The saddest part about the thousands of dead chicks is that nobody bothered to file claim for the loss.

The post office just "write's off" the loss.

The post office will ship bees in the mail too.

The greedy landlords are leveraging immigration to increase their wealth. Immigration has made the landlords $3.7 trillion richer in the past 10 years. https://www.newamericaneconomy.org/housingmap/

I am not sure what can be done.

Systemic racism and global warming have been happening for tens of thousands of years.

This is what rising sea levels will do.

You don't think Dems and GOP had a conference to agree to this, do you?

Of course not. It just happened. Because only one party can be racist at a time.

So before Nixon's Southern Strategy, the Dems were racist, after the Southern Strategy the GOP was racist. Nobody doubts this.

But it leads to some interesting conclusions, which I pointed out above.

Further anomalies are that George Wallace was both racist, and anti-racist, depending on the year. He was governor of Alabama until 1987.

If you cant serve fried chicken on the first day of Black History Month, then how is this any different? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/06/school-black-history-month-fried-chicken-watermelon-new-york

The Southern Strategy by Nixon in the 1970's forced the Democratic Party to give up on racism.

Sadly, this means FDR and Kennedy were racists, but we can't fight history.

Thankfully progressive Southern States like Alabama continued to have Democratic Governors as late as 2003, which means they only recently became racist. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Siegelman

And Arkansas only became racist in 2015 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Beebe

And Texas only became racist in 2006 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Richards

And Louisiana has been cured of racism it seems, because they have a Democratic governor - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bel_Edwards

Florida turned to the dark side in 1999 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_MacKay

Kentucky has been cured of racism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Beshear

North Carolina is free of racism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cooper

Virginia waited until 2022 to become racist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cooper

History is a stubborn thing, isn't it?

This is so racist to post on the last day of Black History Month.

Exactly. And conjoined twins should immune to all criminal penalties, unless it can be proven that both of them committed the crime. Preferably using DNA evidence.

I'm not sure there is any case law on this. Say if one conjoined twin snitched on the other, in exchange for a reduced sentence.

YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I DID!!!!

This article looks like it was xeroxed.

I approve.

"hey, what do we call these wires, guy?"

"Yes."

Yes, anything over 51% gives the government of Norway control. But they still must pay dividends to the Hedge funds that own the other 33%.

And no, those dividends paid to hedge funds do not benefit the people of Norway at all, and that was my point.

Do you think it strange that private investors and hedge funds can invest in Norway's "socialist" oil company?

I do understand that. That's why I told you that Venezuela's government was the sole shareholder of PDVSA, Venezuela's national oil company.

Not only did Venezuela nationalize all the oil, they nationalized the food, agriculture, electricity, telecommunications, mining, manufacturing, and finance sectors of the economy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-election-nationalizations/factbox-venezuelas-nationalizations-under-chavez-idUSBRE89701X20121008

But you probably knew that.

By 2012, Venezuela had nationalized the oil, gas, electricity, telecommunications, food, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and finance sectors of the economy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-venezuela-election-nationalizations/factbox-venezuelas-nationalizations-under-chavez-idUSBRE89701X20121008

Norway's Equinor is 33% owned by Hedge funds, like Black Rock. https://www.equinor.com/investors/our-shareholders

And Bolivia was able to Build a skyscraper for the President to live in with all that money from nationalizing the gas. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Grande_del_Pueblo#/media/File:Plaza_Murillo_.jpg

The largest tin producer in Malaysia is Malaysia Smelting Company, which has never been nationalized, and is owned by private investors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Trading_Company

>Imagine if everyone in the country benefitted from oil production instead of just a handful of oil executives and shareholders. That would be TERRIBLE

PDVSA, Venezuela's national oil company, only has one shareholder. The government of Venezuela owns PDVSA, all of it.

I am sorry you had to find out this way.

The economic sanctions against Venezuela were super sneaky!

The first economic sanctions occurred in Aug 2017 - https://www.wlrn.org/news/2017-08-25/u-s-imposes-first-economic-sanctions-against-venezuela

But these were no ordinary sanctions! These sanctions travelled back in time to 2011 to cause Venezuela to starve way back then! https://www.cnn.com/2011/12/13/world/americas/venezuela-food-shortages/index.html

Even though oil prices were at some of the highest in recorded history, Venezuela was still starving, which is impossible! https://www.macrotrends.net/1369/crude-oil-price-history-chart

Then The CIA hacked Venezuela's currency printer, increased their money supply by 1,000,000%, causing the world's highest hyperinflation. http://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/rngs/VENEZUELA-ECONOMY/010040800HY/index.html

How can real socialism^TM ever hope to succeed against CIA currency hackers and imperialist time machines?

Over 7 million Venezuelans have achieved Freedom, by leaving Venezuela. https://www.unhcr.org/en-us/venezuela-emergency.html

Venezuela has very little strategic significance. The country is not "on the way" to anywhere. No vital sea lanes etc. Just a bunch of sour oil.

The Middle East is different. The Middle East sits at the crossroads to 3 continents, and is a vital chokepoint for the entire Eastern Hemisphere. Which is why great powers have been fighting over the area for thousands of years.

Also, the United States didn't steal a drop of Iraq's oil, unless the soldiers were sneaking it out in their canteens.

Exactly Zero US companies won any contracts when Iraq auctioned off their oil fields. https://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1948787,00.html

That's disappointing, don't you agree?

Ahem, excuse me. I mean to say "gender affirming care." https://apnews.com/article/gender-transition-treatment-guidelines-9dbe54f670a3a0f5f2831c2bf14f9bbb

I'm fine with children getting sex changes, but carrying guns is a bridge too far.

Maybe one guy picked all the coconuts?

Ah yes, the utopia with no corporations and no landlords.
