What? But she was so good for the British economy! Didn’t you hear about the apples?

No one was hospitalised and Ms Robinson said the “revolting” taste meant most had immediately spat them out.
The lollies had a high street value of $NZ1,000 ($916) per lolly (…) solid blocks of methamphetamine enclosed in lolly wrappers. Three people — a child, a teenager and a charity worker — sought medical treatment after tasting the boiled sweets, auckland detective inspector Glenn Baldwin told reporters. None are currently in hospital.

Came here for LOLz, but this is no joking matter.

I’m just glad no one was seriously hurt. Or, worse, killed. This is the sort of thing that gives me nightmares as a parent.

Why the fuck are my tax dollars being used to help Israel murder babies?

Technically your tax dollars aren’t being used. The US sells arms to israel. We don’t just give them away. So the US is benefiting from this war but not funding it.

corsicanguppy ,
  1. Do the bombs help Israel murder babies?
  2. Who builds the bombs?
  3. Is tax money used to replenish the accounts from which the money is taken to built the bombs so that Israel can better kill children?

Let’s hope the next administration re-examines whom it associates itself with.

Moneo ,

What does aid mean then? Genuinely asking, I know the US sells weapons to Israel but don’t they also give financial aid?

www.nytimes.com/2024/04/24/…/israel-us-aid.html

Idk how I’m supposed to interpret $15 billion in aid as anything other than giving them $15 billion in money/supplies

The way I understand it is the money is given as grants to israel that have a stipulation that they need to be used to buy US military equipment. Basically it’s taxpayer money being used to buy from american companies via a 3rd party. War is a racket. Your taxes go to the MIC, not israel.

Moneo ,

I understand that buying american weapons makes the aid end up back in america but it’s still tax payer money being spent on weapons is it not?

OneWomanCreamTeam ,

So our tax dollars are being used, but it’s ok because there’s 1 extra layer of abstraction?

unexposedhazard , in Liz Truss leaves stage over ‘I crashed the economy’ lettuce banner

Aint no way she actually supports trump and musk, thats wild. Her brain already has, but may the rest of her too, rot like the lettuce.

li10 ,

She desperately wants to stay relevant, but doesn’t seem to realise her political career is basically dead.

She literally had her shot at the top job and absolutely, monumentally, historically fucked it.

AngryCommieKender ,

At least the banner didn’t tack on, “and killed the Queen while I was at it.”

EnderMB ,

Her political career IS dead. She lost her seat, so is no longer an active politician.

This is all to push her book, which has been widely panned by practically everyone that isn’t a brain-dead moron. I genuinely would love to know how many thick cunts are in that room with her, because they are truly up there with Clacton in being the dumbest people in the country.

khannie , in US soldier pleads guilty to selling military secrets to China
@khannie@lemmy.world avatar

Sgt Schultz also collected data on US fighter aircraft, military tactics, and the US military’s defence strategy for Taiwan, based on what it learned from Russia’s war in Ukraine.

42 grand to sell out your country and fellow soldiers like that?!?! Fuck. Me. I am utterly shocked at how cheap that is.

KingGordon ,

42 to give up your life, universe, and everything.

ChronosTriggerWarning ,

So long, and thanks for nothing!

Rentlar ,

Hey, Americans would do it for less. The smug feeling of proving themselves right on a War Thunder forum is compensation enough for some.

Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on Hamas operating in dense residential areas, including using civilian buildings as shelter.

No you fuckers. These deaths are SOLELY ON YOU.

Samvega OP , in ‘You feel like you’re suffocating’: Florida outdoor workers are collapsing in the heat without water and shade

Florida has passed legislation banning local safety rules for outdoor workers, despite heat stress set to cost global economy $2.4tn by 2030

I think that those in power really don’t care about the people working in our fields and roads.

Samvega OP ,

I think that enough humans want to actively make the world worse that they will gladly vote for it. “I get more power and status if other people are treated like cattle.”

Failure is comforting. It asks nothing of you. You just wait for that failure to hurt someone else even more grievously, and then you laugh. Many people are happy to vote for complete and total failure.

iAmTheTot ,

As has been true for essentially all of human history. They don’t call us serfs anymore but little else has changed.

navi ,
@navi@lemmy.tespia.org avatar

Not caring would mean having no legislation. This is actively hating them, by banning legislation that would help them.
