"well, Gloria Arroyo might have been a corrupt technocrat that stole the 2004 elections, packed the courts with conservatives, pardoned the President that was ousted and jailed for plunder, and stole millions in pork, but at least she's not a murdering psychopath like Duterte"

I've heard this said, but perhaps in not as many words.

he's persistently disastrous in every cabinet position he's been in. He tried to ban books in prisons while justice minister only to have it struck down in court.

Anyway the eastern main line has changed ownership repeatedly because its just not profitable and he's been forced to nationalise it lmao

quote:

ISRAEL AND Hamas have fought three wars in the Gaza Strip over the past decade, and though it may not look like the others, a fourth one is now underway. Having tried and failed to defeat Israel with rockets and armed cross-border attacks, Hamas this spring deployed a new strategy: assembling thousands of nominal civilians to march on and attempt to breach the border fence, in the calculation that many would be killed. The result would be a moral and political defeat for Israel — and perhaps some relief for a regime that is literally besieged from all sides.

thats from the telegraph and i'm sure someone writing an article in that paper knows all about the gig economy. its owned by a pair of billionaires who own basically all the business on the island of sark. sark had a weird feudal system that they successfully convinced the island to get rid of for elections then promptly pulled all their business out when their candidate didn't win

When the West Virginia teachers' strike was starting up, our local DSA asked what they'd need for strike support. The response was that we should donate to local food banks because so many of the students couldn't get enough to eat without free school lunches, which they couldn't get since there was no school.

This also happens nation wide every single summer :911:

Who Moved My Cheese? was propaganda for the workers to get them to accept whatever they are given, and that article is propaganda for the managers that the first propaganda is totally working.
