Re: War in Gaza
Military spending effectively is short term stimulus. And most the stimulation is of wealthy contractor pockets. Well yes. And often not even stimulus at all. Just a transfer of wealth to wealthy investors who are squirreling the money away and not circulating it. My comment was in reference to the...

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?
I typically don't weigh in on this stuff, but I view this along the same line as the Fetterman fiasco: the democrats are proving to the world they can put anyone anywhere they want and get away with it.

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
Very sad. Most my experience with street people has been the same… they suddenly go dark once they realise you’re offering a real opportunity for change.

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?
I see zero problems with vagrancy laws and prison work camps for repeat offenders. The simple fact is, nobody HAS to use illegal street drugs, commit acts of violence, or yell at passersby. Work also provides dignity and in a compulsory setting, would steer such people into more healthy life habits...

The assailant was restrained and then another man came over and removed the firearm from the assailant.

Re: The Israeli state?
An obvious question is if this same concern for various ethnic groups to have a home and make a state of it extends to other people. Israel is run as an effective apartheid state where Jews have far more rights than non-Jews, regardless of citizenship. As do Muslim, Chinese, and many African states...
