That's not exactly true. If you make parmigiano you have to follow pretty strict manufacturing procedures to ensure that the cheeses have the same taste.

It's pretty much the same thing as a brand except it's not produced by one structure but several independent structures. The main advantage is that you know what you are getting.

These companies pollute to satisfy a demand. If people stopped driving cars, TotalEnergy and Shell would sell less oil.

Where these companies are evil is when they try to influence people and politicians. For example jay walking is a crime because of them.

That said taxing the hell out of these polluting industries is a solution, as it will raise the oil price and force people to consume less.

Most surprisingly, the inspectors observed barefoot employees working in a sterile area of the facility, where they should have been wearing shoes—plus gowns, gloves, and shoe booties. (The barefoot workers were also not wearing gowns or gloves.) A production manager puzzlingly told FDA inspectors that shoeless work is "standard practice."

They were supposed to cover everything including the feet.

The majority of people killed during the Iranian protests were men.

That said it is possible that the original commenter was being sarcastic.

They are prisoners of Hamas

Hamas is controlling Gaza through a dictatorship yes. But their ideas are popular.

Even more radical political parties like Lion's den or Palestinian islamic jihad having higher approval ratings.

That said even Fatah is more popular than Hamas.

Yup that's a mistake dunno why I talked about the west bank when Fatah is the governing body there.

Thanks for the correction.

I gave the polls, you can look at the Fatah party to see how popular the Abbas led government is. Historically you are right, but right now Palestinians are not looking for peaceful solutions. I think Israel made them understand that they would be slowly annexed.

Edit: also I'd recommend reading the two state section of the Wikipedia article on Hamas.

You were asking for a picture I gave you a picture.

Here's the methodology : https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/polls-show-majority-gazans-were-against-breaking-ceasefire-hamas-and-hezbollah

I gave the other poll as it showed the impact of the war on Hamas popularity.

Hamas is popular in Palestine and other more radical parties are even more popular. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy for Hamas to exist, religion + an Apartheid state right next door is enough.

Shared that last one as it was more recent but I was citing this one from memory:

Nobody can vote in Gaza. But saying that Hamas was created and financed by Israel when their ideas are clearly popular is ridiculous.

You can say that Israel caused this mess by annexing Palestine. By putting an effective regime of Apartheid. But saying that Hamas or their actions are not popular among the general population is false.

[–] Akisamb@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Palestinian Islamic Jihad which polled at 72% against 43% for Hamas.

That said Hamas is becoming more popular now that they have caused his mayhem. They may become once again the most popular party.
