This wasn’t so much entitlement as necessity. My aunts moved to get married. My dad and uncles moved for work. Meeting up was always infrequent because it required flying. My grandpa(dad’s side) wasn’t able to make it to my dads wedding and my mom did not get to see her dad on his deathbed.
Just how things were back then.
100% of my family besides my wife and dog are far enough away that flying is the only practical way to visit them.
Their are many more moderate sects of Islam, they just didn’t get all the US and Saudi $$$$ to spread their beliefs.
The social contract exists always. It isn’t a paper contract but a societal consensus about what constitutes acceptable behavior. Gambling joint money without agreement is not socially acceptable behavior. Bypassing a eula/nda for a beta version of a thing and then spreading the info just because you’re legally in the clear is not societally acceptable behavior. It doesn’t matter that it shouldn’t have been so easy to do so or that they won’t face legal consequences.
Valve fucked up but the Verge still broke the social contract regardless of whether they’re legally in the clear or not.
Doing something just because “it’s legal” doesn’t make it a moral justification. My wife and I have a joint bank account. It is legal for me to take money from it and gamble it all away, the gate is “open” but that doesn’t make it morally justifiable.
Large scale death events are the only reference we have for the type of population reduction that we are/will be seeing.
Labor supply being reduced while demand remains means that labor is stronger. Whether that supply reduction is due to death, population decline, or other causes is not really relevant.
I think you’re reading too much into what’s not there. The poster is talking about how less people resulted in the improvement of labor conditions. In the past this has only happened noticeably through large scale death. The black death is probably the most drastic but similar has happened after both WWI and WWII. The difference is that the current labor supply reduction won’t be from death but from reduced births. However, increased power of laborers should at least be similar whether the cause is through death or reduced births. China, Japan, and South Korea are experiencing/are going to experience this first without drastically increased immigration and the rest of the western world isn’t far behind.
If you strike and there’s no scabs for them to hire or the scabs are even more expensive (because they aren’t desperate for a job) then it becomes cheaper to actually give the workers what they want.
It is the opposite of the poor eating the poor. Being educated, having fewer kids later in life makes getting out of the poverty cycle a lot easier for anyone.
Common cold still mostly refers to a viral infection (several different ones) just not as bad as influenza or covid.
“Politely” is doubtful. Same guy who told his advertisers to go fuck themselves and now is suing them for not using his platform anymore.
It also says he was in an accident. So he may not be physically capable.
GTO was/is great.
It’s Bing without tracking. And the things like quotation marks still work. However, baseline search using it has still gone to shit.
They have 10% unemployment… it won’t
No country is a monolith of thought. There is opposition to genocide but without a majority there isn’t much they can functionally do.
Wasn’t an R shot at the congressional baseball game a few years ago. Didn’t seem to do shit.
The R^2 on top of the graph is 0.002 lol.
You’re not supposed to just say hot potato. Use it the middle of a sentence then say it fast.
And Trump would “finish the problem” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905
And Nikki Haley wrote “finish them” on an Israeli missile.
Just a reminder the GOP isn’t a better option here. We need to primary out the corpos on both sides but presidentially there isn’t a anti-genocide candidate that has a chance.
The rest of their politics are important as well.
Yes, but nothing in the rules of war or international law say you can’t attack the enemy nation’s territory. The people loaning Ukraine weapons are the ones saying that. The same ones that held up many supplies at a critical time during the Spring 2024 offensive.
