I think it’s established fact that you can’t reduce congestions by adding more lanes and roads. Not because of bad road design but because the amount of cars will fill up those new lanes. So saying ‘cars cause congestions’ is pointing at the fact that regardless of how many roads or lanes we have the will be filled. Hence roads aren’t the problem, but cars are.
Then I don’t think you’ve met people. Because I have met people and they do care.
What makes you doubt that? Sure, I’m an internet stranger and can’t know what situation you’re in, but I still wish you well, regardless of what you’ve been through. Is there a reason that makes you doubt that anyone might care even the very least?
It sounds like you’re in a bad place. Sorry to hear you feel that way.
Hey there, who hurt you so bad you gave up empathy all together?
Edit: added a missing ‘up’ in that sentence.
Yeah, and they might spend the US money on exactly that, but that means they can spend their own money on something else, like general welfare, which they apparently do. So they can use US money to kill children in Gaza and spend their own money on healthcare 🤷♂️
Actually reread your message and see your point. Sure it’s not free money with no cost of Israel but would Israel be able to defend itself without those funds? It still a matter of money coming in and money being spent on welfare.
The irony is still that Israel, currently occupying Palestine, and in constant military conflict, gets money from the US while still maintaining a functioning welfare system.
Money doesn’t have labels on it. If they don’t need to spend their own money on military they can spend it on other things. So you could argue the US is at least indirectly funding these things.
Yeah I agree, that’s a very bad look for the countries that voted against the proposal. Even China and the Saudis have the moral high ground.
It matters for journalistic integrity and it breaks the trust in factual reporting.
That’s the joke…
I recall the SA president saying they do have a violence problem, just not in the way trump is describing it.
Which flag did they display? It only said it’s ‘a flag displayed in support of…’.
Is it a Palestinian flag or a flag owned by one of those organizations?
What’s your point here?
Isn’t the problem that legal streaming services don’t provide a good enough service/content? Even if you put the cash out to subscribe to all services, searching each one, one at a time, they still might not have the video content you want. The market failed us, and culture is locked away.
Another song on the topic of the 1992 LA riots, Savage Lifestyle by The Game. Almost cinematic.
What old age are you talking about? Television was not invented in the 2000’s.
And if you don’t like ads, then that is the problem.
Regardless, Netflix has historically been delivered without ads which many seem to like. You do you, take a break and watch some ads every 20 minutes, but I won’t, and will especially not pay to do it.
Yeah, I agree it’s always harder to define than it seems at first glance. Square footage might be a better proxy with fewer loopholes. Problem is that a shitty rundown house will be taxed the same as a luxury house of the same size. That might be fine, I don’t know.
I think regardless of how you do it, taxes need to be adjusted for inflation or change of average living costs, like any tax brackets could/would. I think one of the goal should be to avoid artificially inflated living costs.
And also regardless of approach, tax limits should probably also depend on how many people live in the house. That can probably be abused too though.
Either way, I don’t know much about economy and taxes, this is just me thinking out loud on a complex topic.
That was very well put, thank you.
It applies to smaller cities as well as fat as you I’m aware, not just mega cities.
