Miscarriages account for around 50% of pregnancies, though some studies put them as high as 75%, since most people don’t realize they’ve miscarried if it’s early enough.
The subhumanity of forced-birthers is unimaginable. Literally. We cannot imagine what state of mind could produce this anti-abortion obsession, because no sane mind would ever do so.
Whereas all corporations are fundamentally concerned with the bottom line, you should shop at those whose actions are ostensibly less evil. Even if Target’s commitment to these issues in the past was merely performative, that performance should be rewarded.
I thought it was because they were all dying and fertilizing the soil with their corpses.
That’s hilarious.

Your critical self-reflection is the rarest characteristic of wisdom in these dark times. You actually care about the truth.
Sure, that’s one practical aspect of money that lends itself to superficial quantitative analysis. But it’s not the whole picture. Money is fundamentally about the power to get people to do things for you. That’s what it represents. With money I can force people to give me things and do things for me, almost like magic.
Now the origins of money is rooted in debt (and power). When a ruling body exercises a monopoly on violence over a region, it can offer promissory notes (IOUs) that others value, because they have faith that this ruling body can force its citizens to work by extracting taxes from them.
Check out “Debt: The Last 5000 Years,” or similar anthropological work on the origins of money.
Keeping consumers alive as a class is indirectly encouraged in capitalism.
All they want is money, which has nothing to do with consumers whatsoever. Corporations could extract money by devouring each other, or by taking over a nation state, or by hijacking a treasury department, or by issuing their own money a la crypto. Remember that money is an abstraction (or an instrument) of power. Violently subjugating a region is tantamount to possessing that power (which we call money), or the ability to make others do what you want.
Well, yes, but Americans support Zionism, and genocide is something the current president has explicitly endorsed.
Religion is a monstrous evil.
Currently, Palestinians.
The US is also hellbent on exterminating dolphins and every other living creature until we can achieve a Mad Max apocalypse.
The US with Christian Nationalists at the helm.
What a bizarre comment.
Runoff from chicken abattoirs is incredibly toxic, so it’s not an exception.
Fact checking is censorship apparently.
Not at all. Our species is beyond fucked. There’s nothing to be superior about. Maybe you’re someone with an unjustifiable faith in the ultimate goodness of our subhumanity.
Regardless, just do your best to enjoy what will probably be our last century on this planet.

It would be against the laws of physics NOT to talk down to them.
Situations like the one in Greenland are a microcosm of a larger human trend towards self-destruction. Almost every problem that humanity faces is trivially solvable. We could literally solve them tomorrow. But we won’t. Because people are stupid. Our species is just doomed, and now I have to sit here and be nice to these humans while they kill us all.
It would be so easy to tackle the offshoring of US tax funds.
The fun part is we can’t even fuck up our image on the world stage because Trump already did that.
