Strange take. Presumably if Israel was replaced with a non-ethnostate, Jewish citizens of that state would get the same rights and treatment as every other citizen.

18+ mosquitoes sucking my blood is pretty awful even without a phobia.
Yeah, all that housing in Vienna appeared from nowhere.
But sure, you have a great day as well.
Yes, of course. Banning short term rentals for example is a regulation that would put downward pressure on housing prices. Banning investment companies such as Blackrock, Blackstone, etc from purchasing single family homes, duplexes, 4-plexes and the like would do the same. Whereas the lack of regulation around these things has contributed to home price inflation. The idea that people are unable to afford homes because there is too much regulation holds water like a sieve.
Our current economic situation is the product of decades of regulation cutting supply side (aka neoclassical) economics championed by the likes of Thatcher and Reagan, which still dominates today. You know where housing is not unaffordable? Vienna, Austria. A place where better than half the residents live in social housing. The product of a strong government and regulation.
In fact, minimum wage earners tend to put a greater portion of their earnings back into the local economy vs. savings and increases help or at least don’t impact particularly negatively small business. Neoclassical economics is a joke.
Regulations help protect people from corporations. This libertarian take is total nonsense. What makes competition difficult for new entrants is the overwhelming size of modern day multinational corporations and the capital investment required to wage any sort of real competition which is something that is only going to be fronted by other extremely wealthy interests. So, yes, we do need bigger, stronger governments in relation to those very powerful corporations, specifically strong enough to break them up. Or ideally nationalize them entirely.
Santa puts you on the naughty list.

The mistake was thinking that paid, proprietary software fundamentally = more functionality.
I gave up on finishing those books years ago. It’s been long enough I hardly remember what happened in the last one and the next one isn’t even on the horizon as far as I can tell. It’s not happening.
Not everyone fell for the lies. It’s a re-writing of history to suggest that everyone was all aboard with the war in Iraq. That war was preceded by the largest protests ever to occur up until that point. I personally recall Hans Blix, the UN official responsible for weapons inspections in Iraq at that time, repeatedly telling us that there was no evidence of such weapons programs. The New York Times should presumably be at least as questioning as my, at the time, 18 year old self. Particularly since I turned out to be right.
More specifically,
This event has set alarm bells off in the Biden administration. He absolutely needs Michigan to win. It’s not an accident Biden is suddenly talking about ceasefires and dropping aid a couple days after this.
What’s yours? Are you suggesting Jewish folks can’t stand against Israel?
Seems like you’re doing exactly what you’re accusing others of, here?
It’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I used to buy flagship phones but figured I didn’t really need all that just to browse the internet on the toilet. But I also wanted something that wasn’t so low powered that it lagged during regular operation like a lower cost LG I had purchased before. So far it’s fulfilling that purpose very well.
One plus nord n30. Bought it because it was relatively inexpensive and reviewed well. I’m happy with the purchase thus far.
I suspect it has to do with being a sort of household appliance. Similar to the fridge, the TV, the bathtub, etc. People think about it in that sense most frequently and it becomes the common parlance.
