Voting for a 3rd party especially in swing states to guarantee a trump victory? Is that the goal here? Do they want more aid to Israel and get deported?

As already demonstrated US allowed Ukraine to use HIMARS on targets near Kharkiv and that that did not leave to nuclear war. Why not also let Ukraine use ATACMS?

Maybe the U.S. has finally come to understand that if Ukraine really is going to have a chance to win, it must be allowed to fight the war properly.

Doubt unfortunately: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/08/05/ukraine-had-a-chance-to-blow-up-russias-best-warplanes-on-the-tarmac-the-white-house-said-no-and-now-its-too-late/

Not sure why Ukraine can't use Western to hit military targets in Russia, how is Ukraine supposed to win a war when it cannot return fire?

The issue was fixed for me in that update they did earlier this year. Also the horse stable glitch was fixed after many many years.

This is why it's important to classify Russia as a terrorist organization, so these businesses wouldn't be able to operate there so easily

Disneyland workers say they live in cars and motels due to low pay in c/usnews

[–] along_the_road 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Union officials say about one in 10 Disneyland cast members have experienced homelessness while working at the park. A survey of employees showed 73% say they don't make enough to cover basic expenses each month and about a third said they experienced housing insecurity within the last year.

“We’re the ones who make the magic,” says L Slaughter, a host at the Toontown-themed part of the park. “We need Disney to pay us a liveable wage.”

Ms Slaughter makes $19.90 an hour - thanks to a minimum wage mandate passed by city voters in 2018. Disney unsuccessfully fought the wage hike, but workers say it’s still not enough to survive in Southern California.
