So what is your alternative? Don't choose the lesser evil and accept the greater evil? What rising up are you doing?

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

For me it was how he would start his videos with asking people what he thought about something them basically going, I'm so much smarter than you here a video of why you are wrong you. Never included people getting it right because it wouldn't fit his self centered narrative. I heard he's stopped doing that but I won't watch to find out.

Hamas pretty much wouldn't exist if Israel wasn't funding them: https://www.businessinsider.com/israel-security-forces-escorted-suitcases-cash-hamas-qatar-report-2023-12?r=US&IR=T

And hamas certainly wouldn't exist if the Palestinian people weren't being murdered for their land for decades.

They also use private cars for hire service which in may places means that the insurance is invalid (i.e. they are facilitating uninsured drivers)

There isn't an official pre build app. The one you get might be fine, but you can't be sure...

Do people think pilots are rich and powerful? I know a couple of pilots. They make about €90k a year and they are basically well qualified bus drivers.

I'm Irish and worked as a barman for over 10 years. I don't know what happened to cause an issue with you but neither myself or any other bartender I worked with ever gave a shit about someone ordering a carbomb. We just made them and judged you for ordering a terrible drink

Another way this could be phrased is - Following serious allegations of rape and sexual assaults advertiser's do not wish to be associated with Russell Brand so YouTube stops showing their adverts on his channel

Even if it was just Islam that still wouldn't make Islam a race
