This can’t be true… Businesses wouldn’t reshape their entire portfolios, spending billions of dollars on a technology with limited to no utility. Ridiculous.
Anyways, I got these tulip bulbs to sell, real cheap, just like give me your house or something.
They were, but when evaluated against their original claim its pretty apparent they were doing it to establish a whataboutism.
It’s because he’s attempting to utilize the fact that America was and potentially still is an ethno-state to lessen the culpability of the Israeli ethno-state.
While modern America uses systemic racism to establish an ethnic hierarchy, unlike Israel it doesn’t expressly by law prohibit the movement or upward mobility of different ethnicities. Even if it did, that fact would not lessen the culpability of another state doing the same.
Context and nuance is important.
For the vast majority of its history absolutely. It wasn’t until the civil rights movement where that was even somewhat debatable.
considering Israel is more ethnically diverse
Apartheid South Africa was ethnically diverse… Still an ethno-state.
Ethno-states aren’t defined as lacking diversity, they are defined by an ethnic creating and maintaining a dominant hierarchy of that diversity.
Gosh why do people hate the Jews so much. 🫤
The problem with ethno-states is that it makes it super easy for people like yourself to conflate ethnicity with nationality.
People don’t hate the Jews, people hate ethno-states who are currently committing a genocide. Many of these people who hate the state of Israel for their genocide are Jews themselves.
The Iran situation only ended because America got involved.
Call me pessimistic but I don’t think the “Iran situation” is anywhere close to being over.
Israel was running out of air defenses and couldn’t establish air superiority over enough of Iran to stop Guerilla style launches
I don’t think air superiority was ever in question. If anything Israel might be running low on anti-air defense that currently allows them to strike without receiving any meaningful retribution.
When talking about achieving air superiority it usually refers to being able to provide combined arms air support for ground troops.
If the US ended support, Israel would have no choice but to capitulate and stop being a genocidal apartheid always picking fights in the region, or to activate the Samson option.
Maybe if it happens right now… but with trump in the White House I wouldn’t count on it. I think another three and a half years of support maybe enough to where they could mobilize to a wartime economy and commit it’s population to total war. Israel is currently trying to straddle a somewhat normal economy in the hopes they don’t spook the civilian population into unrest. But who knows how crazy they’re going to get in the next 3 years.
I mean, that’s a semantic dispute. Most genocides are perpetrated with the aims of seizing control over a territory or resource.
Pretty sure the real goal of Israel is to do enough damage so that even without the support of the US they can maintain control over the region.
With the recent attacks in Iran I’m not sure it will end even if America ends its support.
It really depends on your energy source and your appliance, but the cost to run something like an oven for an hour is pretty negligible, especially if it’s a somewhat modern appliance.
Most newer over run somewhere around 2-3,000 kwh, which nationwide averages to around .30 to .50 cents an hour.
The real cost of making food at home really just depends on how much you value your own labour/free time, and how much of a chore cooking is for you.
Yep, what we consider to be level is relative to what you use to establish an axial plane.
Yes, some people naturally have better 3d spatial awareness. You can also train your eyes to be better over time. I work in orthotics and prosthetics and have to sculpt positive models of different body parts. We also have to do GAIT analysis where we have to observe the angle of different joints while a patient ambulates.
Some people are just better at it than others starting out, especially if they have prior similar experience. I teach a lot of residents and have noticed that students that have a background in art or construction tend to have a better eye for angles. A lot of it is just practicing by observing different angles compared to something that is known to be square.
I have also trained people who never seem to be able to improve their ability to see angles, which is a big hindrance in their careers. A lot of schools actually have students take a spacial awareness test before students begin studying in the field.
Not really accurate to count all federal holidays, and a lot of businesses don’t close even on the ones you can’t count.
Nah, people like healthcare workers still have to show up on holidays. Actually it’s often some of our busiest times of the year. We’re usually offered pto that we can choose to take some time else if we work on holidays.
There is only 6 holidays where the majority (77%) of American workers are offered some kind of PTO, and that’s only accounting for people who are working full time.
There is no law because America doesn’t care about its workforce. Other countries have essential employees as well, they are just compensated differently.
^leave it to Lemmy to down vote accurate information just to spread unnecessary hate for everyone’s hate boner.
Nah, there just plenty of people here who have had to work on holidays and know you are full of shit.
