Muddling up these two issues is so very stupid … just keep the climate message on climate, how fucking hard is that?
The driving force of climate change is the same reason for the military industrial complexe. Profits over people will always lead to these outcomes. You gotta be able to acknowledge and discuss this stuff.
Money from government contracts is more like a grant than profit.
Because?
Because it’s not actual business taking place. Profit is when you produce more value than you consumed, as evidenced by people being willing to pay your price for the goods or services you’re offering.
Government doesn’t willingly buy things in the same way as a consumer or other private entity. It is compelled to by law, and instead of computing actual value in its purchases it seeks minimum cost for a set level of service.
That isn’t an explanation on how companies who provide products and services to the government aren’t for profit.
I’ve worked for companies that had government contracts. They are for profit and it isn’t grants.
I don’t know it works in your mind but in the real world you can actually make good money (and profit) with gov. contracts.
It’s wild people are so ignorant to how our economic system works and how our government is entwined in it. Then again,
looks around
no, shit, that actually explains alot.
Both hamas and israel are commiting big no nos against each other. It’s very hard to even pick a side at this point because both have valid arguments and none are innocent.
Don’t both sides this. Israel has slaughtered 5000 kids and killed more civilians in a month than Putin did in Ukraine in over two years. It is deliberately targeting hospitals schools and ambulances and failing to distinguish civilians from combatants. Israeli politicians have repeatedly used dehumanizing language and called for ethnic cleansing. They have told proven lies about human shields while publicly bragging about how they are destroying Gaza.
She’s never been afraid to speak her mind. How do we address the issue of climate change, if we turn a blind eye to the suffering of innocent people and children done intentionally for vengeance’s sake?
This is valueless and destructive virtue signaling.
It is extremely valuable. She has a powerful voice and far-reaching influence. She is using her voice to advocate for the voiceless. Israel is an apartheid state, and they must be held accountable for the crimes against humanity they are committing and have historically committed against the people and nation of Palestine.
No as I explained above this is nonsensical virtue signaling.
