I also thought they had the opportunity to draw two black lines in an X over the dead twitter logo bird.

What is the point of your link? Can you not state what part of what I said that you disagree with? Regardless of what we might think of Iran now, it is a documented fact that the US & UK set the stage for, and then backed the coup against Mossaddegh to further the interests of their financial elites. My point was that the US is no paragon of democracy. If you want to disprove something about that, you should be more specific about what you believe was incorrect.

*small edit for clarity

Even when ethnic cleansing isn't actively going on, it's not a democratic state if any group of people native to the land are banned from voting, can't travel freely, and have a separate justice system that applies only to them. Iran wouldn't have been in the state it's in if the US hadn't staged a coup there because they didn't like the leftist leader people democratically elected.

Yeah I saw that and I was like "What, again? Why now?" Then I saw the comments. 😅

Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

(Also, DS9 was the best.)

Yikes. You'd think in a place where they know they will have extraordinary weather events, they would legislate special requirements to ensure everyone's safety.

Incidentally, I first heard about this saga when I saw a report a while ago about people being scammed by solar panel grifters (who overcharge for installing systems that provide little to no independence from the grid despite making those claims in their ads).

If you would like to see peace happen, then for a start, reject ALL of Likud's divisive and harmful lies and propaganda. You're repeating it yourself with the woefully inaccurate and incredibly politically charged terms of exchanging "fighters" for "children" framing. Palestinians-- many of whom are literal children-- are just being rounded up wholesale, including in the West Bank where Hamas doesn't exist. How can you call them "fighters" without charges, without evidence, without a trial... only on the word of the same IDF whose members have been proudly posting videos of their own war crimes? Wasn't it supposed to be never again for anyone?

No worries. Thanks for bringing up the article!

A couple of regions aren't enough to make it worthwhile, at least according to an article I read recently.

From the link:

  1. Economies of scale. Canada has a population of 39 million spread across a very large geographic area. Compared to other G-7 countries, retailers don’t benefit from economies of scale in Canada unless they operate across the entire country. A regional operator in the northeast U.S., for example, has a potential market of more than 125 million, while a regional operator in Canada is lucky to have a potential market of 15 million.
