      I’ve not yet had it happen to my family or anyone I know, but there’s nothing America would push for if it meant singling out a creed.

      COVID-19 was detected in China? Clearly they’re disgusting, we need to limit imports! Have fox news make citizens commit hate crimes to any East asian!

      Israel is attack Palestinians again? Arab people deserved it for 9/11! Arrest those who want less bloodshed!

      Black people are rioting for their rights after murderers getting off scott free? Monsters! TVs are more important than human lives! Fund the police!

      9/11 happened? Ban all Arabs! Anyone with a turban is the enemy! Speak American as we erode your rights to catch the next terrorist!

      Pearl Harbor?! Detain every Japanese citizen into camps! Steal everything from them and never give it back!

      America claims to love freedom and be a melting pot but man does it love to use those for justifying hatred to the current target minority scapegoat of this week’s 2 minutes of hate.

      The plane crashes and surge in popularity of Nazi rhetoric suck and all, but stay focused on the important things: we stopped that trans kid from playing tennis against real boys!! Worth it, right?!

        Don’t kid yourself, they don’t care about trans men. They see them as women and they sure as fuck don’t care about women.

        I thought the real thing was keeping Kamala from genociding Palestine? At least they’re ok now since people stayed home or protest voted.

          Of all the single issue protest votes, I at least respect where the anti genocide bloc is coming from even if I did think their reasoning makes no sense.

          At least they’re not like the single issue abortion voters who want to make sure that the only way to end a pregnancy viable or otherwise is to kill the mother.

      Surely it must mean the planes are the cause of the high cost of eggs! Thank goodness they’re doing something about them.

      Pediatric patient among 6 on plane that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia: ‘It was just horrific’

      So… A child? What the fuck is this headline?

      The headline was weird to me at first, but it WAS an air ambulance… I guess it makes more sense than I gave it credit for.

    The big concern if crashes increase will be that people won’t fly as much, which will hurt airline and hospitality industry profits.

      Huh, I would’ve guessed that the big concern if crashes increase would be that more people would die.

      Of course, how could I forget about profits! /j

        People may die, but CEO’s have feelings too! How would you feel if you only earn 200mljn instead of 210. I don’t get it why no one ever takes the side of big companies and always look at people suffering by these companies. Oh wait, no, that’s not true, most American citizens indeed voted in favor of big companies and CEO’s at the cost of the general public. Never mind then.

            If earning 200m puts you 10m in debt, you’re already 210m in debt right now? How did you manage to do that?

              Oh no, I mean based on my current income. If I made 10m less than I make now, I’d make about -10m. My yearly income is about 54k, or 0.054m, so subtracting 10m would get me to -9.946m.

              I was trying to make a joke about how much 10m is for the average person, yet it’s rather minor when you’re already making 200m.

              In fact, I’d be very much happy to make just those 10m, I don’t even need the 200m, nor would I need it more than once. A one-off sum of 10m would be more than enough to solve a lot of my problems and still have plenty left to be ready for future preparations.

                But 10m out of 210m is ~5%. In your case 10m is ~2000% so you can’t really compare it. If you do want to compare it, it’s like you would loose ~5% out of your yearly salary, so 2.7k out of 54k. The question is, would you prefer to trade in 5% of your income for human safety, or do you prefer people to die?

                  you can’t really compare it

                  My point is that ridiculous difference. 10m is a lot of money, yet these people wouldn’t actually lose much because what they have left is still so obscenely much more.

        Well in fairness, if you hurt those industry’s with less travel, the people in those industries who end up out of jobs and with no money will die at greater numbers. They would be mostly outside the US though, so this administration doesn’t care about that. But at the same time, if they gut the programs in the US that are peoples saftey nets, maybe it will include Americans.
