Whether a person has an XX chromosome or XY has absolutely no bearing on their body form.
Only a fool would gamble that just because a person looks like a woman that wt:thon is probably is XX, or just because a person looks like a man that thon probably is XY,


there is the ongoing issue wrt Palestinians and their plight.
which is why we shouldn’t (totally) dump on Oliver, Stein, and West.


Price controls could lead to shortages, which is reportedly common in Communist countries—which I’ll concede to Trump;
however, Trump is hardly better with his flogging crap, the encouragement of stupidity, the anti-science, and the tariffs—why do Trump supporters—presumably a vast majority being consumers—support tariffs, quotas, and seem indifferent to IP (“intellectual property”) trolls and their lobbies? Why do they oppose abortion (and perhaps contraceptives) when fewer children means less need to purchase stuff?
Perhaps price controls for basics are needed, but this is not the ideal; and if you support price controls because you favour socialism, then again, Trump is kinda right here.
note: if I was American, I would not vote for Trump or pretty well any Republican.


The informed consumer is a great price control in the free market.
This is why I don’t buy whatever crap that Trump flogs or for that matter tic tacs.

Thou shalt not kill.
no more capital punishment,
and if one sins, God will punish one’s children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.


As a Ukraine-supporter, I oppose most of the sanctions against Russia too.


The leaders of countries such as the PRC, Modi’s India, Putin’s Russia, ans Iran might not like the idea of decentralization.
Indeed, they might not like the internet itself.
Where did a boomer say that?
