USA has the Espionage Act. A violation of this law can be punishable by death, and whistleblowers and journalists have been targeted under this law in the past.

You are scapegoating a tiny minority of people, of only about 0.5%. You are no different than the conservatives, maybe you should consider joining them instead?

It's only been 10 years since XP stopped getting security updates, they'll be fine.

These numbers should be taken with a massive grain of salt.

The bill is far too expansive to give reliable estimates. Even those in similar income brackets will realize very different outcomes, depending on their individual circumstances. But yes, generally the poor and working class will suffer financially, and the wealthy will benefit. Those closest to either end of the wealth spectrum will see the greatest of these effects, which will be far beyond the figures predicted here.

So, in your view, intentionally killing civilians is OK if they're Japanese, but not if they're Palestinian.

Fascinating.

Do you not think that deciding to commit a war crime by intentionally targeting and murdering over 200,000 civilians, was perhaps a bad call?

Or perhaps intentionally targeting journalists, doctors, first responders, schools, hospitals, entire apartment buildings, is actually acceptable because the conflict will supposedly end sooner?

That type of flawed logic is exactly what led to atomic bombs being used to kill hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians, and is Israel's supposed justification for their barbaric campaign against Palestinians.

any billionaire that ACTUALLY cared about progressive causes could make huge strides by simply funding

youtube creators and organisers

LMAO. How about maybe paying their employees what they're actually worth, and not evading taxes at every opportunity?

I love how any criticism of your chosen deity makes you think I didn't vote, or believe that there's no difference between the two.

Incredible.

And instead of doing anything to fix it, I'm jerking off to what would have happened if another terrible candidate would have won.
