Corbyn is yet another proof of the hopelessness of Western electoral politics. Just merely viewing Arabs as human gets you disqualified and destroys your political career, when he was a major reason for the party’s success to begin with.

Sheinbaum is better than those two, but not as much as you think. Her mayorship and her party have good relations with Israel, cooperated with the US in violence against migrants, and silenced protestors.
Pharma investors have a solid position and are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding.
No investor nowadays thinks a one-time-payment product is worthwhile. We’re already way past that.
This isn’t to mention that if you were an investor who decided you wanted to go ahainst that, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed. I mean hell, the boeing events have shown us the lengths a corporation is willing to go to protect its profits, and that’s just what we heard of.
Unfortunately capitalism does not allow innovation to flourish like many of us were taught to believe.
The bar to entry in the pharma market is extremely high. You need a lot of capital to enter it, which quickly disqualifies 95% of the population.
Now of course, people without money can still get funding from investors. But those investors are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding. Not all pharma is insulin, but it’s one of the bigger pharma industries.
This isn’t to mention that if you were one of the 5% and managed to have the resources to find and produce a cure, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed.

Not having the choice is slightly worse I’d say.
Any interesting findings or tl;dr?
Neither are regular, common people in botwasana.
While I agree that this journalist is biased and stretches facts, he provided many citations in this article that are quite informative.
It’s hard to estimate the cost, as it is internal to Iran and a government effort. But in general, air defense tends to be more expensive than whatever it is shooting down. In this case, I am certain it is orders of magnitude difference. Iran’s economy is in shambles, so they focus on cheap weaponry.
There were a couple of failures but I did not see solid evidence that its half.
Iran intentionally uses cheap weaponry. Their economy is struggling. They can’t afford to spend billions on an attack like the US and Israel do.
Iran excels in cheap weaponry, threw a bunch of them at Israel, overwhelming their systems by shear number, and costing billions to shoot them down.
Israel does not care because US pays the bill. US doesn’t care because taxpayer pays the bill. The taxpayer does not care because they think they can make the country better by voting, while the system slaves them away 40+ hours a week to serve the safety of a genocidal state.
The military has been in some war of another almost my entire lifetime. That’s not even counting when they’re doing messy proxy shit like advising opposition militias.
If recruiters for hitmen and assassins were everywhere and reached everyone easily, I still wouldn’t sympathize with those who thought its a good idea. Even if the recruits were spreading propaganda, I will judge anyone who falls for it.
Do you apply the same logic to those who join islamist terror organizations? Most of these organizations use even more propaganda tactics. They prey on troubled young people and convince them that they are embarking on a righteous mission. Their propaganda is even more powerful as it relates to religion, which is closer to one’s heart than patriotism typically.
At least in the military, you will immediately see that whatever they promised you is wrong. You’ll immediately see you’re attacking other countries that aren’t a threat to your people. Terror organizations will still see people they were convinced to be sinners, standing in their way of establishing the kingdom of God.
I don’t sympathize with either
I wish people cared more about middle Eastern people getting genocided by their own country (or their country aiding said genocide)
I highly doubt that there is no career option or field for them to go into other than mass murder. It doesn’t even pay that well! It’s just mid pay with good benefits.
Would you excuse someone becoming a hitman for the money? A mass murderer is far worse.
They do get a choice. They willingly joined an organization with a terrible track record.
I hope this is true but I’m not confident voters care about the middle east.
I agree, Israel has committed far too much horror to be ignored, but at the same time I wouldn’t consider them to be representing any “religious group”. They only represent themselves and their supporters, some of which are diverse in religious background.
