  • Her money was pocketed by private insurance companies. Blame them, not a poor country that's under attack. US has way more than enough money to feed and house everyone, even if they quadruple the spending on Ukraine.

    Witnesses Say IDF Troops 'Executed' Women and Children in Gaza School
  • Yeah, that's not evidence of anything. It's clearly staged by Hamas, as so many other examples. Israel doesn't go around killing children, Hamas does. They're quite proud of it too, they posted lots of videos of it on tiktok.

  • A new report sheds light on how advertising is going at Elon Musk's X — and the numbers aren't good

    Here's a good comparison I've found: let's say you have a company and issue one million shares. You sell just a single one for $1. Now "technically" you own $999,999 worth of shares, even though you actually have one dollar.
