No, I’m not. Discussing the cuts themselves, or staffing issues, or warnings, or systemic infrastructure failures is valid and discussing the cause. Saying “I told you so” to victims is unhelpful and advances nothing.

I swear she just hears random things in briefings and it just lodges in her brain. I think it was the saudis who weaponized cloud seeding when the houthis were kicking up fuss(I know, I'm simplifying). They forced/intensified a drought by getting clouds to dump rain before crossing the border.

In response to a post by Ron Filipowski (sp?). He was angry and said something to the affect of "you happy kids are dead, this is what you voted for". Not in great taste, sure. The sheer loss of life, with so many of them being children emotions are running very high. Things may be taken wrong 🙇♀️

> emotions are running very high As they should be. I'd be more worried if people were just going about their business, saying nothing. Those kids deserved better. So did their parents, no matter how they voted. This is not the "more perfect union" our founders hoped we would build.

Well you're all supporting this level of death every day in Gaza and totally saying nothing and going about your business. So it's still selective outrage.

Who is supporting that? I don’t think anyone outside of MAGA is-

Biden started it, Trump is continuing it. Harris didn't say she would stop it. The whole country supports it with your everyday silence. Opposing Genocide was supposed to be a red line. Now, everyone in the USA just pretends they're not doing it when there are US mercenaries shooting starving people

Hold up... Biden wasn't president when I was born and that shits been going on for AT LEAST 55 years. Try again. Get religion out of the region and you'll have a start... Until then... Tots n pears

The last President to stand up to Israel was Reagan when they were slaughtering Shi'as in Lebanon, causing the creation of Hezbollah.

i don't know how to tell you this but there is a massive american movement against the genocide

Oh yeah. Where is that? 4 Congress people? Banned protests and nobody does anything. Or is it like the anti-Vietnam-War movement where it's just so Americans can say later that they opposed it when really 80% are voting for parties committing war crimes. It's a national shame.

i do however very much agree it is a national shame. a global shame, truly, but america is most to blame

my point is that people are taking action. some of us are not in denial. the argument of whether we are doing enough is another matter (one which i'd rather not debate here because i have already debated it three thousand times; tldr we are a very sick, exhausted, addicted & overworked nation)

We didn't even get a primary for Harris. It's somrwhat rich to equate you average citizen with their leaders who have disproportionate power.

This is a shitty truth but there is direct cause and effect here. I hate this for them, but it’s fair to suggest it was avoidable by not electing those who want to hurt “other” people. What’s it going to take for ~them~ to be better? To understand that caring for all is the only thing to vote for?

I understand how you feel. There's more there -- this area nearly always floods. Why is a camp for children there? And, in order to move toward a "more perfect union," we need to step away from judgment & focus on supporting families/ those suffering like we would our idiot son who crashed the car

If my idiot son voted for someone who took away traffic lights and got t-boned as a consequence, I would make sure he was ok, then, 100% point out the cause and effect at play. As it happens I’m a parent of a teen boy, and he has been taught many lessons about natural consequences in my care.

And no, this post is not about parenting. It’s about pragmatism and teaching when consequences need pointing out. Just as my original response was not about my feelings.

You're making my point. People can be idiots, not understand cause and effect (developmental task of a 7 year old), and they are still our fellow citizens. We can have compassion as they wrestle with their consequences.

That’s actually my precise point as well. Thing is, the people who are being shittier about it are also correct: this was a direct consequence of their votes. It bears mentioning that the same people being shittier are very angry, and with good reason. They need compassion too.

I know this anger and react out of it sometimes. I need to focus on compassion as that's the only road forward. In the end, it's just us.
