Fascinating!

It’s absolutely a topic worth discussing and considering from a college or advanced high school level perspective imo as there is debate to be had. IDK if you saw it, the article I linked does discuss a lot of the benefits, and it discusses a lot of the downsides to those benefits. Like cotton from the south was definitely cheaper, but putting all their eggs into the slave estate basket meant they didn’t have a well developed industrial base, which you can see caused them a lot of issues in the civil war. It was also bad from their overall economy.

Fucking yikes. I wouldn’t have guessed that from just the title. I don’t understand why I don’t just assume the absolute worst when Republicans do anything these days 😂

What’s wild is, I actually went and googled this topic with an open mind. It’s not even true. There weren’t major benefits besides adding diversity and culture to our country, and there were certainly better ways to go about that.

For some more context, the article says four of the five units have remedied their issues, and the State Department is working with the Israeli government to remedy the issue with the fifth unit. I’m not sure what they mean by “remedy”, but I’m assuming they mean punishing the individuals responsible or something.

I’m hoping it’s fine given how many supplies have been coming from European partners as of late.

Someone doesn’t remember the 9/11 responder funding, hurricane funding, the rhetoric around COVID funding, etc. etc.

Well, if they’re allsides.com I must be mistaken! Apologies for the disinformation. 😂

I thought both sides did?

Yeah, but if Biden has to resign, he has Kamala as backup. If Trump becomes president and resigns due to mental issues, God knows what awful human we’ll be stuck with.

Yeah, my girlfriend and I were telling people, it’s great. We can just put holes in walls and no one can stop us. We don’t have to stress about a deposit or anything like that. It’s so freeing.

Truueee

I see you’re from feddit.de. Didn’t Germany have to prevent a planned coup by literal Nazis in the military, government, and police in 2022?

Oh no. Lemmygrad is leaking.

People like to say this, and I get it, I get the controversy, and I get why, but Florida was a statistical tie. A thousand recounts would have ended at the same spot of more infighting. The supreme Court was conservative leaning and decided in favor of the conservative to no one’s surprise. If the supreme Court was 5-4 liberal, Gore would have won.

The whole issue is so much more two sided than people realize. For example, the person who invented the butterfly ballots was a Democrat politician.

I am not personally in favor of the court’s ruling, I wish Gore had won. The world would be a MUCH better place without GWB having won the presidency.

Yeah, except a fascist US would be farrrr worse internationally and domestically than anything bush did in 8 years.

I’ll say the same thing to you as I did the other guy.

What until you hear about the war crimes of authoritarians. Just recently we have Assad gassing his own people, Russia stealing children, stealing land, and filling mass graves in Ukraine, Saudi Arabia murdering a journalist with a hacksaw. Bush may have started an illegitimate war, but the US military is comparatively very good when it comes to avoiding civilian casualties.

Trump. He tried to overthrow our democracy.
