#why

1 post1 participant1 post today

So, the #ants this evening have a question. I'm not sure what the question is, but they are keen to make sure I know they have one. Maybe their question is just "#Why?" And in the times we live in, I suppose it is a question shared by us all.

#Sudan #Why?

Can you cope with another world crisis ?
Some history: there was a popular rebellion against the dictator Bashir, followed by a civilian government. Which was toppeled by an army coup. That was another beginning of a very bloody civil war. Very fast it became a proxy war.
A proxy for/by other dictators, arab and chinese. Arms dealers found a rich trading ground.
It became a testing ground for the Military Industrial Complex.

Watch the reporting and the following discussion by Al Jazeera:

"May 20, 2025 #sudan #displacement #war
The United Nations has called this the most devastating humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.
Killings, rapes and famine are affecting millions of people. What will happen to the people of Sudan if things don't change? And why is this crisis being mostly ignored by the international community?
Presenter: Stefanie Dekker
Guests:
Elbashir Idris - Political affairs analyst
Bayadir Mohamed-Osman - Activist and poet
Omer Elnaiem - Head of UNHCR Africa content hub"

Ok, so there are two things I've noticed on TV that bothers me, and that I've seen a few times lately:

1. Why do people on TV never lock their car, but almost always unlock it?

2. Why do people order food in a restaurant or diner before or during a conversation, and then leave before receiving the order, or after just one bite? Who does that?! And who's paying?

#Why #US #Men Think #College Isn’t Worth It Anymore
Rising #tuition, the spread of more traditional ideas of #masculinity on #socialmedia and a desire for an immediate #income are working together to set boys on a different path.
Nationwide, #males now constitute virtually the entirety of the 1.2 million #student drop in college attendance between 2011 and 2022.

#boeing just got absolutely ruined by the ASTRONOMICAL threat of a 254% tariff #trump is imposing.

China cancelled every single order of over 8000 planes. Those are worth 60 MILLION+ a piece new.

Boeing's stock has plummeted, Airbus stocks have sharply risen, so we essentially gave a bunch of money to Europe, while putting 150,000 Boeing jobs on the line, and over a million in related industries.

So much for bringing in manufacturing jobs.

Why don't Europeans buy American products ?
Not only do they [US] let profit poison our food with carcinogenic poisons. [p.e. Cereals]
Not only are their products a pinacle of bad taste. [p.e. Trucks Amazon]
But also they let profit allow for bad quality. [p.e. Cars and Trucks]
But also they are wastefull instead of durable. [p.e. Peleton]
And now their products will also become more expensive.
You know, to my opinion, you choke on it. [Dutch: Stikt'er maar in]

Airbus just ROCKED the aviation world. This week, they won a massive deal from Air France KLM, who ordered 90 A350s. In the process, Airbus defeated the Boeing 787-10, who was also competing for the deal."

You know, I am glad for modern #medicine however...

Going to the ER still sucks. Coughing, crying, and screaming people everywhere.

I usually start crying myself at some point as high #empathy does that sometimes.

I have pneumonia! Again!

It came back and I am waiting for an x-ray results to prove it after I started coughing up blood today.

Don't be born prematurely with under developed lungs, and family history of asthma anyway.

Kinda messes life up sometimes.
