Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

You know what i have an idea for phone manufacturing companies. Why is this not a thing? Why are they not innovating? Please make a physical shutter like you get on laptops to block your cameras when not using it.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

Blaming car drivers here is dumb when Europe is the perfect example of when you change the infrastructure you change people's mode of transport. The Netherlands had a huge car issue and people protested for their kids dying in the streets. Now look how it has changed....

There cannot be a cease fire when there is no war. This is a genocide and according to Norman Fikelstein, the expert in this field calling it a war is propaganda. The UN has recognised it as a genocide. Journalists and politicians still calling it a war are part of the problem.

Its a genocide according to UN. Not a war. Its Palestine not Gaza. Its supporting war criminals, not freeing hostages. Its killing civilians getting aid and starving them, not a ceasefire.
