Yeah, I can absolutely believe that the citation matches reality since it is a Israeli journalist pointing out how Netanyahu went to lengths to sabotage the peace deal and worked against the Biden administrations attempt at peace.

Still a opinion piece that uses a citation that does not support the argument contained in the opinion piece.

Then again, you can believe that Biden didn’t do enough, can’t say I don’t disagree just not to the extent you do. I simply this think this opinion piece isn’t great.

Yet expected.

So here’s what I pulled from the dropsite link in the article.

Netanyahu Sabotaged Captives Release Talks to Prolong the War

Biden officials revealed that Netanyahu deliberately tanked negotiations, fearing a deal would force him to end the war.

American-Israeli hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin was scheduled for release the day he was executed. Amos Hochstein confirmed: “There’s no doubt… those hostages would be alive.”

Netanyahu’s public campaign to retain control over Gaza’s Philadelphi Corridor was viewed by Biden officials as a smokescreen to kill the deal.

I’m not seeing damning proof that Biden didn’t do anything. In fact point two send to imply that Biden was doing shit to get a cease fire.

But if course this is a opinion piece so it’s not like you need to have citations that match the opinion.

SCOTUS ruled that anything the president does is not illegal.

Spoken like a Republican that doesn’t understand inflation and price gouging vs tariffs.

I mean it is the party of the Hard R after all.

Jesus, if only there was a party the was in the primaries that supported a voting system that isn’t first past the post.

Oh wait.

Blah, blah, blah.

Most people supported the impeaching the fat fascist in his last term too and it went nowhere because Republicans, independents voted the hard R.

And what’s different now? Not a damn thing. This will go nowhere outside of calls from the current Democratic leadership mewling pathetically and ineffectively for bipartisanship just like last time.

My parents, 35000 dollars for a two bedroom, 1 bath house 3 acres of land in the middle of BFE back in the 80’s

Today, 3 bed, 1 bath house with less than .25 acres, 200k same BFE area.

With inflation something comparable to my parents house in BFE, because it’s not changed all that much, should only be 100k.

And the recent minimum wage increase to 13.75 an hour passed by the people is in process of being revoked by Republicans.

And I do get tired of visiting home and taking to people that spout off the ‘back in my day’ bs.

They didn’t have a massive SURPLUS when they made the fund. They made a conscious decision to tax and create a new revenue source that made them a debt free nation they are today, something we could do here, but not at that scale or expecting the same results because the US is a much larger country, by not coddling the balls of corporations and the ultra wealthy or if the US wants to “drill baby drill”, tax and regulate the new sources of oil and create a SWF.

But again, you seem to completely stuck on the myopic view point of just saying the US has debt hence the US cannot create a SWF because of credit card debt.

And again, plenty of examples of nations that have national debt and deficits but still have and fund a SWF.

Anyways, this conversation is going absolutely nowhere so have a good day.

Hey Jefferies, Booker that’s how you fucking do a sit in.

We require more minerals…100 minerals for 97 sols, and buy 10 sols for .99, 106 for 19.99, best deal 543 for 49.99.

The fact you’re comparing national debt to personal credit card debt tells me all I need to know about your thinking here.

Also nice to know you think that Norway’s decision to start a sovereign wealth fund was a bad idea.

We can talk about of the US starting a SWF, especially in the age of dumbass Republican rule, is a good or bad idea but your stated fact that these funds are only for nations without debt is still factually incorrect.

Patently false.

Any nation can have a sovereign wealth fund, Australia has a sovereign wealth fund and they have national debt, hell even in America there are states with a sovereign wealth fund, even Alaska with their massive deficits and if your referring to Norway, they had national debt until the discovered oil and they created their fund with oil taxes.

And it might still be the term that won’t end.

150-ish is an easy fix, which is not unreasonable for a “simple” button replace or 220 if it’s more complex, like replacing a controller IC, which is also not unreasonable.

If someone isn’t happy with a honestly reasonable repair quote, they can go to ifix it and do it themselves. Hope you have a hot air soldering station of its a complex fix.

You’d think the world would have learned that lesson during and after COVID lockdowns.

Welcome to the Sam Vimes Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness.

That’s the kind of choice of surviving that comes with living while poor in America that happens way, way too often.

Boy if Betteridge was ever in play today, it’s this article.

I think we’re simply typing past each other then. My bad.
