There are voices inside Israel opposing this, but it sounds like (i don't have personal knowledge) all the moderates got co-opted. The opposition voices don't get any media play, not in the US at least. Some Israeli press covers them, or used to at least.

At this point the only serious solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict is the "one state solution".

That's my position, 100%. That they didn't is telling, imo.

Basically everyone is sticking their head in the sand re: Israel being an Ethnostate. Basically "sure, but they deserve it". That had some credibility behind it 70 years ago. Today? Not so much.

The billionaires need to be reminded of this.

From a public health perspective, from a global perspective, the best thing we can do is to get vaccines (and medicine in general) to the people who are getting sick. Waiting for people in the US/Europe to get sick is running the risk of this getting out of hand and potentially mutating. Beyond that, it's at a minimum going to result in people continuing to get sick and for the disease to stay in circulation, which means it'll continue spreading and require the US/Europe to continue paying for overpriced vaccines.

So it's easy to see why the company wants to do that. They just want the cash, they don't care how many people die. However, this is insane and the vaccine patent should definitely be taken from them.

For-profit medicine is an abomination.

Oh Jesus Christ that would go so much worse for RFK than it would for Vance.

Not just legalized, but trying to defend yourself against them--against their worst excesses--is illegal.

80hz has almost gotta be harmonics from a ground loop or something, given the rest of the story.
