protist, to world in The conflict between Ecuador and Mexico brings new uncertainty to migrants crossing into the US

Jorge Glad seems genuinely corrupt and likely belongs in prison. Mexico probably would’ve handed the guy over after fully evaluating his asylum claim. Ecuador made a serious mistake breaking in to the Mexican Embassy, imo. Looks like Nicaragua followed Mexico in breaking off diplomatic ties with Ecuador too

Good. Hopefully they teach her how to use a condom

Extorting and profiting from private information is not sexist. Pretending that it is something that happens to women because they are women, that it doesn't happen to men, or that only men do it, is sexist.

I am addressing the journalist's claims (starting even in the subhead), which is pertinent. If sexists don't like it and are looking for excuses, that's their problem.

Mango,

While you’re right about what you’re saying, you done skipped the part that’s the problem.

Doof,

Read the damn article you turd

I’ve heard that trade between China and the US dropped by a lot. Is this where it went?

febra, to world in Cuba for the first time asks UN for urgent aid to provide milk for children

Lift the inhumane blockade and sanctions on Cuba already.

Rapidcreek,

There is no blockade or sanctions on food.

febra,

So what do countries need to get that food then? And what is stopping them from getting it? Couldn’t it be that inhumane sanctions are causing a financial disaster and by extension people can’t afford to import the things they need?

Rapidcreek,

In Cuba, the state buys the commodities and provides them to the people. The people get ration books that allows them to obtain various goods. For milk, I think the rule is that nobody over 7 gets any. Communist countries aren’t very good at planning for these kind of things. Remember when Venezuela ran out of toilet paper? So, the answer to your question is perhaps budget correctly, not spend as much on their military etc, and purchase milk instead.

febra,

And yet that still doesn’t justify the inhumane sanctions

Rapidcreek,

What sanction is inhumane?

febra,

en.wikipedia.org/…/United_States_embargo_against_…

Rapidcreek, (edited )

Can’t answer yourself? Just something that blames the lack of money? That’s inhumane? I’ve been to most Caribbean countries, and none of them are wealthy.

I think it’s amazing to see peole blame the US for Cuba’s problems.

febra,

Can’t read for yourself?

Would it help if I read out to you the three paragraphs I linked or what?

I’ve been to most Caribbean countries, and none of them are wealthy.

Well, guess what having no sanctions forced upon you does to you. It’s not like this is even a discussion. Just follow the UN reports on the sanctions imposed on Cuba lol

Rapidcreek,

I’m happy that you’re unable to make a cogent argument of your own.

febra,

Those are big words from someone who’d rather go on an ad hominem attack instead of addressing the sources I just sent your way.

Rapidcreek,

Address what sources? Some people say is not a source.

Dumbass. YouTube has single-handedly proven how broken the copyright system is and this dick wants to make it worse. There needs to be a fair-er rebalancing of how people are compensated and for how long.

What exactly that looks like I’m not sure but I do know that upholding the current system is not the answer.
