The milk is nutritious enough to sustain you for a long time, the sugar in the chocolate milk syrup is really bad though.

Eating only 1 thing for prolonged periods is not recommended. Humans are omnivorous and we're hunters, gatherers, scavengers, and farmers for a reason.

Everyone here should choose option 3, but they wont.

I have enough more than enough knowledge, but mods don't like it when you say that it is an apartheid state as defined by international law, and that their own rhetoric, goals, and acts do constitute a genocide.

Starving out a population you have isolated, restricting movements, subjecting them to police brutality, literally murdering children that get too close to walls and gates with state approved sniper fire - and, openly cutting power and water while bombing hospitals and residential neighborhoods - really supports the accusations well.

At some point, people just need to get over Cuba.

The embargo and hatred for the island nation is anachronistic. There are much worse offenders of human rights that we have normalized relationships with.

The reason there is so much focused hate on Cuba is twofold:

1) Because it's so close to our American shores

2) Because despite having problems and being far from perfect... it's a successful communist experiment that has managed to survive despite being isolated and embargoed like they were North Korea.

I'm not a big Cuba cheerleader or anything, but right now - for any example of violence or human rights abuses perpetrated by Cuba against it's people, the United States has historically done far worse not just to it's own people, but oh say... South and Central American nations also. We have to hold everyone to the same standards if we're going to use specific events to disqualify a country's right to exist.

The "issue":

  • A democratic cabinet position is held by someone that once attended classes at a college where this one controversial leftist said something pretty radical.


Conservative response: "The entire left of center political establishment is corrupt and must be cleansed of these anti-American elements!"

  • Multiple known and publicly open white nationalists and what nationalist adjacent actors are placed into high level cabinet positions, win elections, and become welcomed media figures within mainstream republican electoral politics.


Conservative response: "But there's a black one too, so it's not racist."

He might even suggest that such discourse might push an otherwise tolerant and measured republican farther to the right into the arms of openly white nationalist movements.

They are now. Full Stop.

Every speech they give now: They don't have to come out and announce... "Hey America, I Donald J. Trump am a white nationalist leader, and I am moving the republican party to a more white nationalist platform."

But every speech now is culture war battling the degenerates and the scary internal threats that must be in league with the scary foreign threats. They are weak and inferior people, but crafty and aided by powerful globalists...that want to replace YOU!

The Nazis and other fascist movements have targeted the LBGTQ people first and foremost historically, and the current trans-satanic-panic aligns with the burning of books and attacks on gender clinics in Nazi Germany.

Also, let's not forget fascists and white nationalists are "bigly" misogynist and patriarchal. Now we have abortion bans and IVF bans with contraception bans, the ending of no fault divorces, and women's reproductive cycles being tracked across state lines on the table.

YES YES.... 1000X YES.... it's a white nationalist party now.

The embrace of illegal immigration was always so that corporations could exploit them for cheap labor w/ no power and drive down wages for all workers.
Progressives like to ignore that inconvenient truth.
And yes, Republicans are hypocrites that outright lie, taking advantage of the cheap labor while crying about it. The way to drive down illegal immigration is to jail their employers, which Republicans will never agree to do, because they are the employers.


No, progressives want them to become citizens more easily - especially if they show they want to come here to work and raise a family.

We want them to be non-exploited American workers, and join a union with us in solidarity - ideally. Realistically we want humane and reasonable immigration reform.

Republicans frame it in this insane, nonsensical, open borders, great replacement conspiracy stuff, and that's the framing the media always runs with - because the media corporations have the same billionaires on their boards that want cheap, powerless labor too.

Sports teams should not be franchises. They should be tied to their community. No team should be allowed to move wherever the fuck they want in search of handouts.

It's especially egregious because the politician that brings in the contract gets lauded as the hero and deal-maker bringing family entertainment to the community while pleasing a big donor.

But then the politician leaves office and the community is stuck with the bill and maintenance and any other potential issues - or the team decides Las Vegas or Houston has more money to throw around and move there leaving you with an overly large venue in need of the same security and upkeep.

They pay taxes and a lot of people will be employed who also pay taxes as a result, and the surrounding businesses will all get a lift as well.

Some.

And it will be bad or show no change for others. A burger shack will probably have boom periods and big days... mostly it's going to be the same corporate chains running motels, fast food and chain diners (Olive Garden, Chilis), gas stations marts, etc...

Essentially all serving the largely out of town crowd and pulling most of that money right back out into their internationally located tax shelters on a remote island in the Caribbean.
