"So, there is no such thing as citizens," he said, referring to the ability of Hamas fighters to blend with civilians. "This is terrorism."

He went from being the top Nazi to hitting rock bottom.

Here's a Washington Post article from 2022 about Ukraine considering destroying the dam and hitting it with HIMARS to test their ability to destroy it.

In the neoliberal hell that is Finland the government that managed to make striking illegal earlier this year is now pushing through a change into labor practices to have a pay gap in lower paying jobs. This would mean the wages can never go above a certain level. They are calling this "an export focused wage model", loosely translated.

Isn't this basically mercantilism?

Unless they are willing to kill all 5.5 million people in Lebanon with airstrikes these tactics will never bring about victory.

Israel is willing to do so, they're just not able.

Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will;
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will.

The beasts that graze the hillside,
And the birds that wander free,
In the life that God has meted,
Have a better life than we.
Oh, hands and hearts are weary,
And homes are heavy with dole;
If our life's to be filled with drudg'ry,
What need of a human soul?
Shout, shout the lusty rally,
From shipyard, shop, and mill.

Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will;
Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest
Eight hours for what we will.

Ukraine was already at war with the Donbas republics when Russia intervened. The order is events is as follows. Russia recognizes Donbas republics --> Ukraine massively escalates the shelling of the Donbas republics --> Russia invades Ukraine. The central Ukrainian government repeatedly refused to actually abide by any of the ceasefires it had signed and was shelling its separatist regions on-and-off for eight years while Putin stood around with his thumb up his ass.

The animals in Chernobyl seem to still be doing fine as far as I can tell. Scientists are still studying them and publishing papers. There were was some extra radiation revealed by the dust being kicked up but animals don't really care about that, it's why Chernobyl became a wildlife haven in the first place.

We don't have downvotes here.

Ukraine's only way of winning is direct US/NATO intervention. So their only hope is to keep escalating and hope something happens. If Russia has an unmeasured response and begins attacking the NATO planes guiding Ukraine's attacks or commits civilian reprisals then that might be enough to get the US directly involved (maybe).

Here's an article. It's from all the way back in 2022 and it's from a newspaper owned by a billionaire. You can't really get more mainstream than that.

The specific ones I'm thinking of are called Business Analysts.

Responding late but by "email jobs" I'm talking about all the MBA jobs that corporations are stuffed with. These people mostly send out emails about if a project is done yet and hold meetings about how done projects are (usually color-coded to green, yellow, and red). They don't create surplus value so capitalists can't skim the surplus value off of them.
