Because the FBI gave the terrorists all the training, weapons, and about $2bn in cold hard cash money that lead to them being able to commit the act. Because "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams", although it does weaken steel beams. Because engineering and demolition experts came out and said the whole thing seemed coordinated exactly in the way in which they coordinate tear-downs for a living. Because the terrorists who on the same day planned to blow up the George Washington Bridge got sent home on a plane and were never spoken about publicly again. Because it was obvious Saidi Arabia had a hand in it, which later became confirmed fact, and we're buddy buddy with Saudi, so somebody had to have known something was going to happen but didn't sufficiently try to stop it on our side of the water. Because the Bin Laden family and the Bush family have a weird amount of connections. Be cause conspiracy theory culture was seen as more typical/harmless, and less of a thing for Nazi terrorists like today. Because the FBI had Bin Laden dead to rights in 1998 and had a bedside conversation with him instead of taking the opportunity to kill him while he was on dialysis. Because the 40 years that preceded 9/11 were lousy with proven incidence where our leadership, specifically the FBI & CIA in conjunction with corrupted presidents, in which American citizens were coerced, sabotaged, drugged, tortured, and killed, and all the leaders had to say about it was ‘whoopsy doopsy, so sowwy’
You don't. Don't take this to be discouraging, you can easily learn the skills, but you can't have no skills, money, or plan, and just send your ideas out into the universe to succeed. It takes time to learn how to do business in whatever field you're planning to enter with your idea. You may get lucky or utilize connections or charisma to get where you want to be, but literally nothing but an idea? Prove your idea and sell it. Otherwise it's just not that great of an idea after all.
even if it means providing value for some of the stupidest and most malignant people in the world at the same time
This is so emblematic of the human condition. Poisoning ourselves to relieve stress, buying slave-made clothes to stay warm. Burning our skin to attract mates. Toxifying our own environment for convenience. Humans really are some dumb ass creatures. We are reaping what we sow.
Hank doesn't look like a boomer anymore. Cotton does. Boomers are 70+ year olds now. Weird.
It's more obvious than that even; their SEC paperwork states that adblockers are a risk to their profits. That's more than enough info to assume they're going to go to war in the near future (now) with them.
This is like when someone says "not all men" when someone's discussing women's issues with certain men, or saying "all lives matter" when discussing racism faced by black people in America... Yeah, we know there are good cities, this bad city that's being discussed also happens to be American, and emblematic of the overall problems with American society. And as an American, I'm deeply concerned with the idea we should allow any city, no matter how small, to practice in discrimination. Definitely worth more than a brush-off.
Is this article about another Democrat speaking up and stopping the fight; or Bernie? Don't gotta get your britches in a twist, now it just looks like you have some weird obsession with taking the guy down.
I think we may be entering a new era politically. Thank goodness. Maybe we'll see some momentum in antitrust again, it's been 120 years since we last got the ball rolling, and what we got was well worth fighting for in my opinion. The world can always be a little bit better, and antitrust laws help us make it better.
Also helps raise more uneducated and poor voters to support the Republican party.
Not to mention those who can afford to will simply leave to make families elsewhere. Making a child generally tends to rank higher on people's priorities list than staying in one state forever.
