We don't have an issue that there aren't enough houses. We have more than enough houses. The issue is that they're not being utilized primarily because they're just being bought up for value by corporations.

Is it biased if it says exactly what happened?

It's almost like a bunch of colonizing powers came in and stole all their money and material wealth and usurped their country's political system and beggared all the people and then they didn't have the money time or motivation to protect the artifacts while they were all starving or being bombed

This should be the biggest sign to everyone that the democratic party is now basically the same as the republican administrations from two of our biggest war criminals and evil people in history. Reagan laid the seeds for all of this and Bush Jr was considered the worst president in our modern history until trump.

It is not good that dick fucking Cheney is endorsing Kamala Harris.

This is the type of delusion that eventually leads to fascism any way

"Hey don't try to change anything because obviously only one of two people can win"

"Hey you have to change things from the inside of the party, you can't just have a third party even though every half decent western government has multiple parties"

"If you don't want to vote for a genocidal enabler of capitalism and class separation paid for by the same people who pay for trump/hitler, then you're voting for trump/Hitler"

"You have to bring the super nuts authoritarian fascists into the group, and exclude the actual left wing people who are screaming for basic decency and rights for everyone"

"Oh no how on earth did the crazy right wingers take over the entire country who could have seen this coming? It's totally not the fault of a governmental party that can't sort their shit out and take on policies that a majority of it's constituents want, but instead keeps sliding as far to the right as possible every time they have to move"

I normally point a gun at things I don't intend to shoot as well... That makes total sense

And look what has happened to the US supreme court in the last few years... That seems to completely disagree with your point. It has been stacked with very partisan judges by politicians looking to game the system

I make less than 100k a year and my dogs insurance costs about that much. I didn't have insurance for him before because he was young and healthy but then he tore his ACL and the surgery set me back 6.5K. That wasn't exactly a drop in the bucket for me, at the time I had less than half of that in savings, and had to max out my credit card. So now yeah it sucks having to pay that much but if he does get a bad injury or illness - obviously I really hope that doesn't happen and I have him for many more years to come - as he grows older, it will cost me way less as a lump sum.

You're just making complete straw man arguments right now because I never defended the US once in my statement. I said Israel is running an apartheid state and maybe Hamas wouldn't be an issue if they weren't.

Yes the US is distinctly involved in Israel and the repression and genocide of the Palestinian people, and has been since 1948. However, that does not take away any blame from the Israelis being a violent apartheid state committing a genocide. And yes, I absolutely do blame them for being racist because Israel was the one who has created the conditions for this and every previous war in the region.

It is absolutely not unreasonable for people who were living in that land and were dispossessed of their land through no fault of their own, who are currently still being dispossessed of their land, and who are living in an apartheid, as they have been since Israels formation, to fight back against their oppressors.

By that logic the native Americans should never have fought against the colonialists and the Indians should never have fought back and killed any British. More recently by your logic Ukraine should not have fought back against Russia.

You have a right and an obligation to fight an invading power.
