Reply to comment by starmartyr in Israelis, Palestinians pledge to curb violence at Jordan meeting by Hiversitize
To say religion plays no part in this conflict is hilarious. Palestinians, and Muslims in general, believe Palestine is holy Muslim land. It's exactly why jews can't pray at their holiest religious site (the temple mount). It's Palestinian rejection of a Jewish state on any of the land.
Jews can't live in areas controlled by the PA..
If this had no religious component, this conflict would have ended a while ago.

Well...they DID think of the children. They just thought of them as cheap, abusable, labour.

Globalism is a symptom yes. But it comes down to American materialism and greed. Americans want lots and of the best of everything but they don’t want to pay for it. Therefore they outsource to third world countries instead of using American workers and paying union wages for their goods.

Her bio is impressive with the amount of work she's done for trans rights and she's gorgeous so she stands a shot at winning.

They're Russian. Romney tried warning everyone and he was laughed at. Plenty of people before him brought up just how bad Russia was, but everyone continued to say, "blame the government, not the people," as if the people were perfect and moral.

I remember Hyundai plant opening near me around early to mid 2000s. It was a huge deal for the area. Options were either crime, minimum wage service jobs, or have the means to go to college, move out and get a higher paying job. We were told guaranteed $50K+ salaries and on the job training.
Almost 20 years later, they are hiring at lower wages than what was supposedly offered from start and relying on illegal child migrant labor.
Sad to see.

And how often do the French do what they do? Quite often. It is a constant battle under this system to collectively fight a system that by nature has an easier time fighting us. It was setup to that way for a reason. While we try to get out fellow working class people on our side and in the streets, they only need to rally a few elites to their cause, call in favors, bribe politicians and cops, pay some mercs and run constant propaganda on everyone's TV. You're on the right track though.

The default AZ license (not the RealID compliant one) expires when the holder turns 65, so that's still a screw up unless that person hasn't been born yet.

That’s backward. Many Nazi party members stayed in their jobs in the west, as judges, police chiefs, and politicians. In the East they were shunned if they were lucky. The East was heavily propagandized by the soviets of course and that’s one of the main groups that is supporting the “peace movement”, are people who for whatever reason still seem to believe in the “brother state” Russia. If you are talking about the AfD or the riots in Rostock in 1992 then I don’t think looking to 1945-1950 is the right place personally.

Yes, but it also just so happens when your the richest country you have to outsource labor to make things cheap enough to sell them to most anyone but yourself.
I think that's the part most people overlook. America could make everything in America but then not only would we pay more, but much fewer places could afford the products and the entire global economy would grow slower.
Before globalism it was like developing countries were more linked to developed countries economies because they were trapped behind the inflated values of developed nations. Globalism is really just letting them make the stuff themselves so everybody can grow faster and it's actually rather generous of the developed nations to not lock developing nations into higher costs.
When you get right down to it Globalism has been the biggest wealth redistribution to the developing world in all human history. US and EU aren't getting richer relative to developing nations via Globalism, they are getting richer slower and developing nations are growing faster and for that developed nations citizens get some of the cheapest retail buying power in history... on those items. Not so much on healthcare or housing where globalism doesn't help much.
Soo you might be barking up the wrong tree when you really stop and think about it all.

Oh wow that recall notice is right around the time she got it. Are car dealers obligated in any way to disclose that information before the sale? Seems like relevant information

Except that the head of the the NTSB is on record saying deregulation did not have an effect on this accident based on the train by type.
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said…
“The ECP braking rule would've applied ONLY to HIGH HAZARD FLAMMABLE TRAINS. The train that derailed in East Palestine was a MIXED FREIGHT TRAIN containing only 3 placarded Class 3 flammable liquids cars," she tweeted. "This means even if the rule had gone into effect, this train wouldn't have had ECP brakes."
So, please check your politics and show some empathy for those Americans who are suffering.

>But the "why" is acting legally. How do we stop it? Step 1 is making it illegal to do so and put in preventive measures that allow enforcement.
You're asking to make something illegal that is inherent to the system of profit itself. We have plenty of antitrust and labor laws that are openly unenforced if not ignored, among plenty of other laws that are ignored if they don't favor capital. What you want is simply not possible. The game is over, we lost. You will not get electoral democracy under a capitalist system to uncorrupt itself. Your leaders are defacto heads of corporations. That is the reality that needs to be understood by the working class of this country if we want anything to change. Liberal and Conservative politicians are both capitalists first and foremost, they will not side with you over who perpetuates their wealth status.
