@DavidSacks LOL -- "like all companies". Like, perhaps, for example, @Smith_WessonInc -- holding back all its products? or @Raytheon, making sure all its products are withheld so they can't cause death and destruction? Regulation is 1000% necessary, or shut the whole thing down.
@SecScottBessent@SenWarren Actually, technically, you're wrong @SecScottBessent. Insofar as a country's currency (inc JPY, USD, etc) has printed upon the physical notes and coins that '[CountryX] will pay bearer upon presentment' -- in effect, it's an IOU. So Japan does functionally 'owe' Tsy something.
@Losingoberm5nv Cept deliberate monopolization is, or should be, illegal. It's also almost universally at the expense of the little guy, consumers, the vulnerable, the poorest -- so this 'strategy' is, like most of Thiel's half baked 'philosophy', unfair/immoral/illegal.
@ChristopherHale Like most of what you say/think, pretty sure neither the pope, regular caring catholics, nor actually pretty much anyone, cares. If you'd spent one minute thinking about it before going out with this nonsense clickbait, you'd know Popes CONTINUALLY preach about war and poverty
@CapitalViper@AlboMP How dare you speak for people you don't know, who you're wrong about, and who would despise--as would Michael Tate--your pathetic, small, idiotic, and selfish comment. Say it on another thread, "Viper". Or better yet, don't.
@Sentry1161@AlboMP On what possible planet is this an appropriate or respectful, or even minimally human, post--thread is a TRIBUTE to a JUST DECEASED statesman, with surviving family & friends, who devoted his literal entire life to helping others. You have no shame. Deporable, hateful, pathetic.
@IonaCThomas Good work, Governor! (Proclaiming the new monarch in right of the United Kingdom and his "other territories", rather than as Monarch of New Zealand; and doing so in your vice-regal capacity as Governor, rather than High Commissioner, right gov?)
@dvir_yadai@radiodarom97 The irony of him complaining that he wasn't allowed a glass of water, while he's literally been so abusive to prisoners that independent military investigators (not Gazans, not terrorists: senior IDF police) notice the injuries, and his own colleagues confirm his violent abuse.
@dvir_yadai How can you say you're a journalist and yet be so manifestly biased and discriminatory and conflicted -- and all these confirmed by your very own pinned post. It's as if you revel in being non-journalistic.
@KatieMiller We're doing OK thanks Katie. Just fine.
And shame on you, deceptively removing the last part of the piece, because it was an expert talking about HOW GREAT IMMIGRATION IS--FOR HELPING AUSTRALIA moderate its declining birthrate and ageing taxpayer base. Typical, deceptive, BS.
@Shauli Even this reporting is riddled with racism & inconsistency. It fuzzes out the faces of accused soldier abusers, or allows them to conceal who they are (and what they did). No such rule to protect dignity/privacy of those stripped naked in gaza's squalid, bombed, occupied streets.
@CouceIgnacio@MichaelPTKelly who are you, actually, anyway? Pretty sure the popes are right and you're a nobody, raving into the void. But such obnoxiously negative criticisms? By definition, what the pope says is catholic teaching, so you're wrong on even the most primary level.
