So, the has been happily supporting business via trade financing even as it claims it is pushing for a .

Somehow, the firms keep getting their fingers into the pot of state (and global) economic support... its almost like they had good connections & were effective lobbyists.

Anyone who thinks shifting to alternate sources will be easy might want to look back to for the fossil fuel playbook!

“It’s such a sacrifice to pay 10 percent of your income; it’s so personal,” Dehlin said. “And when you find out the church doesn’t need your money and has been evading responsibility, that impacts people directly.”

"For decades, he was a committed church member, tithing 10% of his income, as the faith expects.

But when another church member filed an IRS complaint in 2019, Huntsman’s theological and spiritual doubts shifted to anger...

David Nielsen’s complaint alleged that the church had been $100 billion in tithes and had used a few billion in tax-free dollars meant for to build an upscale mall."

Too many small-minded people in West ignore fact that Russia considers NATO in Ukraine, incl Crimea, to be an existential threat. Ignore fact Russia has been warning against NATO's eastward expansion to incl Ukraine for years. Pre-emptive strike is Pentagon's policy.

So let me get this straight...the gun-fucking second amendment apologist GOP wants to indict Hunter Biden for illegally possessing a gun...under the argument that he was on drugs and using a firearm. You know, the GOP, who scoff down cocaine like its Metamucil and love their AK-47s more than their own children.

The dude doesnt even work as an elected official. Fucking childish crybabies, all of you.

To this article, dealing in part with , I note the power of youth, which is innately drawn to and can easily understand and recognize ; yet their brains are not physically capable of understanding a 50 year experience in watching, or participating, as Rachel Carson's (1962) pollution alarm has been ground into todays derivative .

@countcol Scientists have not found cell life on other planets. So what is your point? Taking away a woman's right to choose? Forcing women to give birth when they don't want to? Forcing a deformed fetus to go full-term not only putting the woman's health and life at risk but condemning a child to a difficult if not impossible life putting further burden on the healthcare industry?

Christians preach their "rights are being taken away" while taking away others rights to choose.

Fun fact: before Ron DeSantis went to war with Disney World, he had his wedding there.

"They married on September 26, 2009, in a chapel at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa."
