It’s still super fucked up that you’re basically gifting some other person a sizeable chunk of your income just because they were able to put up a down payment and secure a mortgage. Landlords are rentseeking middlemen leaches that should not exist even by capitalist standards, see Adam Smith.

Paraphrasing donald trump, “inshallah”
Plenty of propaganda outlets would cast doubt on it. AP is preemptively doing it right now. If you read the article it is not talking about the threats, it is specifically discussing whether bombing power plants would be a war crime. Shameful
Yesterday I was thinking that trump might get angry that Iran is letting through some ships and try enforcing a complete blockade… this seems like the first step towards that
trump Threatens to Commit Even More War Crimes If Iran Maintains Sovereignty
FTFY
This is not misandry, in just the same way as having a woman antagonist in a story is not misogyny. There is no direct or implied generalization here, it just shows a single guy being an asshole. If you feel attacked by this comic, it’s time for some serious introspection.
Trying to imagine the poor kids trying to study history 50 years from now. Either half the quotes from him are censored, or we drop the “decency” standards a few notches
Great assessment TBH. Iran is clearly posturing here, they haven’t won yet, even though the US did lose already.
US plutocrats don’t actually care that much whether the stock market is red or green in the short term, they will make money from it either way. I think the existing strategy of jacking up oil prices (which will impact the economy long-term) and also hitting their assets directly where possible (e.g. datacenters and refineries) will have more impact.
However, it is also possible that with some reshuffling of the demands the ceasefire might actually hold. If they allow Trump to not lose face, they could get most of their demands practically met and be the ultimate victors in this. I hope this is how it goes, otherwise we might see a worldwide famine due to fertilizer shortages by the end of this year.
