If a recession has to happen, it’s good that it’s hard to tell. For the average person, .1% up or .1% down is effectively the same. This is still a soft landing from huge inflation numbers and covid wreaking havoc.

I’m not optimistic but I do hope whatever reshuffle is happening in the world economy is making it more efficient and resilient. I don’t see the same disaster that others do. Apart from climate, the biggest challenge seems political rather than economic at the moment. Fascism and extremism are on the rise. History tells us more conflict is coming.

True, but they are the same people that keep voting in the far right. It’s the same in many countries at the moment.nthe far right is not supported by all, but by enough to gain power.

While you may be technically correct, a quote taken out of context can be misleading, as is the case here.

They chose the quote to be the title for that purpose. That’s clickbait.

Just go for it. If you’re not allowed, they’ll tell you and you can select something else.

I was quite impressed recently when I was in a vintage cellars (coles owned) and they had a sustainable 4 or 6 pack multi option. Basically, a way to hold them all together and allow pik n mix, but not plastic.

Yes and it specified hospitals as not being a target.

My point is that there are shades of grey in terms of what is considered political.

There is no evidence this far that anyone involved in healthcare was aware there were weapons, even if there were rumours.these we’re not military depots. So let’s not stretch the yruth. This was hiding things in secret locations. Certainly, they should not be there, but that doesn’t make the hospital political. It makes whoever chose the location callous with other people’s lives.

This was at one hospital. Currently, only a third of hospitals remain operational.

The Geneva convention also required to minimise civilian casualties. That is not happening.

I don’t think you will find anyone saying ammunitions should be allowed in hospitals. It’s clearly wrong. However, the deaths of the civilians seeking medical treatment is also wrong and objectively more so.

Misusing a hospital is a goalpost shift. Politics is in every aspect of life. If there is a poster in the hospital calling for socialism in a socialist country like Cuba, should they not operate there? What about a workplace safety sign mandated by government which might include information about how to contact their union?

There is no clear line of where politics ends.

You’re obviously purposely misinterpreting. There were weapons found there but its main purpose was a hospital and it’s still very unclear as to how much the hospital was used. We call the term a human shield as we as a species are meant to be above killing the innocent to get to the bad. I think it’s objectively worse to kill innocent people in a hospital including babies than it is to store weapons illigitimately at a hospital.

There is no right here. Only shades of evil. Hamas wish to carry out genocide. That’s horrible. Israel are carrying our genocide. That’s worse.

A true free market doesn’t require joint ventures either. There is no true free market worldwide and really, never has been. it’s a concept, not a reality.

It’s fine to be against IP rights but they serve a purpose. If China don’t wish to honour them, they could leave the wto. They won’t though.

Corporate espionage and requiring western comoanies to partner with local companies or government is not free market capitalism, but it worked.

How many properties are currently affected by this? 6 times the taxes is mentioned, but how much is that per property and in total? It’s odd. This is the second time I’ve seen this story and that relevant information is missing in each one. It reads more like a government press release to make it look like they are doing something but it’s window dressing only. We need structural reform in housing. Not just in Australia, but worldwide. It’s a necessity, not an asset.

I think the point is that it’s recent immigrants leaving. Emigration describes all people leaving.

I think there is a setting to how often it clicks. From rare, 10%, to all, 100%. I understand what you’re saying about it now. I didn’t realise the option for all was there. I thought it was more random.

The trackers can’t tell which are manual clicks and which come from the plugin. That’s the idea. It obfuscates your tracking by random clicks you don’t see. It costs them data and makes tracking you worthless.

Which one would they subtract?

Lol, there are many different types of curry. That’s like saying noodles. It encompasses Italian, Thai, Japanese, Korean…

Yes, food doesn’t have boundaries and fusion food can be great. Your point about people graduating from Indian to Thai still doesn’t make sense in that context.

You can also take the opposite and look at fortune cookies. Invented by immigrants and now associated with Chinese food. Is that any different to a foreign person creating a recipe in China with Chinese ingredients, or a French person in the UK using Chinese cooking techniques.

Is tempura less Japanese because the batter originated with Portuguese traders?

Adnauseum does this. I think it simulates clicks to ads and corrupts your advertising profile.

I think the point is they are very different cuisines, not interchangeable. They both just happen to be spicier than the American palate is used to.

I don’t choose food based on country of origin but what I fancy to eat. Sometimes that’s Indian foods sometimes thai, sometimes vietnamese etc.

I live in Australia where there is not a great selection of Indian food (despite a relatively high Indian population) compared to the UK where I also lived. Even so, there are different styles of Indian food with different dishes available just in my suburb. It’s nothing like Thai food, which also has a large variety. Both Indian and Thai restaurants have a few dishes that are ‘classic’ and available at most mainstream restaurants. Like, it would be odd to not have Pad Thai available, or in an Indian, butter chicken.

Sometimes I’ll want a pad Thai. Sometimes a butter chicken. The pad Thai is not better than the butter chicken. A green curry is not better than a jalfrezi. They are different flavour profiles.

I would say there is more crossover between dishes from Vietnam, Thailand malaysia and China, with varying levels of spice and flavour but very similar dishes available and common.

Again, you might prefer a Vietnamese sweet and sour chicken, but that doesn’t mean Cantonese or Hong Kong style is better or worse.

Re: they. If you don’t see the nuance between the different options I offered, perhaps you need to research more.

You are referring to Israel as “the Jews”. Israel and Judaism are two seperate things. Many Jewish people are critical of Israel. Many Jewish people are suffering from anti semitism due to acts of Israel.

You offer alternatives for them to work, forgetting of course there is corruption and malfeasance in all the alternatives you offered. Does working in those countries mean they support that? Logical consistency would mean they do.

Once again, the hospitals in Gaza are not military depots. They are I’ll equipped hospitals. Terrorists may have used the rules of war to hide things there, as destroying civilian hospitals is against the rules of war. The fact they did is a war crime. Bombing them is also a war crime. Working there as a doctor, with no links to terrorism is just that, being a doctor.

Abandoning a whole nation of people as there are terrorists among them is an easy way to abandon all apolitical medical help. They could not operate anywhere.

They is who? The government? Hamas the terrorists? Hamas the health authority?

Yes msf should just abandon Gaza hospitals altogether based on unconfirmed rumors (at the time) of the hospitals being used for weapon storage. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

MSF work in the environment that is available to them, wherever that is. Hamas is the elected government in Palestine. It just happens the last elections are 20 years ago and half are under 18.

Not operating there since 2007 would be taking a side, which, again, they don’t do. They treat patients.

You’re right, I don’t work for MSF. When I started the volunteer process, a minimum commitment was 2 years and I could not commit to that. I was not looking at Gaza, but Africa.

The whole point of the name is to say they are non political. You kind of don’t seem to understand the practical implications of that and require a purity of apolitical stance that does not exist in a warzone, or even a stable democracy.

I understand the point. I just disagree. If terrorists took over a hospital, Die Hard style, do you think the doctors are now terrorists if they continue to see patients? That’s not how it works. Hamas is both a terrorist organisation and the de facto government so the line is even more blurry. There aren’t an abundance of other health facilities the doctors can work from. That’s part of the reason msf is there, a lack of suitable health workers and facilities for the population. Even more so in a warzone.

I assume that is self made millionaires. They are likely entrepreneurial with a higher risk of failure in doing so, but greater rewards when succeed.

Inherited millionaires are likely risk adverse.
