Even in petrostates? But most petrostates are not run by the people or for their people, so petrostates will keep being petrostates until demand for oil in EU/China/India dries up. worldstopexports.com/crude-oil-imports-by-country…

Yea, but who builds infrastructure? Where I live, 50% of the workforce in construction is immigrants.

PS: I’m not saying what you say isn’t true, it’s just weird to see countries that were built by wave after wave of immigrants now say it’s not working anymore. What changed from then to now?

PS2: vox.com/…/3-theories-for-americas-anti-immigrant-… probably it’s inequality making the majority of people feel like if they don’t have enough for themselves, how can new people move in?

also: I was wrong, there’s always been some pushback against the wrong kind of immigrants e.g.:

Fell down a rabbit hole, sorry for the linkdump, this stuff really puts into perspective the stuff happening in american politics today.

Wasn’t there a new infrastructure bill recently?

It’s almost like an emotional state. What is complex for dogs is smell, the way they read the local bulletins pissted by all the locals, their health, their fertility, what they have been eating, their emotional state. And then they can leave their own peemail for others to smell and get all the latest community news :)

It’s not a trap, because they were warned beforehand about what would happen if you did it. It’s a dare, like in “Jackass!”.

Feb. 12 – After another unfruitful phone call between Biden and Putin, U.S. officials warned that a Russian attack on Ukraine could come at any time. A Kremlin aide accused the West of creating “hysteria.” “The Americans are artificially inflating the hysteria around the so-called planned Russian invasion,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters after the call between Biden and Putin. “The preconditions for possible provocative actions of the Ukrainian armed forces are being created alongside these allegations.”

Hamas Wants Guarantees Ceasefire Will Actually Happen, While US Says Hamas Is Rejecting the Proposal (truthout.org)

Following the UN Security Council vote to approve a three-phase ceasefire in Gaza, U.S. officials and other international allies of Israel are cynically placing blame on Hamas for a stall in current ceasefire negotiations — even as Israel has insisted on indefinitely continuing its massacre in Gaza and Hamas has said its main...

Guys, this war is not going to end before the US election, stop pretending: bibi and his fascist buddies want to get trump into the presidency so they can do whatever they want. nbcnews.com/…/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rc…

hamas thinks that more victims means more support for them and they are never going to surrender or hand over the hostages. wsj.com/…/gaza-chiefs-brutal-calculation-civilian…

PS: The disagreement in the negotiation is the ambiguity on the permanence of the cease fire: hamas wants guarantees that the war will not continue in the future. Biden is not in a position to give or force that guarantee if he loses. Israel does not want such a guarantee, because they think they can eventually exterminate hamas faster than the suffering of palestinians radicalizes new militants.

Electric cars will not solve climate change, public transport even if it wasn’t fully electric could…but nobody seems to give a shit about that :/
