Florida governor Ron DeSantis rejects idea of Palestinian refugees in US
  • Anarchoevangelism — where Jesus returns to Israel to signal the rapture and to rescue all believers while the earth burns to hell. Typical fairy tail religious bull shit, taken seriously by complete morons.

    The state of Israel is important to evangelical Christians. The Jews, not so much.

    “The LifeWay poll also asked evangelical respondents what factors contribute to their support for the state of Israel. More than 6 in 10 cited God’s pledge to Abraham. The third-most-cited reason was that the existence of Israel was necessary for fulfilling prophecy. More than half of evangelicals said that was a reason they supported Israel’s existence.”

  • Ron DeSantis tried to make a Florida college conservative. Now the students are fleeing.
  • You also shouldn’t apply personal finance principles for — individuals or households — to a nation-state. For example, how would you translate U.S. dollar denominated debt held by other countries into personal finance rules? Or currency exchange rates and the dollar’s strength relative to other nation’s currencies?

  • That’s a strawman argument, and a poor one.

    “Corporations are evil” is just a slogan to highlight the fact that corporations don’t exist to serve the common good or for the betterment of society — those are byproducts.

    In the U.S., corporations exist for the lawful purpose to make money for its shareholders. You being treated well just happens to be the strategy that corporation chose to retain your skilled labor to produce whatever service or product your corporation is selling.

    See Twitter as an easy example — a corporation that treated its employees well and retained skilled labor to ostensibly better public discourse. It found a way to make a lot of money for its shareholders in a billionaire’s impulse purchase and forced him to buy it in a court of law.

    What did the billionaire do as one of its first things? That could have been you, and hence why “corporations are evil.” It’s just a legal vehicle to make money.
