I mean, regular people can do that too, just not to the same extent. Robinhood is offering 6.75% now on margin loans, and IBKR has like 6.85% or so.

Basically anything really well rated should be fine!

Knights of the old Republic has been on there for a while.

Emulators.

Slay the Spire.

Yeah, look into the NY public funding going into ultra Orthodox schools. It’s depressing.

Yet the overwhelming majority of the time, they’ve committed a crime. There may be systematic issues in the justice system, and US that lead to the higher conviction rates/arrest rates, but we have the right to appeal, the right to representation, and our criminal justice system is regularly investigated and publicized.

On the flip side, on a mass scale in Xinjiang, people are being systematically targeted, sterilized, tortured, being forced to work, etc. solely because of their culture and skin color.

The two systems are very different. Two things can be bad, and one of those bad things can be substantially worse. It’s like wondering why Texas will execute a serial killer, but not someone who punched someone at a bar. Both things are bad, but the scale is completely different.

Having the red line as genocide, or as slavery from the buying and selling of people feels like a pretty safe line to have. Blocking goods is a very serious move in international relations.

The US justice system is not inherently racist, it’s systematically racist, which isn’t good, but is a different thing. Nearly every person in the US prison system is there because they committed a crime. The people in Xinjiang did nothing but have the wrong culture and skin color. It’s still a false equivalency.

Anyone can involve themselves and investigate the US court system, they can file complaints, they can sue for unfair treatment etc. International monitors are barred from Xinjiang.

Forcing prisoners to repay a debt to society through labor, and forcing the minority you’re actively genociding to produce goods feel like two very different things.

I strongly disagree with US prison labor, and our prison system’s focus on punishment and repayment rather than actually correcting the behaviors, but it’s legal by the US constitution.

The US DoL has an article on the situation with these laborers in China. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/against-their-will-the-situation-in-xinjiang

Weren’t they literally from Codepink? Like 25% of their funding comes from the Shanghai based billionaire husband of a cofounder. Since they got married, Codepink changed their opinions SHARPLY on China. It seems like a good excuse for shouting “go back to China”.

Pelosi caveated this statement saying that most of them are probably organic and sincere, but the pro Palestine movement aligns with the goals of Russia 🤷‍♂️, which doesn’t make the pro Palestine movement wrong.

It’s pretty well documented that Russia attempted to spur conflict within the US by trying to instigate the BLM movement. The BLM movement may overall be a good thing, but that doesn’t mean we should be happy that antagonistic foreign governments are trying to add to them.

Further, look at all the tankie influencers online who suddenly are super pro Palestine, such as Jackson Hinckle, even though they have no issue with governments putting down protest in their preferred countries like China.

Honestly, I’m so confused why radical leftists are so pro Russia. It’s not like they’re communist anymore. In fact, they’re an authoritarian kleptocracy, which sounds like the type of government the folks on hexbear and lemmygrad would like the least.

I’m surprised muscle fatigue reduces hunger. I would have thought the body would want to make up the caloric deficit.

At least the US pier headed for Gaza is making progress.

That is very true! I’m very salty Trump was able to just do that, but I couldn’t get my student loans deleted. :l

I mean, sure, we can say it’s corporate greed, but also we’ve put over a trillion dollars extra into the economy in a short span due to COVID and Build Back Better, while at the same time there were supply shortages for years, plus record low unemployment causing a raising of wages, all without the fed reacting quick enough by increasing interest rates sooner. We’ve got every textbook condition for an increase in inflation rates.

Yeah, plus everyone knows that inflation is up under Biden, which still feels bad.

I personally 100% think we were on the brink of a recession and Biden dropping a trillion into the economy avoided it.

I mean, that feels like common sense to me. I have less money than I had last year, so my girlfriend and I eat out less, I buy less video games, I buy more chicken and less beef, I buy less alcohol, etc. etc. It’s just a reality of inflation.

We avoided the recession, the result is inflation is destroying our wallets, so we have to spend less to still pay our bills.

My man, I have no idea why you got down voted. You’re 100% correct. Can’t afford to tip, can’t afford to eat out. Eating out is a luxury, not a necessity. Grocery stores have frozen food if you don’t want to cook.

A new Ahoy video dropped recently!
