Please share with us evidence from a credible source that George Soros has the same agenda as does Hamas: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." https://aseannow.com/forum/158-world-news/ Whether or not my definition of Kapo is simplistic, you have provided 0 evidence to support your claim. The gist of the forum rule can be summarized as put up or...

For those who don't know what a "Kapo" is, in WW2 it meant a Jew who helped the Nazis corral and exterminate fellow Jews. Now, that I've cleared that up, please share with us any credible evidence you have to support that claim. From the landing page of the World News Forum: "Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source." https://aseannow.com/forum/158-world-news/ I advise anyone awaiting the production of such evidence from Yagoda not to hold your breath.

Clearly, Netanyahu is sincerely interested in pursuing peace negotiations. Oh, wait a minute... Ismail Haniyeh, a Top Hamas Leader, Is Dead at 62 Mr. Haniyeh, the militant group’s exiled political chief, managed high-stakes negotiations, including the ongoing cease-fire talks to end the war in Gaza. https://archive.ph/bYj07

In fact, there is a huge amount of actual verifiable evidence the contradicts youreavinalaff's claims. I don't understand why some people believe that alleging facts based on personal experience on issues of public policy is valid evidence. That kind of personal unconfirmable "evidence", if it can be dignified as such, should be reserved for forums about home repairs and similar forums.

If you have a genuine objection, you should back up that claim with reasoning.

"They are not dissatisfied with the NHS, they just don't like the wait." Thanks for the laugh. I could just see some company claiming, "We're not losing custom because shoppers are dissatisfied with our offerings. They just don't like waiting in long, slow lines."

Here's your question again: Was your reply based on the fact that private insurance isn't technically paying doctors? That it's the insurers who pay? That's a pretty misleading reed on which to anchor your argument. The point being of course, that a rising number of Britons are so dissatisfied with the NHS that they are paying additional funds out of their own pockets to patronize private care. But even by that misleading standard of yours, according to the article, private payments directly to doctors have also risen to record levels.

Income must have been going up? "By the time inflation started to surge, both productivity and pay had been stagnating for well over a decade.Real wages grew by an average of 33% each decade from 1970 to 2007; but they are now back at the level they were at in 2005, according to data from the Office for National Statistics, ONS (Times, 2023)." https://www.economicsobservatory.com/why-has-it-taken-so-long-for-stagnant-pay-to-become-central-to-uk-politics

The past and future of NHS waiting lists in England The NHS elective waiting list in England was already growing pre-pandemic, as growth in demand for care outstripped growth in the service’s ability to provide it. The waiting list doubled in a decade from 2.3 million ‘incomplete pathways’ (where the patient has been referred but is waiting for treatment) in January 2010 to 4.6 million in December 2019. Waiting times also increased over this period, particularly the longest waits. https://ifs.org.uk/publications/past-and-future-nhs-waiting-lists-england

Demand for private healthcare hits record high in UK Demand for private healthcare has soared to record levels in the UK as patients increasingly turn away from an NHS beset with chronic backlogs, data published on Tuesday showed. There were 898,000 admissions to private hospitals in 2023 — more than any year since records began in 2016 — according to the independent Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN), an organisation paid for by private providers that tracks treatment data. This represented a 7 per cent rise in the number of times that people opted for private treatment since 2022, when the figure stood at 836,000. https://archive.ph/6342s https://www.ft.com/content/a4f07a08-b7e9-4330-9915-c2640edf7866

Thanks for the falsehood. Solar Mini Grids Could Power Half a Billion People by 2030 – if Action is Taken Now The deployment of solar mini grids has seen an important acceleration, from around 50 per country per year in 2018 to more than 150 per country per year today, particularly in countries with the lowest rates of access to electricity. This is the result of falling costs of key components, the introduction of new digital solutions, a large and expanding cohort of highly capable mini grid developers, and growing economies of scale. Solar mini grids have become the least-cost way to bring high-quality 24/7 electricity to towns and cities off the grid or experiencing regular power cuts. https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/09/27/solar-mini-grids-could-power-half-a-billion-people-by-2030-if-action-is-taken-now

