  • Paraphrasing a comment I read:

    ‘Think of the food supply, we have a surplus supply of food but still people go hungry. Increasing the supply further does nothing to address the underlying issue.’

    The issue in South Korea is cosmetic doctors make 2 to 3 times more than those in fields deemed necessary, which the government sets caps on. This means fields deemed necessary are understaffed. The governments current plan in to try and flood the cosmetic labor field to bring down those incomes and force people to work in the needed fields. It’s a stupid approach because they aren’t able to say what the true issue is, and as such will never actually address the problem.









  • 14.5 billion dollars was sent since October 2023 in addition to the 3.8 billion dollars the U.S. sends every year. The U.S. Senate advanced another 14.1 billion dollar package to Israel this last Sunday.

    If we are sending this much aid to a country to further it’s military goals, knowing full well the illegal tactics they are using it’s a bit of an endorsement don’t you think?

    To top it all off the Houthis have been very clear that the aggression in the Red Sea will continue until Isreal stops the war in Gaza, yet we would rather double dip and send billions to Isreal while spending billions to defend the Red Sea instead of stopping a literal genocide. Which would cost us nothing.
