Some have labelled Israel as a rogue nation, but their actions are explicitly and implicitly condoned through other nation’s support and silence.
This is a nation of convicts who aspires to become wardens.
I don’t have an issue with people owning multiple properties, but doing so should be subservient to the provision of a core component of subsistence.
A broad proposal I’ve been mulling is the realisation of profit anywhere in the real estate industry (construction, (re)development, ownership, management, etc.) should only be tolerated contingent to the size of the social housing wait list.
As a broad example, if the wait list is over a year, tax any profit above 5% at 50%. The figures are arbitrary, the point is to make it the responsibility of the group to fix the problem they’ve caused.
Clearly this is from the pasta mines. They needed child labour to extract from the tight spaces where the rich veins were under Italy.

Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.
It indiscriminately pollutes whatever environment it’s conducted within, and causes secondary harm to non-participants by incentivising hoarding of PII in the cheapest and least secure manner.
A car powered by a perpetual whiplash mechanism, like dropping a slice of toast buttered on both sides.
It’s not an internet thing, or even a technology thing. This is an example of the general debasement of society wrought through half a century of rampant sociopathic neoliberal shitfuckery.
One place I’d like to see this start to be corrected, is treating what is currently understood to be intellectual property as the intrinsically abundant resource it is, instead of the artificially scarce, zero-sum concept it’s currently encrusted as.
A broadly educated population is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative ideologies.
I’ve kept my account because it’s a sought after username. Deleting it would allow some grifter to take it over. It also predates both Elmo’s and the original Twitter accounts.
I’ve not posted anything under it since the third party apps were blocked.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ it should be acceptable to subject to capital punishment.
If one is found to have behaved in a destructive or sociopathic way, its capital should be seized, socialised or auctioned off, and the proceeds primarily put toward remediation.
Corporations are more amoral than immoral, their undesirable behaviours are typically the result of the incentives they’re rewarded for exhibiting. It would also help if their involvement in the creation and policing the rules they’re expected to follow were severely diminished.
Using the formula as written, anyone aged 40-49 would have a vote weighted at 85%. You’d have to make it to 210 years old to reach 0%.