So much nonsense here but my favorite comment of yours is "Trump is not beholden to big tech.". Why do you think that Vance, a protege of Peter Thiel, a die hard supporter of technocracy, got to be Trump's vice-presidential candidate? Vance won the Senate nomionation and election in Ohio thanks in large part to huge financial support from Thiel. A mole hunt, a secret website and Peter Thiel’s big risk: How J.D. Vance won his primary The former Trump critic leaned on a super PAC and his billionaire patron to put him in position for Trump’s all-important endorsement https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/03/jd-vance-win-ohio-primary-00029881 Trump is now campaigning on an offer of government support to cryptocurrencies. Wealthy industry donors fuel Trump’s conversion on cryptocurrency The former president called cryptocurrency “a scam” and a “disaster waiting to happen” during his term in office. https://archive.ph/GuZ5N Trump proposes strategic national crypto stockpile: ‘Never sell your bitcoin’ Former President Donald Trump said that if he were returned to the White House, he would ensure that the federal government never sells off its bitcoin holdings. But he stopped short of proposing a formal federal reserve of digital currency. “For too long our government has violated the cardinal rule that every bitcoiner knows by heart: Never sell your bitcoin,” Trump said during his keynote speech at this year’s Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, the biggest bitcoin conference of the year. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/27/trump-bitcoin-conference-harris.html

Or maybe you don't really get out to places where the air is really clean so you don't have a clue what unpolluted air is really like.

It just shows how degraded your standards for air pollution are that you consider the current level in a populated area like Chiang Mai "fine". Here's the current reading for Chiang Mai's air pollution level: "PM2.5 concentration in Chiang Mai is currently 2.2 times the WHO annual air quality guideline value" https://www.iqair.com/th-en/thailand/chiang-mai

Well, there is a phenomenon called Cargo Cultism where the locals worshipped airplanes as magical bringers of goods from the outside world. So your misplaced belief does have precedents.

So, you're seriously claiming that the air pollution in Bangkok comes from agricultural burning? And even in Chiangmai, unlike in the rest of the world, vehicles burning diesel and petrol don't create pollution? That's positively miraculous!

Thank you for your thoughtful and fact-filled analysis.

And an empty one, to boot.

And there's this: China warns against meddling in Kazakhstan ahead of Putin meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping has kicked off a visit to Central Asia with a no-nonsense statement of support for the territorial integrity of his first host country, Kazakhstan. It sounded like an assertive statement of intent from Beijing, coming just before Xi meets Russian President Vladimir Putin this week in a face to face that the world is watching closely. Russian-ally Kazakhstan has been shaken by the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine, while facing down saber-rattling from Russian nationalists angry at what they deem Kazakh disloyalty over the war. https://eurasianet.org/china-warns-against-meddling-in-kazakhstan-ahead-of-putin-meeting Probably because of considerations like this: Kazakhstan’s Border With Russia Is Suddenly an Open Question Again Moscow has long claimed parts of northern Kazakhstan. The country’s current turmoil makes those claims a lot more relevant—and troubling. Amid nationwide protests rocking Kazakhstan this week—which have already resulted in bloodshed, political turmoil, and the end of former dictator Nursultan Nazarbayev’s cult of personality—the country is going through an unprecedented shift. But as Kazakhstan continues to roil and as troops from the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russian-led military alliance, flood the country to “stabilize” the situation, one potential outcome is suddenly very relevant yet still overlooked: state fracture. Specifically, the potential for a revanchist Russia to use Kazakhstan’s domestic turmoil as a pretext to seize a swath of northern Kazakhstan, which Russian nationalists have long coveted and ethnic Russian populations in the region have long toyed breaking off from. https://archive.ph/KYS31#selection-971.0-979.370

He was preaching to the students that homosexuality is a sin. Clearly, preaching that to students who may be gay is going to harm his effectiveness as a teacher. That's the issue.

Hypotheses contrary-to-fact are a convenient dodge for those who have nothing in the way of actual facts to offer.

I decided to check on the date of that poll and it's relation to subsequent ones. Your evidence is even less compelling. You'll notice that the Gallup poll is all the way at the bottom of the graphic. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/joe-biden/?ex_cid=abcpromo

Using one poll to support a claim against the findings of so many others is not so compelling a tactic for those of us interested in reality.

And that justifies cherry picking on your part?

He dropped his daughter for Kamala Harris? Are you accusing Douglas Emhoff of incest? And what is a photo of Prince Harry, Michelle Obama and whoever doing in your post?
