Doughnut? What's a doughnut?
Oh look! It's raining again.

My Gen Z friend, you can just say the quote:
"Please clap"
You were right in the first half, but completely wrong in the second. Yeah, it's possible to get rid of the embargo. As soon as the older Cubans pass away, it will be much easier electorally. People in the future will ask "why wasn't it done earlier"; it's because of single issue voters.
Cuba represents an alternative viable economic system
"Viable"? No. No one is afraid of the Cuban economy. Even the citizens of Venezuela have rejected Maduro, and they have a good view of the Cuban style economy.
Gaza and Libya don't have economic systems anywhere close to Cuba. They are not even aligned politically. "They might not like the US at some point in their history" is not a political alignment.
That doesn't matter if minimum wage goes up. Like you said, a person can only eat so much. Rising prices are not a problem if wages (especially minimum wage) increase faster than inflation.
rich white Wholefoods shoppers won’t complain about the price of strawberries.
Do you think middle class and working class people don't shop at Whole Foods?
Do you think non-white people don't shop there either?
Do you think they don't already complain about fruit costs?
Do you think they have nowhere else to shop? Farmer's markets?
Most of what you said is 100% correct, but Whole Foods doesn't grow any strawberries. They are bad for other reasons, but supposedly a nice place to work. Figure out who you're mad at and compose yourself. (Hint: minimum wage increase)
No? San Francisco has had electric busses for decades. They go up and down hills all the time. Their only problem is they have no batteries, so once they are disconnected they stop. It happens every day.
I think something combination of a small battery and a direct connection will work great. The battery only needs to work for an hour and the bus will be able to get around just fine.
If you want a society where premeditated extralegal violence is "good", you can always go to Pakistan. That's exactly what people who perform "honor killings" believe.
The developed world got rid of that when duels went out of fashion. The problem with killing someone to solve a problem is that it creates more problems. The person who died has friends, family, children, etc. who will not think your actions are justified. They will come for you and your family.
She can deserve both compensation for suffering and punishment for taking her own action. This is premeditated and she didn't need to be there, but his actions clearly contributed negatively to her mental state.
Like I said, I'm not an expert but I think big drones that can take down a bridge aren't piloted by two dudes in a bush.
So far, this has basically equal upvotes and downvotes. Let's keep it perfectly balanced.
