Check out these pictures of Raqqa after US and NATO bomblngs freed them for democracy. 70-80% of buildings were destroyed. The “official” UN civilian death toll is listed as 4,118 but some estimates say the number could be 10x higher as the city lacks the resources to sift through the rubble. https://www.boredpanda.com/before-after-war-photos-aleppo-syria/?utm_source=duckduckgo&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=organic

The Cuban Soberana Plus vaccine seems to be working well.

They’ll blame it on Julian Assange.

How does the SEC continually ignore him manipulating stock prices through twitter? Another government agency made toothless to protect the rich.

Is cynicism something that should be avoided? I view cynicism as a healthy need to always question authority, the status quo, and majority opinion.

Chelsea (Bradley) Manning went to prison for exposing the US targeting and murder of journalists. Any reason to think they would care one iota about a journalist being killed anywhere? Jamal Khashoggi worked for the Washington Post and the US government did squat when the Saudis dismembered him.

That’s a Chinese hi-speed train headed right for them.

My daughter was just diagnosed with Long Covid and now has to get cardio-pulmonary testing every two months for a time period her doctors can only currently guess at. The long term effects of this pandemic are still a huge unknown.

The good news is that way before the anarkids get it, the rich will get their commupence and without looking at the flowers.

Since Windoze released 11, I’ve had a lot more requests. My goto distro ease their transition is PCLOS.

The AIs probably have higher moral standards than most human hedgefund managers.

I hope China adds help with the transition to Linux to their Belt and Road initiative as a lot of lesser developed countries could really benefit from dumping proprietary software and building a homegrown IT sector.

I watched Bangladeshi women and preteens offloading barges full of bricks by hand from sun-up to sunset. It was cheaper for the company owner to hire all those people than build a conveyor.

No worries, Biden will give them a $10b government contract to make up the profit loss like he did for Amazon. Nobody loves union busting like Joebama.

Workers are going to have to tighten their belts following the massive layoffs to come. Sacrifices will need to be made in order to maintain CEO pay and stock dividends. The government will need to step in with subprime bailout loans as these companies are too big to fail.

“Due to the spread of Covid, everyone needs to quarantine.” (I smile and dance a joyous jig on the inside while feigning sympathy for the wife’s anxiety over not socializing.)

Sad that you had to make an excuse for being a socially responsible mask wearer just to appease a knuckledragger. Then again, women have had to do it for centuries.

This is hilarious. Remember, vote blue no matter who.

Linux users don’t have these problems.

George Bush, Barrack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden to be extradited to Afghanistan on weapons charges.
