wintermute_oregon , 2 months ago to world in China must stop aiding Russia if it seeks good relations with West, NATO says

No you are fear mongering. Trump has already supporter Ukraine, he just made another statement backing Ukraine and helped get the vote through.

His public statement wasn’t he’d pull America from nato. What he said was nato needs to pay their share or we will leave which is fair. Europe needs us for defense. We don’t need Europe for defense.

You’re fear mongering. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Trump. You don’t have to lie and fear monger to find a valid complaint about Trump.

Trump will not leave nato. That’s just fear momgerong and gore against his public statements.

And not a few countries. The bulk were not contributing what they should and Trump was right. Russia was a threat. They should have listened.

I don’t frack. So I’m not sure you mean by you. Nor do I support fracking. Gas should be expensive.

Argentina achieved its rare surplus by slashing three-quarters of transfers to provincial governments and halting nearly 90 percent of public works, Milei said

That isn’t glowing per se. If the public works need to be done, he just halted needed work. If it was waste then he did a good job.

I don’t know enough Argentina to know what the transfer entail but in America, that wouldn’t be good since it would halt productive work.

Nobody is going to gut nato. Trumps whole schtick was they need to pay for their own defense. It appears nato is paying attention now after Putin invaded.

We can’t. We sent some much production there we should worry that China may put sanctions on us. It’s why we shouldn’t have allowed manufacturing to move there.

I won’t buy from scalpers. No way. They add zero value and are like parasites. Microsoft and Sony should have taken a firm stance against them.

Course I pay double ? Sure at the time I had the money but I won’t do it because of the ethics.

wintermute_oregon , 2 months ago to gaming in Call of Duty and Diablo boost Microsoft's gaming revenues, but Xbox sales continue to fall

I was going to buy one when they came out but they were hard to get. I never got one and don’t see the need to buy one now.

I will not pay over list for a game console. That is just bad money skills.

I would agree. As the climate changes, what is important will change.

I think the average person outside of America doesn’t grasp the size of America. We have enough water, land, etc to feed our population if we plan correctly. Other countries don’t have that luxury and wars can be caused over a shortage of water and food.

That’s moving the goalpost.

The pay their fair share of income tax.

The issue is there is a way to avoid income.

That’s the problem we need to solve. Technically they’re taking on debt to avoid taxes. Sounds reasonable but those are loans we couldn’t get. It’s just a tax avoidance system.

I have not heard that. That would be cool.

There has been talk of moving more electric but I haven’t seen much.

The problem is the haters. If done right it’ll make our military even more lethal.

The m1 consumes about 6 gallons per mile.

In a large war that is a lot of fuel and supply lines.

I know of Iraq/Afghanistan. They were testing solar to power the bases because they required so much diesel, and those were the convoys being attacked.

I know people will call it woke but we need to green up the military to protect lives.

wintermute_oregon , 2 months ago to world in Bernie Sanders issues scathing statement directed at Netanyahu

You didn’t cite anything. When called out, you make a personal attack?

wintermute_oregon , 2 months ago to world in Bernie Sanders issues scathing statement directed at Netanyahu

It really boils down to this: why would you go to bat for people who have more than you? Because someone always has more than someone else. Unless you are number one, someone always has more than you do. A fair society is not one that punishes the successful people. You make sure the system is fair.

It does not make sense for people like you to say millionaires “pay their fair share” when they only become wealthy due to exploitation of everyone else who has to work for a living.

I don’t buy that at all. Going to work is not being exploited. I go to work every day, and I am not exploited. I am paid fairly for the work I do.

If you’re over the age of 18 and you still haven’t figured these basic facts out, that means you’re being taken advantage of left and right without even realizing it. Or maybe I am not being taken advantage of. Maybe I am paid fairly for the work I do, and I am happy with my pay. the only thing I am unhappy about is having to pay more than my fair share of taxes for people who don’t want to pay their fair share.
