An evolutionarily reasonable reaction!

Good humans putting themselves on the line

You better not negotiate with them

Journalists too. Not too long ago it was quite taboo to kill journalists, especially foreign ones, but the taboo seems to be gone altogether there is no outrage.

I forget the title but there’s a sci-fi story where there’s a galactic council between sentient creatures but they don’t invite newly discovered sentient species to the council until they survive the milestone where _most_ sentient species nuke themselves out of existence

Worth noting that you’re going to have a lot more Zionists in Israel than in the general population.

At least 1/3 of the protesters that show up for Palestine in my woods are Jewish Voices for Peace folks.

Israel is an antisemitic project.

Keep hitting the streets London! Can’t help but think this is partly due to the absolutely massive protest near Starmer’s residence over the weekend.

In the US it only costs about $30k to bribe a politician

“Envy toward the bottom” so well said. People are so disappointing.

Americans have to file taxes with the IRS regardless of who is paying them and where the company is based. There are tax breaks available (on taxes owed to the US) if you are living and paying taxes in europe to avoid double taxation for the most part. It makes the paperwork a little more tricky but it’s still done frequently and isn’t “very unlikely.” The most difficult part isn’t your american taxes it’s making sure you’re paying taxes correctly in your new country. It will make it easier if you work for a multinational company (like Schneider Electric USA, for example) where they already know the ins and outs of taxation in both countries, but I’ve known people to do this out of smaller companies as well.

You could also consider working an american job remotely in Europe

Doesn’t the US’s geography rule it out as an efficient source of ‘energy products’ for europe?

It might be a good time to check for local food co-ops in your area. Usually these arrange for you to order items directly from local farms and pick up from someone in your neighborhood. Some of them are produce only but some offer local dairy and meat and even baked goods too. Do some digging (ask on nextdoor?) if you can’t find one because sometimes they’re quite small. In college I used one that accepted EBT!

Oh I see, thanks! The sentence structure was confusing me

“Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers preventing Hamas from using it as a tool with the population.”

“It” is Gaza itself? Hamas shouldn’t “use” Gaza as a tool “with the population?”

Because this isn’t a war it’s an ethnic cleansing

International students from china literally subsidize tuition for american kids, especially at the less affluent schools. Plenty of retaliatory tools left in China’s toolbox.

In terms of both economic and military strength it feels like Trump expected everyone to go “Oh no we need them, guess we’ll have to take a worse deal” but instead they were like “We need stability and can’t trust the US to keep its contracts for the next several years at least, so we’ll have to source elsewhere.”
