Hopefully the blockade can be lifted soon. Since it appears Israel is at war against the government of Gaza (Hamas), there's a difficult line to walk where a complete and lasting victory is achieved while avoiding humanitarian disaster. A quick victory will hopefully avoid the most extremes of humanitarian disaster. In the long term I hope nearby Arab states help provide a peaceful solution to the problem.

If he could be found guilty of a serious crime before the first GOP primary, that would be super helpful. Can we get this done?

Parking lots are a waste of space and force us to build things further apart, making life more difficult for those who don't want to use cars. They should have to pay.

There's government in SA and there's Islamic religious authority. Two families agreed long ago to separate spheres. The religious authority has long been frustrated with the government and are the ones who attacked us on 911. Someone needs to break the religious monopoly in SA.

I live in Kansas, where the cost of living is relatively low compared to the rest of the country. 1st year officers make $59k. They best paid officers are paid $89k. Plus very good benefits.

Most hospitals are setup as non-profit entities and use medical debt write-offs to exhibit their charity. In all truth, they intentionally drive their own expenses sky high to increase revenue to astronomical levels so to give executives running these organizations excessively high compensation. These write-offs are just part of the gig.

Also now it is even harder to support having children for the average Chinese because there's an expectation to take care of your parents and grandparents. If all six are living what resources remain fire marriage and children?

Every year "secular pro-life" has a fairly large contingency at the March for Life in Washington DC.

I am myself a pro-life Catholic but I also have found nonreligious on the right are much more prone to radical and violent ideas than religious folks on the right. For example I don't know anyone who loves Trump at my church. Some just accept him as being the highly flawed option we have in the moment whereas I know some crazy lovers of his that are absolutely without religion. My experience might or might not play out in the numbers but it is my experience.

I am on about 15 years on this current mattress. Seems to be doing just fine.

I carry gift cards to Subway for the homeless. Subway restaurants are almost everywhere, don't cost a lot, can be reasonably healthy, and most people like the food well enough.

I think kbin is less leftist then Lemmy and you get the same content. I moderate https://kbin.social/m/Catholic and although it is relatively quiet, we do not get a lot of harassment from the left.

My first thought was that maybe Russia was experiencing shortages due to the deteriorating economic situation in Russia but, reading the article, this feels more like a petty bureaucrat that's upset that the occupied people of Ukraine are not cooperating as well as he wishes, so he makes passive-aggressive "punishments" of the people. This may ultimately be good for the war effort, leading to more behind-the-lines resistance movements.
