Why would someone who emigrated to the U.S. from a poor country champion ideas that keep poor countries poor?

...

Mr. Mamdani’s ideas on economics and international relations mirror the failed policies of socialist-era [sic] India

So true bestie. I suggest Democrats champion ideas that turn poor countries rich, such as socialist revolution, decades of communist-party rule, five-year plans, a dominant state industry sector, and becoming the largest producer of steel and concrete in order to build hundreds of millions of homes.

What an excellent piece of rhetoric from the high school republicans club! Why did WSJ publish it though?

Or alternatively, maybe this vindicates the pasta/noodle distinction. Spaghetti is a noodle. Tortellini and ravioli are dumplings. But all of them are pasta...

If natural disasters are going to occur and intensify from human activity you're (American state) responsible for and you're not going to do anything to mitigate them, it's better to just not acknowledge it whatsoever I guess?

The military almost put its foot down when the executive branch told them to kick out all the trans soldiers. I wonder if they will actually do it this time?

Military bans permanent shaving waivers, which are predominantly used by people with pseudofolliculitis barbae, which predominantly affects black men, and the article discusses the possibility of laser hair removal, which also infamously is not as effective on dark skin! Wow!

So why even place it in the media? Why not just do what they do in Lebanon and strike without warning and announce the results later?

If the goal is to destroy cultural heritage sites then it makes sense to prime Americans to expect it and be okay with it before you do it.

finally I can use my tens of thousands of dollars of estrogen as collateral

If you don't want high wages then you need low cost of living. There is no one who understands the economy less than a small-business owner.

Yeah for sure

I mean, there are people telling New York Jews to move to Israel, "the only safe place for Jews in the world," quite literally days after it got its ass handed to it by Iranian missiles. Sure, in some cases it's complete derangement, but also:

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

omg juche fiber mentioned

"We need a real fourth International" My comrade in social democracy, we are still in the eternal Second International

So anyway this is why we must all aspire to be more like Fai Rodis from the hit untranslated novel Bull's Hour.

Can they get the city council to block most of his agenda? Idk what the faction breakdown there is like.

This is the last month the solar industry gets government subsidies which could explain the spike.

Moral panic among credit card companies hits Fansly. All substances, furry porn, hypnosis and mind control kink, amateur wrestling, etc. banned.

It's really funny that de-escalatory strikes are real but also the only strikes that are called de-escalatory officially are always escalatory.

I wonder if Chinese skyscraper-building factories will succeed unlike Japan's which fell off after the 90s

Back in my day you actually had to put in the work in making an imaginary waifu.
