Zippy,

Hamas claims something and everyone here takes it for gospel. How many times has mainstream media no less had to retract details as fact? Details from Hamas. But this must be a lie if Israel said it. What a bunch of goofy posts. It is a good thing the majority of the free world doesn’t hold this opinion.

Zippy,

Lemmy is pretty caustic platform if someone doesn’t agree with you.

Zippy,

Fuck Hamas for caring less of their people. Fuck Hamas for using their people as shields. Come out and fight directly if you were not cowards.

Zippy,

Ya Hamas. I don’t blame the country for defending themself.

Zippy,

No they could fight direct.

Zippy,

And in a perfect world, mistakes would not be made and every bullet would have a self destruct if it was aimed towards someone innocent.

Zippy,

Oh bullshit. Hamas hides directly behind them.

Zippy,

Pretty sure I would hate them. Doesn’t make me in the right. But I also would fight against my government putting me in this position. Fuck Hamas.

Zippy,

Yes nearly every country has ran the Jews out of the country. There is no country in the middle East that has even a fraction of Jewish people leaving there compared to how many Palestinians live in Israel. Who is at risk of genocide?

Zippy,

Was Hamas underground when they started this?

Zippy,

Is there any other country in the world that is completely surrounded by hostile governments that have nearly all at one time threatened to run them into the sea? And acted on it at one time? If someone comes into my house and kills my daughters then threatened to do it again, ya I will go after them. I don’t care if they hide behind those they say they are acting for.

Zippy,

If no one else is willing to bring them to justice and the people that killed my family are enabled by those in that house, then fucking ya they all have some degree of guilt.

And if you do this with children involved and hide behind them, their death is on you.

Zippy,

Considering enough mainstream news agencies have needed to make retractions based on reports from Hamas, yes I would believe the IDF anytime over Hamas.

Zippy,

Is good. I bet we would have some massive power failures as well.

Zippy,

Except other business rarely do what he engaged in. Public traded business even less likely as who would risk jail time for a simple job at the end of the day? Particularly when it factors little to none for your paycheck.

No there is nothing normal about what Trump has done. Or those that helped him.

Zippy,

I agree with you there. I believe his enablers acted out of ego and the belief that as president any action he takes is lawful. This is why I think it is so important to charge and convict those involved as it will set an example for those to follow.

Legitimate governance has constitutions that are only as strong as they are willing to enforce then. Failing to enforce then essentially indicates they did no wrong and that a constitution has no meaning.

Zippy,

Not sure why you played the race card. This has to do with countries that are not that particular stable, are more or less dictatorships and most certainly have designs on nuclear weapons.

If Iran actually developed nuclear weapons, nearly every country of any size will absolutely do the same shortly after. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, hell even Jordon might. Is dumb to think they won’t and maybe even more so to think they won’t get used for ideas of expansion within our lifetime. There moment one is used, the whole world is involved.

I don’t care how unfair you might think that is. Not happy they exist but there are only a few countries I trust to have them. And I am not so silly to think said countries could not have them when countries like China and Russia are nuclear armed.

Zippy,

Worse, many articles do not have the year in the date. What the hell is up with that?

Zippy,

The CEOs of the fortune 500 companies are some of the highest paid people when their full packages are included. But their wages and compensation packages pale in respect to what Musk is taking from Tesla. With that package, Musk could pay all the compensation packages and wages for every fortune 500 CEO. Not only could be pay the entire amount, he could do it for the next 15 years.

Zippy,

Tesla has returned near zero to shareholders yet. I don’t think people understand this. Yes share value had increased but from an investment perspective, a company must return to investors in the form of dividends or share buybacks an amount equal to that of all capital raised plus some percentage to justify the risk and time invested. That has to happen at some point.

That doesn’t mean the company does not provide something to society but from an overall investment perspective, Tesla has yet to return a dollar yet. All that has happened so far is that many people gave a great deal of money to Tesla then a bunch more people exchanged money back and forth.

Zippy,

If I didn’t see him as a real and present danger to US stability, I would agree with you. Hell if he was simply just a poor leader I would agree with you. But in this case he is doing real damage to US politics and trust in the system. And this comes from a fairly right leaning person.

Why has the world gone to shit?

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product’s and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in...

Zippy,

That is such a lazy argument. More people then ever before are out of poverty in the history of mankind. Doesn’t mean there are not problems. In regards to COVID, we took millions of people out of the workforce while printing money and still paying many of them? Of course that will result in massive reduction of inventory levels that we will feel for a decade. That results in inflation as what do people expect when less items available to the same amount of people that want them.

Regards to qualities etc. That varies. We have more access to products then at anytime in history as well. And many of these products have come down significantly in price. But that also means quality products and their prices get compared to shit products at lower prices. What do you think people buy? Secondary, people do far less informal work and that effects your perception of income. Our parents and grandparents maintained their own cars and houses for example and grew far more food. Now every hires that out and buys all their groceries at a store. That leaves you with far less money.

Then there is one industry that has made gains but their costs has gone up ten fold. That is healthcare. You have access to some of the best medical procedures then at anytime in history. But some of those costs can be North of a million dollars. Our parents and grandparents simply did not access that and in some cases died. I am happy I have now options but this is coming at a huge cost of which much of it has to be paid for upfront before you retire.

You could kill off every billionaire tomorrow but that won’t result in much more houses being built or available. Wealth inequality is an issue but if more cogs are not manufactured, our standard of living will not change much.

Zippy,

You have unknown people that can’t be identified. More common than you think. They generally get buried in these locations because you don’t want to lose the body in case their identity is discovered. Then you have quite a few more that they don’t initially know their next of kin and it can take months to find them. These are people that pretty much have distanced themself from their family and it even friends or could be elderly and have few associates. No one claims then. In this case they need to bury them because you can’t wait months to find someone. It is the respectable thing to do. And often when relatives or friends are found, they may be happy to leave them in that location. Then you have prisoners. I would be curious on the average age. If the average age is say 50, and life expectancy for a prisoner is 70, then you would expect a 5 percent attrition rate. That is not nefarious.

Point being there is not enough info in this article to determine if this is at all unusual. And your anger over finding friends and relatives might not be justified.

I personally had a brother in law died that was a heavy drug user. He stopped contacting family ten years earlier. It took agencies about a month to determine who he was related to. It is not that simple.

Zippy,

From countries like Russia. That says a great deal.

Zippy,

Those with pay secondary educations in a while will be far richer than those with no secondary education. They will be the next rich class. So yes these loans are going to the future rich. Good job I say.
