Beefin··on ICJ orders Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza, stops short of ordering ceasefire
West Bank settlers are overtly funded by right-wing christian evangelists from the U.S.

The Likud turns a blind eye because its basically a free military. Moreover, it provides a military buffer between Israel's mainland population and much of the radicalized West Bank population.

> Just imagine what £22bn a year invested in public services and infrastructure could pay for

the problem is most public services are hilariously inept. the bill and melinda gates foundation did more for eradicating malaria than USAID did since it's inception...

anduril has done more for military defense per $ than northrop, lockheed, and raytheon...

private insurance is infinitely more effective and cheaper than obamacare...

its silly to say "oh they should be taxed more", because then the $$ is in the most inept institutions.

a better solution would be to enforce some kind of philanthropic organization. say elon musk needs to donate 10% of his capital gains to whichever 501c3 he wants, and it can be his own... that is affter all what vanderbilt, rockafeler and carnegie did.

Beefin··on Fast Fashion Emits 10% of Humanities' CO2
respectfully disagree, the designation of sustainable means not only are they not employing harmful resources to create the product, it's also longer lasting.

less child labor, harmful materials, and will last longer is a win in my book.
