Almonds are nuts, they're the seeds of the almond tree.

These are some of the most conservative people in the country living here. The overwhelming majority of them want absolutely nothing to change. When someone gets cancer, they turn to "god" for help. Any effort to make their environment cleaner or healthier would be immediately denounced as "government overreach" or "socialism."

If we low-ball that estimate at $200 per pay period per person, someone who worked there the full 5 years would get $26,000. Their north America operations were 33.6% women in 2022, but no clue how many women total that translates to. They have 161,000 employees globally. If they have 20,000 women in the US, that would translate to $520,000,000. If it's 40,000, then $1 billion. Yes, they could afford it, but they're not going to like it.

Based on what did you come to the conclusion I think this website is Russian propaganda? I'm talking about you, and what you said, that the "US invaded Ukraine first." It doesn't say that anywhere here.

Of fucking course mineral wealth is part of this conversation. Putin the as explicitly stated as much, and there's a reason he went after oil-rich portions of Ukraine first. Russia is trying to take Ukraine's mineral wealth away from its people, while ethnically cleansing the land it has taken. This is not "western propaganda," Russia has admitted to removing Ukrainian civilians involuntarily into Russia and taking their children from them to be raised by Russians.

I'm attuned to the study of Chomsky, Bernays, et al, and try to get information from a variety of worldwide sources. Being discerning about western bias in our own news media doesn't mean you should reflexively believe whatever comes out of Russia, bro.

May's actual thesis was called "A Survey of Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud."

I thought you said that he was not interested in taking Kyiv.

No, he’s interested in taking Kyiv for the purpose of regime change. O.K.?

As opposed to what?

As opposed to permanently conquering Kyiv.

It would be a Russian-friendly government that he would presumably have some say over, right?

Yes, exactly. But it’s important to understand that it is fundamentally different from conquering and holding onto Kyiv. Do you understand what I’m saying?

Lmao I don't know what you think you're proving by sharing an interview with this guy. This is literally one person's opinion, and a weak one at that lol

Yeah buddy, the US invaded Ukraine in 2014 lmao

I realize you're going to try to come back at me with a bunch of "evidence" that the US worked with and supported the Maidan, but that's all true. What's also true is that the Ukrainian people are the ones who actually did the work there.

When Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022, it was Russians invading. Physically invading with tanks, infantry, and artillery. In the Maidan in 2014, the Ukrainian people revolted against their government after it abandoned efforts to align with Europe in favor of aligning with Russia. The Ukrainian people want to align with Europe and the West.

First off, your formatting sucks. Just link the damn article.

Second, I can't help but notice the Biden Admin was made aware of this not long after he entered office, and then he publicly banned the practice. This happened in spring of 2021. Why is this suddenly news?

The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

Eh, lots of countries have different names in other languages. In English, we call it "Germany," not Deutschland. In Spanish, it's "Los Estados Unidos," not the United States. In English it's "Wales," but in Welsh it's Cymru. Just 3 of hundreds of examples

Isn't the point always to have "the highest wage in history?" If you didn't, that means you took a pay cut

Does Twitter really allow for depth?
