Is it rent strike or necessity to prioritize immediate essentials because they can’t afford anything else?

Bet that money doesn’t go towards the national debt

Why do they even have nuclear weapons? They’ve only been a country since 1948. It’s a tiny country that has continuously abused everyone else. 25 years ago I was wondering why the US funded them and assumed it’s because of the strategic military stronghold in the region, but they’ve controlled so much of the US. There are laws in places in the US to prohibit criticizing them. How the fuck? I remember when they sued (somehow? Maybe sued is the wrong term) the US because the US wasn’t giving them enough “allowance” every year. They wanted more money. Fifteen years ago my friend asked if I heard about the four Israeli kids that were kidnapped or killed at the time, but there were 28 or so Palestinian kids that week that had had the same fate. I just didn’t/don’t get it. I largely stay out of it because I didn’t understand the nuances, or at least don’t think I do, but how can an 70ish year old country come in and tell people who have been there for a thousand years that they need to just go ahead and die?

As I’m typing this out, I’m now thinking of the indigenous people in North America and I realize I’ve answered my own question.

English can be silly like that. If we were talking in person, I would be able to understand from the inflection in your voice by what you meant, but in text, it’s easier to misinterpret what was meant. It was my mistake.

Much of it does, but as far as standard, I’m not sure.

Ah ok. I thought you were referring to two people, one vaguely and then that person’s friend, Vance. My confusion.

I live in the Appalachians. I’m confused about whom you’re referring to. I’d assume you mean Trump, but he’s not one of us. He’s not Appalachian at all.

Is this that derangement syndrome I’ve heard about? Something something rent free?

Glad you’re one of the lucky ones. They only did a fraction of the amount of work they were supposed to and pocketed the rest. Enjoy it for the rest of us!

Didn’t ISPs just get tens of billions of dollars to expand high-speed connections to rural areas? For the second time?

This may come as a surprise, but not everyone hates cyclists.

It’s a requirement of publication. This isn’t like a book review.
