0.1% of a billion dollars is still 10m.

It's 1m.

Yea, and why would Palestine have to "negotiate statehood with Israel before" getting statehood?

And what was the U.N. partition plan for Palestine in 1947, didn't it make a Jewish state and an Arab state? Does this mean Israel also doesn't have statehood? It's fucked up yea but it also makes no sense if you're not racist.

Especially when the terrorists come from an area which the victim has effective control over. It's a police matter, not a 2,000 pound bomb matter.

That's such a weird take. I mean you're right, that is exactly the argument, but it doesn't hold any water. To defend against Hamas attacks, Israel would need a huge border fence (check), a vastly superior military (check), constant surveillance on Gaza (check), Iron Dome (check), and even morally questionable methods like full control over the Palestinian population registry to track criminals (check). The fact that they had all those and still failed self-defense just adds to the argument that killing tens of thousands of civilians and destroying the majority of civilian infrastructure (while making the vast majority unusable) and completely debilitating the medical infrastructure and blocking humanitarian aid (also via criminal methods) and

Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part

is actually genocide.

Thanks. What is the built-in NLP for Lineage OS? Maybe I'm not using the right keywords but I couldn't find out via search.

Apparently they are also loud af and stress people and animals in a pretty big radius of the data center.

Where do the $10 billion AMZN bucks go? Do any at all go to MS public coffers? The construction will be done by provate companies, components bought from private companies. How about electricity and water? Do those costs go to publicly owned infrastructure? What about the land, surely it's leased but is it owned by the state of MS? If it's just a $10 billion expenditure from Amazon to other corporations and hedge funds it's pretty worthless to the general public, and giving corporate welfare instead of cOMpEtiNG iN ThE fReE MArkET makes it actively harmful to the public good. How many people with potentially groundbreaking ideas will continue to be wage slaves because their state has no grant money to help them start a business? How many children will continue the cycle of poverty (working for Amazon in this case, probably) because their municipality doesn't have fully staffed schools to help them learn to think critically and guide them to scholarships etc.?

AMZN is up 2.8% today.

Trump is also hunkering for cash pretty bad so bribing him now would be prime time.

Lmao yea, good point.

Shiiiiiit. I've never heard of NLP. How can I check which one my phone uses?

Do you think this one is privacy respecting?

Yea, I feel you. My whole economy has changed since I adopted "reduce, refuse, and repair". I spend much less on clothes but much more on food (usually straight from the farm/mill), much less on tech/appliances, and nothing at all on things I don't need. It's changed the world for me. Big, long lasting purchases are good to get new. Same with safety gear- I buy a brand new bike helmet every 3 years, for example. The bike itself is 25 years old or so already lol.
