'm not into politics" whenever the issue came up. The daughter would conclude that her parents were fine with her brother's behavior, and that they did not care about her as a person. And she would be correct. Their inaction and indifference would be just as consequential as any actions they might take, and just as revealing of their personal character.
Politics are always happening to you. You have no say in this. The only thing you get a say in is what actions you will take to change the way they are happening.
