Wow. I am shocked the Yemeni military were not able to sink a US aircraft carrier moving with a group of military ships but were able to strike and cause fires on singular trade ships, shocked.

In both cases they were acting in opposition to genocide, so I hope they have better luck in the future.

My condolences, I said goodbye to my canine friend this year. It's so hard. She looks like a very good girl. I hope you have some good photos and video. They're still hard to watch for me but they help me remember all the good times and adorable personality she had, and not just the pain of losing her.

It's the most american thing ever. A psychopathic murderer praised as a hero lies about killing desperate poor people from atop a temple of capitalism during a crises largely ignored by the government.

Yeah they made a really great game in the end. I bought it a couple years after release and loved it. I will be drooling over this one too but will be waiting for post release reviews.

Wake me up when my pay has caught up to the last few decades of inflation.

I don't think it's quite so simple as war is good for the economy in any term. War can have loads of positive and negative effects on an economy. It seems to me the war is good for the economy idea is an American construction as military spending is the only jobs program our ruling class likes to support, and military intervention is necessary to defend western economic hegemony.

We should also be aware those effects will be experienced differently by the ruling and working classes. War can shift economic focus away from satisfying domestic needs and allow certain industries and their owners to flourish and gain influence while workers see increased austerity and reduction in rights.

Good, fuck the Canadian mineral capitalists. Does anyone know if there is pressure to nationalize Panama's extraction industry? I didn't see it mentioned in the article.

Damn ~~Jewish bolsheviks~~ Russian interference threatening European whiteness. Same shit new century.

A player in my most recent session accepted an offer to become a vampire. I was settling in for a couple sessions of drama as I stacked more reasons for accepting the offer, nah, about 5 seconds in and they're ready for undeath.

I am not trying to pile on, genuinely curious about your perspective as a socialist.

I don't think many people around here have an issue with strategic voting alongside actual organizing and support. The way you worded your first comment sounded like uncritical support for Biden/Democrats in regard to their rail union 'achievements'. From later comments it doesn't sound like that is what you intended, but I am struggling to understand why they deserve any credit. Even from the article you posted, they removed the only actual leverage the workers have, then after significant public pressure, helped avert further unrest by convincing the companies to give less than 50% of the workers 3 or 4 days of paid sick leave a year. I don't see anything laudable here. (And for the absolute idiots, Fal@yifffit.net, I agree 4 sick day more gooder than 0 sick day).

Any time a famine occurs, look for the commie with a big spoon. Always taking the g(r)ains and giving nothing back.

What do you mean, what?
