- Comment on A handy reference guide for you 2 weeks ago:
I was eating some chicken outside.
A yellow jacket buzzed around.
So I held a little teeny-tiny piece of it for it.
Things seem to be okay; but then I felt it.
Was it a sting or was it a bite?
Maybe it mistook my thumb for some of the chicken—chicken is often greasy.
It wasn’t really painful, but I decided it wore out it’s welcome, so I probably flicked it away.
I don’t think I ever saw it again.
At another time, a few came through my window.
So I put some syrup on a cap to see what will happen.
A few more flew in.
They drank it up—they sure seem to like syrup a lot.
I guess after they had their fill, the flew away—“buzzed off” if you will.

Khomeini also wrote that since Muslims must support a government based on Islamic law, Sharia-based government will always have more popular support in Muslim countries than any government based on elected representatives.[259]
As for leftists who support the ISLAMIC Republic:
wp:Iranian Revolution#The 1981–1982 massacre
(my bold)
Between June 1981 and March 1982, the theocratic regime carried out the largest political massacre in Iranian history, targeting communists, socialists, social democrats, liberals, monarchists, moderate Islamists, and members of the Baha’i faith as part of the Iranian Cultural Revolution decreed by Khomeini on 14 June 1980 with the intent of “purifying” Iranian society of non-Islamic elements.[250] Between June 1981 and June 1982, Amnesty International documented 2,946 executions, with several thousand more killed in the next two years according to the anti-government guerilla People’s Mujahedin of Iran.[251] More recently, Rastyad Collective has verified the identities of more than 3,400 political dissidents who were executed between June 1981 and March 1982.[252][253] These dissidents were sentenced to death by the Islamic Revolutionary Courts during show trials in more than eighty-five cities across the country on charges of spreading “corruption on Earth” (ifsad-fi-alarz), “espionage”, “terrorism”, or “enmity against Allah” (Moharebeh).[250] Most victims of the 1981 massacre were young activists aged eleven to twenty-four. These activists were either high school students or had recently graduated from universities in Iran and abroad. During the massacre, hundreds of minors were also subjected to arbitrary detention, torture, and summary executions on ideologically motivated charges of ifsad-fi-alarz and moharebeh by the revolutionary courts.[252][250][254] In July 2024, The Special Rapporteur published a landmark UN Report on the 1981 massacre and categorised the atrocity crimes committed in 1981 and 1982 as genocide and crimes against humanity. In this report, the Rapporteur called for the establishment of an independent and international accountability mechanism.[255]

voting in Ruhollah Khomeini as the new Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
How free and fair was that vote?
- Comment on Anon reads about Milton Friedman 2 weeks ago:
FWIW,
wp:Milton Friedman#Foreign policy
He supported US involvement in the Second World War and initially supported a hard-line against Communism, but moderated over time.[149] However, Friedman did state in a 1995 interview that he was an anti-interventionist.[150] He opposed the Gulf War and the Iraq War. In a spring 2006 interview, Friedman said the US’s stature in the world had been eroded by the Iraq War, but that it might be improved if Iraq were to become a peaceful and independent country.[151][149]

- Comment on Amazon CEO Andy Jassy plays up his retail rivals’ worst nightmare: Trump’s tariffs may actually strengthen Amazon 11 months ago:
“Retailers who aren’t buying directly from China are typically buying from companies who themselves are buying from China, marking these items up, rebranding and selling to U.S. consumers,” Jassy told analysts on a call following the earnings release. “These retailers are buying the product at a higher price than Chinese sellers selling directly to U.S. consumers in our marketplace. So, the total tariff will be higher for these retailers than for China direct sellers.”
-
What if they aren’t buying, or buying much, from China: directly or indirectly?
-
What about those who aren’t buying from those who bought from China, but are buying directly from China?
-
Is this some attempt to get shareholders not to sell because some of them might actually be assured by this guy’s BS?

Thanks to Trudeau our Canadian dollar is a weak as fuck,
Accounting for approximately 2% of all global reserves, as of January 2024 the Canadian dollar is the seventh-most held reserve currency in the world, behind the U.S. dollar, euro, yen, sterling, renminbi, and Australian dollar.[5] The Canadian dollar is popular with central banks because of Canada’s relative economic soundness, the Canadian government’s strong sovereign position, and the stability of the country’s legal and political systems.[6][7][8][9][10]
