Any facts or verification that this was actually done by Ukraine? Seems like it’d be pretty on point for Russian propaganda to throw a few drones at themselves to whip up fervor. Not to mention the fact that it could’ve been done by partisans in Russia itself. I’d label either of those more likely than Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure.
The West insisted that their weapons are not to be used inside Russia. I don’t think Ukraine would want to risk the supply of weapons for small political gains.
At the World Aquatic Championships in Fukoka, Japan, Ledecky collected her 16th world title by winning the 800-meter freestyle, her favorite distance, with a time of 8:08.87. It marked her sixth consecutive time winning that distance — the longest ever streak in a single event in the championships’ history.
One hundred ninety-three of the units would be used for housing low-income people, with 40% of the units designated for tenants earning 30% of the Denver area’s median income.
The first public hints of the malware campaign began to emerge in late May, when Microsoft said it had detected mysterious computer code in telecommunications systems in Guam, the Pacific island with a vast American air base, and elsewhere in the United States. But that turned out to be only the narrow slice of the problem that Microsoft could see through its networks.
More than a dozen U.S. officials and industry experts said in interviews over the past two months that the Chinese effort goes far beyond telecommunications systems and predated the May report by at least a year. They said the U.S. government’s effort to hunt down the code, and eradicate it, has been underway for some time. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential and in some cases classified assessments.
Blame greed or the focus corporations have on unbridled growth without any consideration to development. Blame the idea of corporate personhood or weak restrictions that barely deliver a slap on the wrist. Blame the measurements of success that push to just make numbers larger. There are so many different things to point at, different ways we could view the issues and try to find solutions, but money itself is a low effort answer.
Are you gonna rush out and get rid of/give away all your money? Why not?
Low effort? Sorry man, wax philosophical all you want. End of the day, these people do it purely for money. Even if greed extends beyond that, right here, right now, it’s about money.
Call it a tool. Sure. But a tool’s purpose is decided by the one who wields it. Not by it’s original intent. So no, money isn’t an low effort answer. I could point at everything you said being the “Real” reason. But in the end of the day, it all leads back to money.
There is a large difference between a 700 Million dollar loan and a 40 Billion dollar forgiveness. I’m not saying the student loan forgiveness is bad but there is a big difference in the dollar amounts between these two things.
If you’re talking about the 2018 auto bailout, that ended up making the government money because they managed to emerge out from it and the government charged a little interest.
I am talking about the stock swap. You know the giant well over 10 billion dollar wealth transfer that was never paid back. You do know about this as you are talking about it, I trust.
Also I am curious now, why does a car company make the US government money but not people with degrees?
The 2008 TARP that bailed out GM and Chrysler may have had widespread support but it wasn’t universal. In my opinion it shouldn’t have been done either and was probably only necessary because of the original Chrysler bailout back in the day. Without that “The Big Three” would have been subject to market forces and turned into “The Big Two”, the healthier market may have kept GM from being in the position to need a bailout.
The other point of note is that GM did repay their loan so at least in that instance it worked out. I have no idea why anyone in the Federal Government thought that Yellow would be able to successfully repay this one.
I had to look that up because honestly I had forgotten about it. It’s not that I “like” to, I just did.
The argument that GM should have been required to make up the difference seems reasonable to me, of course I think the bailout was unreasonable in the first place sooooo…
But you knew it at one point. We all did. No one likes the idea that a private company was given well over 10 billion dollars, never paid it back, and the only reason they were given it was because they failed at the free market.
No one wants to remember that they flew in on a private jet to Washington DC to beg for money. No one wants to remember that they were having problems for decades. No one wants to remember the blatant corruption of a Democratic party Congress with a Democratic party president awarding money to a solid blue state. No one wants to remember that they withheld evidence about their ignition locks and a women was falsy imprisoned for years for murder charges. No one wants to remember that they had since the 1970s oil crisis to adapt.
All this stuff you read at one point or heard about on the radio or saw a program on TV or heard someone discussing it. A week from now you will forget it again. Because it was shitty and wrong and they got away with it. It is like a cognitive blindspot.
This is a very typical shit ass response. We’ve had great success in having permanent and semi permanent living spaces in existing neighborhoods. Even the NIMBY assholes like yourself who initially sued to prevent it have changed their tune. There also has been no increase in crime with these either.
Maybe take a minute and consider what you would want if you were homeless. In the US you are much closer to being homeless than you think.
I literally lived two block away from one of the Denver safe outdoor spaces. So you have no idea at all, and I actually know. You’re not from here, you have no experience with the homeless situation in Denver or the many things we are trying as a community to fix it. You are just talking out of your ass.
I’m sorry you’re blighted by those with less than you, seems to be a big issue for you. If only we could lock all the poors away to make you feel better.
Two blocks away, oh poor you. I deal w/ the mentally ill on my door step daily. But youre the savior of the destitute. I buy something and an outside factor makes that property thats now pretty much un-sellable. I’m working to buy that section 8 building and make it condos. I get the value of my property back and punt the knobs into the county.
Gotta love the libertarian solution; instead of working to make society to be better for everyone, they’d rather stomp others down to be king of the shitpile.
Oh, poor you. Your property values declined? Sounds so much worse than not having a home. Let me work up some tears for this travesty.
You’re not wrong. One of my old workplaces got demolished to make way for mixed demographic housing, but directly above it (the complex was at the bottom of a cliff) was a McMansion subdivision. Now the apartments going up aren’t planned to cost less than $3k when all the apartments around it cost less than $1k.
