When the stock market became the main metric of success for both parties was when the working class was well and truly fucked.

It is and always has been insane that all these governments run mostly on Windows.
A lot of them use to use a lot of IBM mainframe stuff behind the scenes, and there's still a fair bit of it around underpinning things, but pretty much all of the new projects are Windows-based.
It's also naive to think that Israel is only facing murderous terrorists in Gaza, the entire arab world has wanted them destroyed for decades.
They've wanted to conquer the whole Arab world since forever, and they are now attacking pieces of it outside of Gaza. They wrote themselves a book that said it was all theirs, and now they're trying to make it come true. The evangelicals are helping them try because they believe it will bring about the end times. As it happens, there's several of the foretold signs around right now, so they naturally think it's working and are doubling down. In the bargain, we have the tools and equipment to make it happen, and long since furnished the technology to Israel to try to make it happen sooner. But they kicked out Netanyahu and things were looking relatively sane for a while (though the Israeli settlers never stopped stealing more land or murdering more Palestinians) and we're all supposed to believe that none of it is their fault. This would be funny if it weren't actually terrifying that people can believe that.
If the roles were switched, there wouldn't be a single Jew left alive in Israel right now
Soon there won't be any Palestinians alive in Gaza.
Netanyahu is just as bad as Hamas, both of them need to go. Hamas is going, and Netanyahu won't be in power forever
It won't take him forever to finish his genocide.
Because ignoring US courts means that fines won't be effective. It would make it far more difficult for the UK to enforce an fines, leans, or freezes through US banks if there is a favorable US judgement. The process for enforcing fines is so incredibly complicated that you basically need a dedicated legal team to deal with fighting them, it's usually easier to pay the fine once then comply.
The managers were so busy with Perf* that they were unavailable for 8 weeks out of the year.

I'm very liberal but I do not in any way excuse what happened on Oct 7th, quite the opposite. But choosing to back Palestine is a moral decision isn't the same as the willful ignorance and lies told by the right.
Is it even "backing Palestine" to oppose genocide of Palestinians? I can't stand either religion whose followers lay claim to Gaza, but I don't think that disliking someone's religion is sufficient justification for genocide. Israel was founded on the British partition of Palestine by the USA through the UN and it immediately began literal and self-described colonization of as much land as it could get its hands on, whether or not it was included in the lands which were handed to it.
Hamas is terrible, but it was founded in the eighties and in response to Israeli terrorist organizations which were murdering Palestinians, and Netanyahu has repeatedly and publicly told us that he makes sure Hamas receives funding which is sent to it as part of his Gaza strategy — so not only does history not start October 7, but Netanyahu deliberately made sure that something like the October 7 attack would happen, and then proceeded to go from semi-genocidal behavior to fully genocidal behavior. Therefore it's clear that his goal was always genocide. What did the world expect Palestinians to do, roll over?
To me, both Hamas and Israel's terrorist organizations are the enemies of not just all people who even believe in morality, but also the future of humanity because this conflict increases the chance of nuclear war day by day. We are closer to it today than we have ever been because the US-Russia cold war was between two nations with some things to lose. But Hamas was also inevitable and the blame for their successes falls on Netanyahu's willful insurance of their funding. And We The People of these United States of America have in turn enabled both him and Israel to do what they are doing in the region.
On that basis, we've already picked sides, and we've chosen the side of genocide.
You antinuclear scumbags always have to lie don't you!
HahaHAHAHAHhAHAHAhAhAHAHAHAHA
Nuclear can only be sold with lies. And here you are trying to sell it even though you never get paid, what a simpering clown.
My "ranting and rambling" makes sense in the case that I reject your intimation that there is any relevance whatsoever to the cost
What kind of cost are you babbling about? You never were smart enough to communicate clearly, and you still aren't.
Ad Hominem is not a white rapper.
Deforestation contributes to AGW contributes to food insecurity.
Your argument depends on not considering sustainability.
+5, Funny, for this?
Triggered, coward?
you had to add the second because you're a vulgar amateur
That was the funny part. All you've done here is proven you don't understand humor, and been cowardly.
And to think I probably used to sound like you guys twenty years ago.
When exactly did you become a simp? Why are you proud of that?
Point to where I said you did.
Your ranting and rambling only makes sense on that basis.
That's one reason, but there is also that the execs and managers want to look busy.
Time is an illusion perpetrated by the manufacturers of space.
