Not even out of spite. Out of Practical concerns about the smooth and uninterrupted operation of the factory. Any time they need to send an engineer from Korea or need to have inspections etc their workers are at risk of detainment. Even if they had a100% American workforce which is unlikely, they'd need to send staff from Korea every now and then. The US just told them there are better countries to operate in where such things won't happen.

Intel never deserved trust. They rigged the game by cheating on benchmark tests and deserve the karma they are currently enjoying.

I guess the average consumer would not be very aware of Intel being so shitty, but now everyone has a reason to be wary of them.

I'm not sure that is the best idea because if they do get caught, they will never be released

Hey! This is a no logic zone. You are just supposed to be outraged, you aren't supposed to think it through. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Ideally, so few people sign up on principle that it is hugely embarrassing for him. They'd have to call it "Not tesla" to stand half a chance.

Unfortunately not everyone can afford principles in this world and I wouldn't blame them for signing up if tesla's strategy is to buy market share but I would hope that if tesla pricing is normal, they get shunned.

Will that may be true in itself, but why does he fixate on gold in his decor? I'd argue it is about the projection of success. His hotels for instance, he wants them to be seen to be the best in the world so he puts gold everywhere in sight because in his simplistic view, money equals success and gold is the most visual representation of money without actually being money. Just my take on the why behind him liking shiny gold things. He's just importing it to the white house now.

I'm sure the homeless in DC are all republicans, so they undoubtedly have truth social installed on their iPhones and are patiently waiting for their orders. In fact with all the jobs created in this booming economy the homeless already left to start their new careers at the new factories, right?

If you are intelligent you wouldn't need to talk about it because, people would know it from your thoughts and actions.

If you are a good leader you wouldn't need to talk about it because there would be more people following you than protesting you.

If you are good at making deals you wouldn't need to talk about it because you'd have a stack of deals to prove it.

If you are good at business you wouldn't need to talk about it because you would have a lot more successful companies than bankrupt companies in your history.

Etc etc etc.

This smacks of "look how well things are going !! If things were going badly would we be able to afford all this gold?"

Beware the man who is eager to tell you how good they are at something.

Funny aside, I think it's more about preventing escape

Tend to agree. The FDA seems to have been too easily influenced by business interests in recent years. Until now FDA approval was like a gold standard in safety but I think I trust the EU to make these kinds of decisions now. In general the EU now seems to be first to ban chemicals on the basis of safety. It's possible they are overly strict but I prefer too strict over too lax when it comes to things like this.

Ignoring the politics of this... American coke tastes like shit. That hfcs flavour is way inferior to sucrose flavour.

Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn't. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn't ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they're are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.

 

The Geneva convention was established to minimise atrocities in conflicts. Israeli settlements in Gaza are illegal and violate the Geneva convention. Legality of Israeli settlements Article 51 of the Geneva convention prohibits indiscriminate attacks on civilian population yet Israel attacked hospitals with children inside. Whether you agree or not that Hamas were present, children cannot be viewed as combatants.so when no care was taken to protect them, does this not constitute a violation? According to save the children, 1 in 50 children in Gaza had been killed or injured. This is a very high proportion and does not show care being taken to prevent such casualties and therefore constitutes a violation.

So my question is simply, do supporters of Israel no longer support our believe in the Geneva convention, did you never, or how do you reconcile Israeli breaches of the Geneva convention? For balance I should add "do you not believe such violations are occurring and if so how did you come to this position?"

Answers other than only "they have the right to go after Hamas " please. The issue is how they are going after Hamas, not whether they should or not.

EDIT: Title changed to remove ambiguity about supporting Israel vs supporting their actions
