Sorry I have nothing to contribute to the discussion except:
YES!!!
- Comment on Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses? 7 months ago:
He should have been. Especially after the photos of Abu Ghraib came out. But it is the U.S. so he payed no penalties.
- Comment on 51% of Germans Think USA or NATO Is Responsible for Ukraine War 8 months ago:
Interesting. Didn’t Germany significantly increase their military spending at the beginning of the war? If 50% think NATO is responsible and 50% don’t, seems like 100% are pissed at the government about the war for one reason or the other.
- Comment on UPS reaches deal with union: How it compares to other historical agreements 8 months ago:
Additionally, full-time workers would see their average top rate rise to $49 per hour, which the union explains is the highest pay for U.S. delivery drivers. And the current part-timers would receive an immediate raise to at least $21 per hour, with seniority, FOX Business noted.
Excellent. If the company can afford those salaries, it should pay them.
- Comment on Virgin Atlantic's updated gender identity policy 8 months ago:
The video is a little ridiculous but tbh I don’t care what the steward dresses like on my flight as long as I get my drink and peanuts.
- Comment on What happens if majority of Americans vote for one party and majority of states vote for the other? Would there indefinite deadlock between the [Executive + House of Representatives] vs [The Senate]? 8 months ago:
Yeah, it happens pretty frequently actually. Right now it is Executive + Senate vs House.
It means deadlock but not total deadlock. Just more compromise.
Now if it is Executive + House vs Senate, that has some new conflicts. The Senate confirms judicial appointments, so often in this situation the president’s nominees have a very hard time getting confirmed.
- Comment on Why is Trump so scared of DeSantis? 8 months ago:
Desantis has far less baggage. And at least so far he is running to Trump’s right. Good direction to go for the primary.
- Comment on CT Family Suing Snapchat and Instagram After 15-Year-Old Was Raped and Assaulted By Two Sex Offenders Who Contacted Her on Apps 8 months ago:
This is obviously a tragedy. But… the parents. Where were they when their daughter was meeting sexual predators online? What were they thinking allowing her to have a device with which she could make contact with such people. And then allowing it a second time?!
I don’t doubt there could be changes in the apps that could protect their daughter. But the real tragedy here is parenting. They failed to protect her. Tbh there is more basis to have protective services investigate her parents than for them to sue these apps.
- Comment on Someone is going around my neighbourhood and sticking anti semitic messages to street lights. 8 months ago:
I try to imagine who put them there. Someone who sneaks out at night, looking both ways before taping the antisemetic flyer down. Feels to them they are helping the world. Spends the rest of the day at the computer reading conspiracy theories, and preparing their next flyer.
- Comment on why bother? 8 months ago:
I find this moderately enraging

Smart move. Bed Bath and Beyond is a stronger brand than Overstock

It’s sad how he went from being a “generational talent” to a punchline.
