"With the latest settlements, the number of people alleging abuse now stands at nearly 2,500"

So every Catholic church in major cities has thousands of sexual abuse victims? Did they just move the priests around and let them teach the other priests how to molest kids? How many centuries has the Catholic Church been molesting kids for?

Corporations and the ultra wealthy are buying votes through lobbying and it's perfectly legal. Our system is corrupt but they don't need to hide it. There's no need to pretend that politicians represent their constituents.

Every year the Treasury issues bonds in the amount of the trade deficit to balance out the goods and services exported vs imported. Those bonds are debt that the federal government owes. The money received for the bonds is accounted for but is essentially deleted from the economy... The federal government creates money when it spends, it does not need the money it collects from bonds. We could stop creating this debt every year but they believe that balancing out imported vs exported is important for some reason.

"He had injuries incompatible with life as a result of his fall."

Very sad and that's a strange sentence

The rich will exploit desperate people and use different groups against each other to keep labor costs low.

What a jerk

Just some people think like this, you can't categorize all of the far left

That was great to watch. Thanks

This election is really fucking with my anxiety.

O.o

It was caused by humans! He admitted it!

Okay, that's Wikipedia that I quoted

Wikipedia indicates there wasn't a massacre in Tiananmen square: "Several people who were situated around the square that night, including former Beijing bureau chief of The Washington Post Jay Mathews[f] and CBS correspondent Richard Roth[g] reported that while they had heard sporadic gunfire, they could not find enough evidence to suggest that a massacre took place on the square"

"In 2011, three secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing agreed there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square.[244] Instead, they said Chinese soldiers opened fire on protesters outside the square as they fought their way from the west towards the center.[244] A Chilean diplomat who had been positioned next to a Red Cross station inside the square told his US counterparts that he did not observe any mass firing of weapons into the crowds in the square itself, although sporadic gunfire was heard. He said that most of the troops who entered the square were armed only with anti-riot gear."

While they do provide sources that say the student death toll was likely high, most sources estimate around 500. (Again, not in the square itself)

I'm just trying to be factual- the students were funded and supported by Western forces including the United States, probably not to help the students and spread democracy and capitalism, but to create division. The students clashed with China's fucked up communist government and military. There's not too many possibilities when a civilian force clashes with a state military.

I support you if you oppose China's actions here, I just think saying there was a massacre in Tiananmen square is insincere.

I didn't know they were doing a farewell tour, the last show was in San Pedro? Very cool

They also (generally) don't like to have their water next to their food because when they drink they put their head down and can't see predators that might be attracted to the food.
