I think you’re confusing America bombing Afghanistan into the ground with the Soviet Union bombing Afghanistan into the ground. Since the Soviets invaded, and the US propped up the proto-Taliban in response, Afghanistan’s government has been fundamentally broken. The US bears a lot of responsibility for that but the invasion of Afghanistan arguably made things better for a brief window.
Fuck blue headlights so fucking hard.
Yea, this is more shit like noticing you slowed down on an open road and adjusting up your insurance rate by 12 cents annually. It has a carve out for NHTSA which could still use the data to hand out speeding tickets automatically if they so chose.
It also prevents you from being blasted with an ad telling you to take the next left for half off cheeseburgers after leaving your office at 11:45. I don’t drive so it doesn’t effect me but targeted advertising can get fucked in all its forms.
I know you’re being sarcastic but have people really become so fucking self interested that they’ve lost sight of the fact that the people around you doing well is of benefit to you? It feels fucking insane how demonized it is to want your neighbors to have a fair shot at life as well
There is - socialist economic policies that do work.
The problem is that whenever people ask for those they get centrist neoliberal economic policies.
Bold of you to assume most of us could afford or would choose to have children in this fucked up world.
Neoliberalism (what Regean spearheaded) crushes the common man and its widespread embrace has deprived people of the ability to hope for stuff like a house or the ability to afford a family. People are struggling and want change - centrists are failing to deliver that.
One thing to observe is that in areas where true left wing governments hold sway (like Spain) they’re thriving. But yeah, disappointing centrists marauding as liberals (like Starmer) underdeliver and then get extremist right wingers elected.
Have my upvote, you monster.
It would be fucking insane if they started deporting citizens.
Yea, these are some of the hardest things we need to address to make non-driving more popular in North America - overseas the increased density lends itself a lot more naturally to public transit.
If this is America/Canada while it could be carrying more people the sad truth is that it’s probably carrying half a dozen people because it’s likely going from one unwalkable neighborhood to another. Especially up here in BC there’s a stark difference between downtown buses running between unis, skytrain and the dense core of Vancouver to the ones you’ll see in a suburban hell like Burnaby.
I hate the title phrasing - it shouldn’t bring anyone relief it should bring anxiety that they did as well as they did. The SPD needs to push hard on progressive policies that will actually improve people’s daily life or more folks will become disenchanted and embrace racist extremist parties. When people are struggling they seek change and the extremes always offer that change in abundance.
This performance from the AfD wasn’t a bunch of skin heads - they’d still be at ~3% if it was just the hardcore assholes - this is regular folks seeking economic relief.
Along with dozens of bystanders.
It’s so fucking coincidental that it seems hard to believe this wasn’t an act of deliberate sabatoge.
It turns out the Doctors did have borders.
Nah, this is totally a reasonable move given how Russia has been trying to collect hostages for trades lately.
At this point… we can only hope. Hopefully, there aren’t any other inspired disciples out there.
Gosh, yall are trying to upstage the Munich Conference now.
Hey… what’s a little murder between geopolitical allies of convenience…
Fucking amazing, putting cash in locals’ wallets will provide a serious boost.
Joke parties making serious showing is the ultimate sign that the centrist neoliberal parties are utterly failing the populace.
