The US prefers to bomb people who struggle to fight back. They know China would pose a serious challenge and that's too great a risk to take head-on. Just look at how quickly they gave up against Yemen, and they aren't even close to the same level of military power as China.
Rather than engage with China directly, they will attempt to attack indirectly as they did with the Soviet Union. China can attack the US mainland, Venezuela would struggle to do so.
Yeah, but they didn't have a profit motive to dRiVe InNoVaTiOn.
Don't forget all the support Bernie has given to the US war machine. He pretends he's antiwar because he voted against the invasion of Iraq once and then subsequently voted to fund that invasion for the next ten years. He's also funnelled money into his state to build up the weapons manufacturing industry there.
He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point as he has clearly voted to support US imperialism his entire career. The man makes some good critiques publicly, but they are empty of any meaningful actions or directly opposed by his actions.
Bernie is not a principled leftist and hasn't been since at least the 90s. There is a good reason Parenti cut ties with him.
I know professional scientists that have to do this because their bosses pay them so little. They make less than the people working at gas stations and are working to make life-saving medicines.
It's despicable.
I have yet to find German food that fits my tastes, but I guess I'll give it another shot. Gotta say Thai, Indian, and Mexican are probably my favorites. And sushi. I could eat only sushi for the rest of my life and be happy with it.
"Omg, this homeless problem is out of control! What are we going to do about the homeless question?"
"Make it illegal to be homeless. Problem solved."
Fucking liberals.
Pretty sure $1000 is the line where it becomes a felony. Walmart has been known to keep track of theft and wait until they have enough evidence to bust you for a felony. "If we hit them with a felony, they go to prison and they can't steal anymore," is the justification. Really, they just don't see us as humans.
It's indefensible for any country to produce or stockpile WP munitions these days.
Fundamentally naive take.
Tell me you know nothing about socialism without saying you know nothing about socialism.
All cars are a menace from any perspective but that of the car.
The only time electric cars make too little noise to hear is when they are driving at speeds that aren't guaranteed to kill you. After about 30mph/50kph, the vast majority of sound comes from the tires unless you drive one of those horrendously loud trucks or motorcycles.
Muscle cars are cool at car shows, but not passing through neighborhoods or areas where people are trying to enjoy talking outdoors.
Not surprising. The US Hyundai factories and the contractors they hire are well known to treat worker health and safety as secondary to literally everything else. Don't promote workplace safety, get capped by unsafe work conditions, poetic justice.
