They could. But they would never.

Stock markets are ruled by hype and fomo. Good corporate governance has little to do with returns, unfortunately.

They said that about Trump being nominated as well. Guess what happened?

Absolutely love Lucifer and Tailgunner. Wouldn’t put them in the same category, but highly recommended for fans of Iron Maiden or anyone who listened to Deep Purple growing up.

Tell me something I haven’t heard before. People have been boycotting Israel for years - has that achieved anything meaningful? Have Palestinian lives improved in any way, at all? Will a weaker Israel translate to better lives for people in Gaza or Hebron? The answer is obviously no. They need a rich neighbor if they have any hope of creating a state.

People have been saying that for decades, but Israel only gets stronger, and its neighbors only get weaker, or implode altogether.

I guess they’re going to find how irreplaceable they really are.

Didn’t they crush Biden for offering a softer version of this?

I hate trump and the gop. But I’ll also be the first one to admit that the dems are such fucking losers - very hard to actually vote for, because I know they’ll just do absolutely nothing with the mandate that is given to them.

The new mirrorless cameras are very small and have exceptional image quality. Paired with a good quality lens, it’s very portable, has long battery life, and lets you take actual good photos. My very, very old Canon 450D can still run circles around any cellphone.

Seems like a very easy fix to limit short term rentals. Many other cities have done so successfully.

It’s not exactly a secret that farmers are highly subsidized and without it beef would be extremely expensive. Same in every country, pretty much.

Two things: bots trying to push contrasting viewpoint and obvious propaganda, and mods not removing political posts immediately.

I believe it. There’s a ludicrous amount of garbage piled up all over Cairo, I think people like him can make a good living.
