I feel you, it's all absurd but not the kind you can laugh at.

Mossad being involved would not surprise me at this point, that includes his 'suicide'.

Amazon: get 30-day free trial.

Very quietly Amazon: we bill you $14.99 two weeks into your 30-day free trial ;)

  • 80's Thatcher/Reaganomics,

  • Clinton-Neoliberalism,

  • Greenspan-Libertarianism (liberty for money, no regulation)

    = capitalism bringing on the calamity to humans and the planet.

Ye been watching too much Fox News buttercup, maybe even a red cap layin' about? You are devoid of facts, just full on condescension (sweetie/buttercup) and fear mongering which doesn't even make sense. The very fact that homelessness is rising, not just in America, is not registering. You might think they're growing them in a lab somewhere?

I mean many people have known this for a looong time. It's like asking a war criminal to investigate themself and then present their evidence. This behavior has been enabled with the usual blank check given to Israel.

Just look at the history of illegal settlement building. We just kept looking away, thus implicitly endorsing it. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/

Even ketamine as I understand it, requires monitoring of blood pressure. I have a friend with a heart condition and he was unable to undergo ketamine therapy. Ketamine is sadly becoming just a very profitable wellness drug business.

"There is some serious poverty around the world to voluntarily do this." Yes, it's sickening and saddening and all too true. But exploitation of people is very much alive today.

Migrant abuse, exploitation and out right slavery is endemic in these wealthy middle east oil based nation states. Don't forget all the money spent on sportswashing, especially European football, and even golf, yes golf.

That's nice but kinda pollyanaish and not a model of how economies should work. In fact the gross inequity between the wealthiest sliver of human beings against the majority is outrageous and immoral.

I could def be wrong, but it might have to do with Zaslav's 'vision' to move focus towards 'unscripted programming', as in reality tv, true crime and live sports, less on scripted programming. My guess* is the car that's laying about is reality tv and regular people. He's not really helping create new shows, great storytelling, rather just using regular people to draw in viewers and rake in profits. I imagine the cost of unscripted programming is much less than truly scripted programming.
