Don’t forget corruption, lack of firearm and border control, political rival officials turning a blind eye to intelligence reports, intelligence agencies keeping the info to themselves because they don’t like the target, military/intelligence doing false flag operations to distract public from other issues…
Just so many reasons that all arise from corruptions.
That's horrible. I wish countries like these had the opportunity to flourish into first world countries. I hate watching the constant turmoil instead of what could be if they were able to contribute to the overall betterment of humankind.
Poverty, lack of education, the US overthrew multiple democratically elected leaders during the red scare by funding extremist groups to commit coups, harsh environment.
Here I am thinking, “they don’t have a plan for climate change.”
/Reads article.
Ah their “plan” is to make climate change even worse and sweep under the rug anything that shows what a horrible fucking decision that is. That’s par for the course for conservatives. Fuck everything up, hide evidence, blame others. Core conservative values.
It’s like saying someone has a plan to solve suicide but that plan is to murder them before they can do it.
Well honestly what does trump (or most republicans) care anyway? They’ll be dead in a few years so they don’t need to be concerned if the world is baking. All they care about is next quarters earnings.
That commitment, with no details, follows Putin’s promise to start shipping 25,000 to 50,000 tons of grain for free to each of six African nations in the next three to four months — an amount dwarfed by the 725,000 tons shipped by the U.N. World Food Program to several hungry countries, African and otherwise, under the grain deal.
Jesus, 725,000 tons compared to 50, it’s no wonder African Nations are not at all happy
Also it should be noted that only a handful of African leaders went, as opposed to back in 2019. African Nations are well aware it seems that backing Russia is a bad idea
I just wish they’d kick out China next, both Russia and China have had a terrible influence on Africa and have kept them in bondage for decades.
Abolish Amazon prime tomorrow. Break the company into tiny pieces, raise the cost of streaming platforms and cut the CEO pay by 1000% (they will still make millions).
That’s what consumers want. You can see viewers just giving money to talents on twitch and YouTube. People want to reward good content. Hollywood and these large corporations have just become extremely good at separating the workers from the value of labor, and taking the overwhelming lion’s share for investors.
I gotta say, I had zero expectation of anything from Biden, but he has definitely delivered a few pretty good somethings, and this looks like another one. I hope they have a great day today wherever the Bidens are hanging out.
For conservatives the law exists to protect them but not restrain them while it restrains <everyone else> but not protect them. Can’t have the law in the wrong hands.
Yah it’s not consumer demand. It’s the greedy ass fatsuits pushing for rushing and understaffing.
Plus I don’t remember asking hollywood to hurry up. UPS, sure it’d be nice to get my package earlier, but not at the cost of the delivery guy’s mental health
I was just coming in to say the same thing. Don’t get me wrong, I think the average consumer’s desire for speed and convenience above everything else (including ethics) is a problem, but that is completely separate from these industries posting record profits (even after adjusting for inflation) yet still paying and treating their workers for/like shit.
That’s right. That speed and convenience is already there, happening because of the workers who wake up every day and make the world happen.
But writers, directors, and actors (among others) receiving no (or comically small, like literal cents) for residuals because industry suit-wearing parasites created a looophole in streaming such that payment is not required? That’s a big reason for those media strikes. Among many other abuses such as trying to replace people with “AI” which only benefits the people who don’t work and contribute to society.
If every rich bastard acting as shareholder disappeared tomorrow, the world would continue on. But a strike is really making people get bent out of shape because they are slightly inconvenienced as people fight for fair wages and treatment. That tells you who is really important I guess.
We need to break up all media and scatter it to the winds. I know it won’t happen, but it needs to happen. It all acts as a propaganda network for their billionaire owners protecting their own class to our detriment.
as companies scramble to meet customer expectations for speed and convenience in industries transformed by technology.
It’s not customer expectations that are driving low wages and overwork, it’s corporate greed. If Netflix / UPS / hired more workers and paid better wages then there wouldn’t be an issue. Blaming customers is just an attempt to deflect from the real culprits.
