Commercial realestste makes up a significant amount of rich people’s investment portfolios. And if people stopped needing office space the property would devalue and those rich people would lose easy money.

So they have all collectively agreed to force their workers back to the office I order to keep the real estate values up and keep their investments positive.

This soldier won’t see real repercussions for this. At worst he will he courmarshalled and get a dishonorable discharge and nothing else.

Hong Kong itself as well as the Kowloon peninsula were actual territories that belonged to the UK after they were ceded to them after the opium wars.

It’s only the “new teritories” which were several smaller islands surrounding Hong Kong island that were part of the 99 year lease.

Even if no effort was made to secure the new territories, we could have and should have defended Hong Kong and Kowloon as part of Britiain, as the people wanted to be either independent or remain British.

Thatcher rolled over and sold their futures to appease China.

For all her reputation of being the Iron Lady Thatcher really pussied out of standing up to china on this.

Like could you imagine the difference if the UK had someone with some fucking backbone back then that didn’t sell Hong Kong to its Doom?

Israel has literally planned to eventually take over the entire region since before day 1 of it existing. Bibi is trying to get the native population out of gaza 1 way or the other so he can annex it.

Idk why but I’m getting big deja vu from this story.

Oh no, if revenue continues to slip in just a few hundred years Musk will be down to his last billion. (assuming he never makes any more money)

But also work 16 hours a day and then go drinking afterwards.

You didn’t even mention the other infestation that are far dirtier and more disgusting than the bedbugs… the French.

Lmao my dyslexic ass read this as “formedlr head of NASA” and was confused why everyone was so doomy about itm

My god, read the bloody article.

They gave ukraine a 50bn loan which is being paid off by the interest on the frozen Russian assets at approx 3bn a year.

Does “don’t destroy artwork” apply to people whi tear down statues of like Saddam or Mussolini? Or what about confederates or slave owner statues?

I invest it in the next stupid crypto fas and either lose $15 or become a millionaire.

My god I want to emigrate over there so bad.

If you don’t want people to lump you in with the tankies, you can simply not associate yourself with said tankies.

Just like I’m going to assume anyone on truth social is a right wing chritsofascist. There might be a dide on there that’s sane and alright, but I don’t care.

Not really. Being open minded doesn’t mean you give equal credence to nut jobs, conspiracy theorists, racists, etc.

I wouldn’t listen to a Nazis opinions on Jews.

I wouldn’t listen to a zionists opinion on Palestine.

And I don’t listen to a tankies opinion on Ukraine.

.ml detected, opinion rejected.

Go back to your shithole tankie.

It seems like the country is totally polarised because the most extreme people shout the loudest.

People who are undecided don’t make memes or aggressive twitter posts about how undecided they are etc.

And while the GOP establishment are fully on Trumps side there is a sizeable contingent of people who are usually republicans that are put off by trumps bullshit, but still don’t really want to vote for a “lib” like Biden either. And if he “supported hamas terorrists” that very well could be more than enough to put them off.

More like he wants average middle aged swing state voters to vote for him, since those are the only people that really matter and they are typically pro Israel.
