    Y’all our foreign policy towards Israel hasn’t changed in the last 65 years. Yes, both sides serve them.

    So we have to strip that out of the system, since burning the system down doesn’t seem feasible.

    Which party do you think is most likely to see the light on them… hmm

    As usual Lemmy downvoting things they don’t agree with, even if it’s true.

    I was with a physician friend on the Las Vegas strip as a guy went down with a heart attack. I’m like, this is your moment! Go save them! And she grabs my arm and yanks me into a doorway so I can’t make a commotion, explains that no doctor will simply do that, it means they’re on the hook for it, when an EMT is just minutes away and is properly prepared to handle it. She said if doctors didn’t obey this unwritten rule, they’d constantly be giving out care to random people, possibly without admitting privileges in nearby hospitals, taking on liability they’re not insured for (being outside of a hospital), etc.

    So you’re completely right.

    I remind him, voting with our wallets is literally the only mechanism Capitalism provides for consumer ethics.

    It’s Prisoner’s dilemma. When we think 5m people are going to take the action either way, we don’t think our singular efforts matter. But as there are 5m of us taking the action, there are 5m singular efforts that DO matter. If people just don’t give up on the idea.
