‘The goal is to destroy Gaza’: Why Israel rejects a ceasefire with Hamas​

Far-right ministers (aka war mongers) threatened to leave and collapse Netanyahu’s coalition if Israel agrees to a captive deal and ceasefire.

Elon Musk is one of the smartest people on the galaxy

Just saw this pop up:

The DoJ is reportedly investigating if Tesla committed securities or wire fraud in Autopilot probe​

---------
I don't think he's actually that smart, overall, just in certain areas.

He uses his platform to attack all the competitors - Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Signal, etc. Lying about Signal the other day, see bottom tweet.

Attacks all legacy media. You know, the ones that will write stories about Tesla, him.

Making way too many enemies.

He got community noted lying about Signal:

And as a follow up.

So besides X removing 150 million bots, that's right, 150,000,000 bots they said. Now think how many bots they missed. Remember Elon said paying for a blue checkmark was supposed to help with that, when it was really just to get money.

So besides that, Elon would talk about child exploitation on FB and Instagram, then they posted this yesterday:

They had 1.5 million Child Sexual Abuse accounts suspended. It's good they suspended them, but how in the world do you have 1.5 million live Child Sexual Abuse accounts running around your platform in the first place?

"In the first quarter of 2024, 𝕏 submitted approximately 175,000 reports to the NCMEC CyberTipline and suspended 1.5 million accounts related to CSE."

So bad times are coming for Elon, it will all catch up for him. Tesla, X, SpaceX will all take a hit in the future.
------------
Then:
AI is bad, while pushing Grok AI. I guess only his competitors AI are all bad, his good.

Promising Robataxis for years, which will just take away jobs from people.

Same with his robots, again taking jobs away.

Probably some environmental terrorism coming his way like what happened in Berlin.

Then the Chinese coming for him.

Our government/more regulation, especially all the self driving car stuff. That will take a hit.

Come for the media, you'll see more stories like this:

Tesla's 'apocalypse-proof' Cybertruck thwarted by sand, snow, and regulator recalls​

His transgression, if you can call it that, is not being the extreme far-right MTG had hoped for... looks like lots of Dems agree.

 

[Particle]

US is/has been enabling Netanyahu. Israel will never agree to a 2 state solution....


So what the US can do??

Profit from both sides like a dirty capitalist?

 

[marijuanadomain]

"Forced sterilization on anybody who voted for Marjorie Taylor Greene... '

MTG is the classic case of an attention whore......
Some of her group do not want to get anything done,.just want chaos

I think most of the Republicans are realizing that Trump is losing his influence...

All it takes is one or two Republicans giving a finger to trump and the rest will follow

Record drilling under Biden

US oil output hits record as producers boost drilling efficiency​

https://www.reuters.com/markets/com...rs-boost-drilling-efficiency-kemp-2023-11-01/

The United States is producing more oil than any country in history​

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/19/business/us-production-oil-reserves-crude/index.html

More productive wells spur U.S. crude oil production higher​

--------------
97 degrees here already

If BIG OIL wins, we all lose.

 

[marijuanadomain]

If BIG OIL wins, we all lose.

So the government leased out land to oil companies to drill oil??so how much $$$ is the government getting?
So why not the government be the oil producer oil refinery and be the whole oil company??

 

[Cannuck]

So the government leased out land to oil companies to drill oil??so how much $$$ is the government getting?

Biden increased drilling royalties on public lands from 12.5% to 18.75%, the first increase since 1920's and BIG OIL is still making record profits.

So why not the government be the oil producer oil refinery and be the whole oil company??

They fund (lobby) political parties, why kill the golden goose?

Besides, the government double dips when they charge tax at the pumps.

Biden says U.S. won't transfer offensive weapons if Israel invades Rafah​

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/wh...bombs-killed-palestinian-civilians-rcna151377
-------------------------------

Somebody should tell Biden that Israel will bomb Rafah like hell first, and will be later when they invade it, when there will be only ruins. The same they have done in the rest of Gaza.

And you know, they have killed more than 15,000 children and wounded way more with their massive and indiscriminate bombing.

See this video and count 15,000.

I suppose that this video is hard to watch, but I think the world must see what's happening there, because it's harder for this people to get bombed daily like this. And most children.

So all those protestors should be put in jail and spent 1 yrs cleaning public toilets
USA public toilets are the worst in the world and they are always vandalized.
Go to SE Asia, they have the cleanest toilets in the world and they have toilet police checking all the time
