I sit at a desk at home, send emails, and make calls and get paid comparatively handsomely - these people have to stand over searing hot griddles, deep friers, and industrial equipment, risking serious injury at any moment for (close to) minimum wage. Doesn't seem right to me.

TIL Macguyver is a Ukrainian asset.

Nope - I've known true believers - while contrarianism is a big motivator, the beliefs are sincere... and from that level of conspiracism, it's a short walk to Nazism.

Because capitalism. The shareholders thirst - they will have their returns. Common sense, decency, legality and morality are all roughly shoved aside in service of "line go up".

For the reasons I gestured at above, it's clear Netanyahu is pretty indifferent about Jews being killed.

Is it an end he wants unto itself? No.

Is he perfectly happy to sacrifice thousands of Jewish lives to advance his own interests? Absolutely.

The point stands though - substitute "Juden" for Palestinian, and you'll struggle to find much difference between Israel and Nazi Germany. You'll remember that the Jews weren't the only people the Nazis targeted - they weren't even the first.

Oof - yep - I was way off on that one - thanks.

I'll leave that as-is though.

For some reason, this seems more at home in Iain Banks' culture series than Dune.

I'd love to have seen Jodo's Dune though - if seemed like it would have been wild if it ever saw the light of day.

From what I see, you'll get this in the next GOP term. It might take a year, it might take 10, but if you fuckers can't convince or bully the liberals into recognising and preventing the naked fascists from taking power... well, I hope you're fighting like your lives depend on it.

The whole world is inundated with news about the election, looking on in horror at the fact that Trump, in spite of everything has a 50/50 shot at the presidency. The fact that he remains viable is one of the worst enditements possible on the US government and people.

Yeah - we see you guys, and we've decided.

Thanks for taking the time to write that up!

That all makes sense - though unless there's info in missing, I'd argue the woman should have been responsible for managing her own allergies rather than her husband, but that's beside the point, and I understand your position on speaking ill of the dead.

Whatever the case, it does certainly seem like the truth was steamrolled by a good story - though I do think the waiver arguments underpinning that side of the case will wind up getting pressure tested in pretty short order.

Thanks again.
