#economy
Among the many false claims made by various #government media, #corporate media and social #media commentators, such as the UK being a "Liberal Democracy," we are also told how terrible the #capitalist #system in the #UK is and how we need more #Socialism to save us.
While I do agree that crony capitalism and #monopoly capitalism are indeed terrible, we don't actually live in a capitalist economic system, we live in a mixed Capitalist/Socialist #economy, where for the last two sociological generations or more, government spending has comprised more than 40% of all economic activity in the UK.

Why just why is Israel so freaking above all international laws and impune?
Any other country in the world had done even a fraction of the comes Israel have comitted just in the past 6 months (not to mention any of the crime before that) would have been treated like a pariah state, sanctioned and boycotted to total collapse.
But something is making israel untouchable. Is it the Holocaust guilt? Is it blackmail?is if money?
I have been asking those questions all my adult life, starting from the invasion of Lebanon and the Sabra and Chatila massacre that went unpunished even today.

Israel's defense against yesterday's Iranian missile and drone attack is estimated to have cost more than $1.3 billion in aircraft fuel, surface-to-air missile interceptors and air-to-air missiles.
The cost of an Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile alone is estimated at $5-20 million.
PS. I'm sure Netanyahu's sugar daddy #GenocideJoe will send Israel twice that and more.
Fascist duo working together to create a extreme right wave in south America.
Javier Milei and Elon Musk met at the #Tesla plant in Austin, Texas, to reaffirm the personal and ideological harmony they displayed in their successive contacts on the 𝕏 social network (formerly #Twitter).
⚡️ The meeting showcased the similarities between the president and the powerful businessman regarding the importance of market freedom, the progress of countries, the need to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles, the development of technology, and the necessity of preserving the rules of the game.

Israel's foreign minister says he will "ask American Congress" to examine Turkey's steps against #Israel and to 'impose sanctions accordingly'.
"Erdogan is once again sacrificing the economic interests of the people of Turkey for his support of the #Hamas murderers in #Gaza who raped, murdered and desecrated the bodies of women, girls, adults and burned children alive. Israel will not submit to violence and extortion and will not condone the unilateral violation of the trade agreements and will take parallel measures against Turkey that will harm the Turkish economy. I ordered to prepare another list of products that Israel will prevent Turkey from exporting and in addition, I ordered to contact countries and organizations in the US, stop investments in Turkey and prevent the import of products from Turkey, and to our friends in the American Congress to examine the violation of the boycott laws and impose sanctions on Turkey accordingly."
Who wants to bet that #GenocideJoe is going to take some actions against #Turkey in the coming days?
