Imagine if everyone paid enough then everyone could afford to buy shit so the businesses would actually make more. 🤯

It genuinely blows my goddamn mind that this article is actually considered news and has to even be published.

Like, what the fuck do they teach people in business school these days?? Just cut costs endlessly? Like "I have this restaurant with no employees that serves nothing and charges $1B per customer. I will be rich!" ??

Its main goal was to make the middle east look like a terrible place for women

And they thought they needed to lie to convince people of this?

Like honor killings don't already happen and women aren't already second class citizens, at best, in more than a few countries?

No it's not verified at this time according to this:

https://theintercept.com/2023/10/11/israel-hamas-disinformation/

The Israel Defense Forces could not confirm a horrific claim that Hamas beheaded babies during a weekend assault, a spokesperson for the military told The Intercept on Tuesday. The claim went viral, becoming a headline-grabbing aspect of a massacre that left more than 1,000 Israelis dead.

And Biden was just echoing "news" reports

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna119865

Two senior administration officials said Biden was referring to reports from Israel about beheaded children and cited several media reports of beheadings.

NBC News has not confirmed those reports.

Well if the studies are correct that will happen sooner than if you own.

Always a silver lining /s

Yeah no. That's antisemitic bullshit you see literal Nazis spout off about.

This recent "story" was only posted in a shitty tabloid, picked up by a couple other shitty tabloids, and gullible people spread it all over social media.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

Well I'm convinced! /s

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Well.... I guess I've never heard it spoken before lol

By how many different metrics is the u.s. in decline now?

Yes.

I don't know if there is any hope of avoiding the whole fascism thing on our way to collapse but I sure hope so. Ugh this country is so fucked up.
