“There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?” —David Grün

1·7 months agoLandlords can always charge more. The government needs to under cut them by providing affordable public housing with affordable rent or financing.
The government is obligated to provide public housing, they don’t even have to be free, just sensibly priced.
01·7 months agoFor Biden defenders:
Trump says the quiet part aloud, but Biden still supports the genocide of Palestinians.
Within the scope of his actual power and influence, Biden has repeatedly chosen to prioritize and enable Israel. As other presidents have demonstrated, there are steps that Biden could take to mitigate the situation. Instead, Biden uses what power he does have to continue enabling Israel.
Since the 1980s*, Biden’s bigotry and cruelty towards Arabs has been obvious. As the various sources I provide below discuss in detail, Biden has actively enabled Israel for decades. We are witnessing the consequences of that as Biden continues to support Israel’s current genocide of Palestinians.
It is whitewashing when one ignores the implications of Biden’s past and current support of Israel. It is whitewashing when one ignores the implications of Biden’s continued support for Israel as it genocides the Palestinians. By supporting Israel politically and materially, Biden is hammering for even more death and destruction. The outcome of that is apparent as Israel continues to commit genocide and, amidst Blinken’s recent visit, announces the largest illegal seizure of Palestinian land since the 1990s.
The common argument that “our current genocide is more benevolent than their hypothetical genocide” is obtuse, callous, and meaningless given that the genocide is occurring now with Biden’s support. Palestinians are dying right now. The land of Palestinians is being stolen right now. Biden’s continued support of Israel ensures that even more Palestinians will die. The Biden Administration has, by providing policial and material support, already given the green light to slaughter Palestinian civilians.
*In 1982
Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.”
The comments were striking to [Minister Menachem] Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.
Notably, Ronald Reagan was able to stop Israel via a single phone call. Biden is to the right of Ronald Reagan on the issue of Israel and Palestine.

Vote for Biden but don’t pretend as though it will prevent or reverse fascism.
Historically, liberal and liberalism have failed to reverse or prevent fascism. Historically, as can be observed with certain policies of the Biden administration and their support for the fascist genocidal Israeli government, liberals have enabled fascism.
If a genocider is your “lesser evil”, you’re already fucked and on the road to fascism. It’s obvious that most didn’t learn a damn thing from the “First they came for…” lesson.
When someone proclaims the “lesser of two evils” ask if they’d like to be on the receiving end of the “lesser evil” because anyone who says that never envision themselves to be affected.

It is not just in Palestine either. I haven’t felt so willing to die ever in my life before now. I don’t want to elaborate who knows who is peeping.
Let me put this way: never have I envied the Yemenis before this and I’m Saudi.
The ACA should have had a single payer option. I also believe the US government should run public hospitals and have a national generic drug company.
Nah. We need another Saladin to remove the corrupt Arab leaders and sweep away the savage invaders.
I look forward to seeing it play out. More competition is always better than less competition.
Most of my expense, other than taxes, are healthcare costs. I know of no way I can reduce how often my family needs healthcare, and I have thousands of dollars in healthcare debt still not paid. We rarely travel, rarely eat out, and rarely splurge. Maybe there is some way to squeeze our belts even tighter and make it work.
It is easier to just move to a country with more affordable healthcare. 12 years ago when I met Americans living and working in Japan I didn’t believe them when they said they were better off in Japan making less money than in the US because of how expensive healthcare is in the US. Now I regret not believing them. My family’s healthcare costs grew faster than our incomes.
I really hope this allows a third and perhaps even a fourth company to enter the market
So it isn’t just me. My spouse and I bring in together $250000 (before taxes), we own a house and we are living paycheck to paycheck. One factor of many why I chose to move to another country. The only good thing is that once I sell the house I will be able to pay off all my debts because of how much the price of the house gone up.
Exactly. A 3% rise when inflation is 8% is effectively a paycut.
