In the midst of the escalation of prices, the proposal arose to market donkey meat, sold for about 7,500 pesos per kilo. Butcher Gonzalo Moreira, from Buenos Aires, described the effects of the crisis on the sector. “We are facing a major recession. I don’t know a merchant who isn’t going through difficulties. The sector is under a lot of pressure, even without major price variations. Everything is paid by card, pushed forward,” he told Radio 750.
It is industrial production and sale of donkey meat pushed by flesh merchants in cities like Buenos Aires, not poor rural smallholders eating their own donkeys for survival.
Your interpretation of this is ignorant and frankly kind of racist. You think most Argentinians are destitute subsistence farmers plowing their fields with donkeys? Get a grip.
Also I 1000% promise you that vegetables are significantly cheaper to obtain than fucking donkey meat. This is just butchers trying to stay in business. Making lame, ignorant excuses for industrial animal agriculture is gross.

World News@lemmy.world•Viktor Orbán concedes defeat as Hungary's Tisza Party heads for election winEnglish
911·18 days agoStill a lot of work to do. His cronies still hold a ton of power and control much of the media.
Magyar winning will get the headlines but Tisza getting a supermajority in parliament (which they seem on track to do but I don’t think is official yet) will be the much more important win. That’s where durable reform can be made.

12·23 days agoI’m with you on Russia but I don’t think the PLA would consider nuking Taiwan. They ideologically consider everyone on the island to be Chinese and they also certainly don’t want to blow it to ashes just to have to rebuild it from scratch.
IMO the wind is blowing toward a political reunification where China takes it without a shot. The opposition party is already pushing that and the US is not a stable or reliable enough ally at this point for them credibly rely on if China actually invades.

4·23 days agoHow can they sanction us when global finance still overwhelmingly depends on the dollar though? It would certainly accelerate efforts to move to a new financial regime but it would still take years to accomplish.
Maybe mass dumping of US treasuries could be a feasible immediate option.

4·5 months agoYou haven’t done anything wrong at all. Just maintain your license though! There are SO many non-floor nursing jobs. Outpt, procedural, surgical, administrative, informatics, etc etc.
The floor is hell. Basically everybody who leaves inpt will never go back. Other jobs are so much better.
So all I’m saying is keep your options open. Don’t go back to nursing if you don’t like it, but if you let your license lapse you may regret it in the future.

1·5 months agoI would say that’s irrelevant for the crimes committed.
Irrelevant to the crimes themselves, but very relevant to the political pressure that can be applied to force action.
We all know the law doesn’t just get applied because it should be. Especially not against the rich. It gets applied, or at least has a chance to be, when enough people are paying attention and demanding justice.
Also, section 230 doesn’t apply to criminal prosecution (it may not even apply to the ongoing civil case), and there is strong evidence from the civil case that it was the executives themselves that explicitly chose not to implement safeguards that Meta employees were calling for.
We need new laws, more regulation, and fines that make Wall Street worried.
Absolutely. We need all of that plus way stronger antitrust. And we need the current law applied to bad actors, regardless of their riches.

228·5 months agoAmericans, as a general population, don’t give a shit about Myanmar, may not know it even exists. They don’t really care or know about video view controversies and the like.
One thing they do care A LOT about, is their kids. And the evidence is strong that Mark Zuckerberg and Meta executives knew children, on a mass scale, were being endangered by their products and deliberately, purposely allowed it to continue. They need to be prosecuted. If nobody even tries, then we’ve already lost.
Doing exactly the same. Graphene without play services or play store. Use f-droid, acressent, or obtanium for as much as possible and aurora as a supplement for stuff I can’t get FOSS.
Got lucky that I happened to have a pixel already before deciding to degoogle.
Don’t miss it at all. The only mild inconvenience is there’s no substitute for google pay, but that’s far from a dealbreaker.
Otherwise my experience is frankly better. Less bloat, more control, my battery life has gotten better somehow (not sure why, fewer services running in the background maybe?), and feels good to use and support FOSS projects. Definitely wouldn’t go back to stock.





It will forever crack me up that Bezos saved this show.
