I’m gonna link this article from Sprudge from 2019 when the price of commodity dropped to like a $1 (maybe it was less). Starbucks put together a relief fund, giving smallholder farmers in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, and El Salvador, $20 million dollars. Long story short is that this exact amount based on currently available financial data, equated to less than $61.3 million at the time, which was approximately how much the company earned in revenue in a single afternoon. The point was that without up to date financials, the public did not know what the true impact was. For what it is worth, Starbucks could have been hurting farms by doing this at a time when the price of commodity was extremely low.

So he doesn’t want them in the U.S. but he doesn’t like them elsewhere either? Dude, stop projecting your racism onto other people. Just because you are a dingbat bigot doesn’t mean anyone is or wants to be.

The thing most people don’t bother to learn about TPUSA, is that the organization is focused on indoctrination of Christian-Right ideology in schools. They want schools to have a charter to promote their fucked up beliefs. At one point (I don’t know what was made of it) the Oklahoma school superintendent claimed TPUSA charters were something their students (or maybe the parents) wanted and that he would mandate across the state all high school’s have a charter.

I would like to think I understand enough to believe it would be offensive if the UK stepped in to intervene on behalf of Ireland. Someone correct me if that is wrong.

I was just asking.

Didn’t ABBA come to fame from a Eurovision win?

I’m sure there are people who will argue that Back to the Future Part II was the worst of the trilogy. Part III might be the best.

I was too angry to listen to reason. Basically, all Palestinians as I understood were considered terrorist. If you aren’t Israeli or for Israel (explicitly), you are bad.

It was sickening to listen to someone tell me Israel is justified because… [insert random religious thing].

I’ve heard Christians justify this shit a decade ago by saying they are terrorist by association of where they born.

He failed to get Mexico to do jack shit. What makes him think this will be different?

If you didn’t believe modern Nazism has evolved to included the originally oppressed group being given free rein to commit genocide, now’s the time.

Hitler probably thinks this would be the greatest grift ever to have a religious nation state made up a group he oppressed, destroy a group as well.

If you’ve been watching all of Trek, you’ll know that the Eugenics Wars no longer have a fixed point in time. WWIII on the other hand hasn’t changed.

Whelp, it looks like Star Trek was on the nose. This is probably the year World War III begins.

EDIT: WWIII last 27 years.

This is what I read. Apparently HSI operates within ICE. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/ap-report-ice-agents-will-help-with-security-at-milan-cortina-olympics

I should have clarified that it is HSI that is there, not ICE.

The thing that is being buried by most headlines and maybe articles is that ICE is a part of Department of Homeland Security. One such part of DSH is Homeland Security Investigations. People are conflating the two. HSI has been for many years at such international events with a U.S. presence to conduct investigations regarding international crime and terrorism.

EDIT: I should have clarified that it is HSI that is in Italy, not ICE.

I was thinking it was a rip-off of Legion of Doom.

I said useful. How is doing illegal things useful?

So DHS really didn’t teach the new hires anything useful. Got it.
