They'll go to some red state where fascist stormtroopers keep their boots on the necks of the poor... (ok yeah florida)

Yeah ofc, he's a billionaire.

Nobody who massively exploits people for their own disgusting privilege is ever a good person.

These are the ultra privileged who always get their candidates without any debate whatsoever.

This is the extremely rare exception where they show their faces.

Money represents social hierarchy/control. If money were distributed from the rich to the poor, the astounding thing wouldn't be the numbers in bank accounts but rather the complete inversion of capitalist values. And if these values/systems are inverted, then money is meaningless.

I don't think these comparisons are supposed to be literal. It's more about the massive inequality and anti-human values of the current system. Realistically capitalism is violently enforced by states, etc. so there will continue to be no justice in the foreseeable future.

If you actually read the article, they cite specific publications: NYTimes, Atlantic, New Yorker, NYPost, WSJ, etc.

If you want to write a counter article about your google search, go for it.

 

An industry-backed researcher who has forged a career sowing doubt about the dangers of pollutants is attempting to use artificial intelligence (AI) to amplify his perspective.

Louis Anthony “Tony” Cox Jr, a Denver-based risk analyst and former Trump adviser who once reportedly claimed there is no proof that cleaning air saves lives, is developing an AI application to scan academic research for what he sees as the false conflation of correlation with causation.

 

Advocates call the CTC a rubber stamp for highway widening. The body didn't do anything to dispel that notion yesterday.

Yeah when you hear dude babbling about the "cruelty of nature" or whatnot... He's just talking about himself.

My sis had to loosen her vegetarian standards for the sake of her daughters health.

Cool anecdote.

We are omnivores, accept that fact.

Cool pseudo-science derived from an anecdote. Even if I believed your story, in reality people don't actually need meat.

it requires personal effort and research to find substitutes

Yes, it takes effort to do something different from the rest of society. Apparently you've never done this.

And most just prefer some meat or fish now and then.

Cool story.

Even sheep eat chicks, there, i said it.

Nobody gives a shit. Nobody is saying go veg because sheep are veg. This is just more wacky carnist babbling.

Yes, that's the cognitive dissonance of carnism. "How could torturing one animal possibly be the same as torturing another? We have different categories for torturing!!!!" smh.

The "conventional wisdom" is just the usual cognitive dissonance of carnists.

They want to cry about puppies but also enjoy meat based on even worse exploitation, torture, murder, etc.

I saw the Tesla Robotaxi:

  • Drive into oncoming traffic, getting honked at in the process.
  • Signal a turn and then go straight at a stop sign with turn signal on.
  • Park in a fire lane to drop off the passenger.

And that was in a single 22 minute ride. Not great performance at all.

 

Dr James Smith, an emergency physician, describes the aid situation in Gaza, where the Israeli military is killing people every day as they seek aid from US-backed distribution sites.

 

Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters at the summit in the Hague that President Donald Trump was like a "daddy" intervening in a schoolyard fight.
