I'm a little confused why this is in the news. First off, it's just a House Resolution. It's has no legally binding repercussions. It's basically the House of Representatives as a group making a statement: "We don't like anti-Semitism". The definition of anti-Semitism they decided to point to is the thing that's really in contention. But again, this affects nobody but the US House of Representatives.

Secondly, the vote on this took place in December. So it seems kind of late to be raging over it.

If you're in the US and it really bugs you, I'd suggest looking up how your district representative voted and let them know how you feel about it.

Lol, okay. Wikipedia and Reuters are not US government owned or even US-based media sources, and the wiki article is well cited by sources all over the globe. The US state department posts are just there as a tl;dr to be honest. But sure, any source that doesn't align with your personal narrative must be biased propaganda. I note you didn't actually address the point.

If he was so unpopular, then why did Putin try to assassinate him, then imprison him on fabricated charges with no intent to ever release him? Why couldn't he just defeat him in a fair election and then ignore him?

Thanks. I thought that still seemed really high.

Just a small correction: The sales numbers are 15 million, not 150 million.

Seriously. One of my pet peeves is shoes made with no outsole. Around 10 or 12 years ago a bunch of shoe brands decided they could save money if they stopped making shoes with a hard rubber outsole. Instead they just mold the tread into the soft midsole material. They spent a bunch of money convincing people it was fashionable. Probably a lot cheaper to produce for them. But the shoes wear out insanely fast.

The story says they were in international waters, inside the Japanese economic zone. It's easy enough to find a map of that area if you need it. What are you implying that they are trying to gloss over?

Right? Unfortunately this sort of crap happens to female reporters all the time and they don't usually feel like they can stop reporting to deal with what is essentially an assault. Good job anchor person for calling it out and reassuring her that she had nothing to apologize for.

Sorry to hear that. Be assured there are places you can go where you will feel more welcome.

If they have started charging this service fee customers will be less inclined to tip on top. So if the money from the service fee is not entirely being used to increase staff wages, then the restaurant management is effectively stealing their tips. That is wage theft in spirit if not legal definition.

Yes. The manager will just repeat what they're told to say. Ask a waiter if they're actually being payed significantly more since the fee was added.

I just assume the high salary is because the AI will eventually become intelligent enough to target the killswitch operator for elimination first.
