Tragedy in Gaza: Dr. Hamdi al-Najjar succumbs to his injuries after losing nine children
If killing innocent people is the measure of a terrorist attack, the bombing of refugee centres, hospitals, schools, and the like is most certainly a terrorist attack. Innocent women and children are killed every day by Israel. I would also say their genocide in Gaza is not a war. For they are not facing a real country, a real army, but an impoverished displaced people. It is not war, it is more like terrorism on a captive population. In addition now humanitarian aid was prevented for the longest time. I think Israel has truly thrown away its mask, and it is plain for all to see that land grab and genocide are Israel's aims in Gaza. -

You have very childish opinions. Time to grow up and see the world as it actually is, not a teenage fantasy. -

Will Trump bankrupt the US entirely?
I suppose you wouldn't if you've worked in banks for 32 years.. You're right to call me out on that statement regarding every American owning his share of the reward for his part of the GDP he created. Strictly speaking that's true, as America no longer operates slavery and people are paid for the work they do. However, it is of course an imperfect system, meaning that the worker does not get the true value of what he created, only that fraction which his employer is compelled to give him. It has long been known that the American dream is dead, in the sense of upward social mobility is extremely rigid in the US, to put it mildly. The story of the dishwasher who makes a billion, it does happen, but it is a minute execption. Most people will not enjoy the social mobility which the American dream promises. This is quite true. My concern is how far this gap will continue to widen. It is clearly morally unjust. But closing it presents a myriad of real problems. Nobody wants a redistribution society like in Germany or Scandinavia. But then the gaping wealth of the undeserved is also not wanted. The fine middle ground here is hard to establish. -

Will Trump bankrupt the US entirely?
Musk is right on the money here. You don't have to be a "leftie" (and I am definitely not) to see that pumping up already huge amounts of govt debt and passing it down the next generation to fund tax cuts for the super wealthy totally contradicts what they were trying to do with DOGE etc. The leftie characterisation doesn't quite work when Musk calls it out as bs 😄 Also, the fact Trump's private organisation is explicitly pushing billions into crypto while he pushes to relax legislation on it is surely a conflict of interest as well. A shyster all the way. -

US plans remittance taxation
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/world/africa/trump-bill-remittance-tax-africa.html Seems to be the reverse of the Thai remittance taxation. Yankees, of course, may have to be taxed twice: once when the money leaves the US, a second time when the money enters Thailand. Never underestimate the creativity of tax authorities!
