OK. So by that logic, let’s say you are touring Europe and have a heart attack. The paramedics are in the area and available, but refuse to take you to the hospital. You are left to die on the street.
You think you deserve such foul treatment?
When a government is informed that people are dying within its waters, and the gov has the capability to respond but deliberately chooses not to because the victims are “african”, you think that the government bears no responsibity for their deaths?
Is it really so different though? The outcome of both situations is the same. Migrants are dying, through direct action and deliberate inaction.
Mediterranean nations have the opportunity to protect lives, but instead they choose kill / let migrants die.
Or maybe… It is the realization that we exist in such a sad state of affairs, that an absurdist performance is nearly indistinguishable from the legitimate politics of a non-negligible voting bloc.
You are defending willful negligence that leads to the deaths of migrants.
Up to 1 in 13 migrants die in the Mediterranean. Italy as well as Greece have been allowing migrants to die as a part of deterrence-based migration policy. Rescuing the passengers of capsized migrant vessels has been criminalized. There are plenty of articles that confirm these facts. Here is one example.
What do you mean “palestine”?
Do you not recognize the Palestine Authority, but instead believe the entire region has always belonged to israel via biblical predestination?
It was “palestine” before it was ever “israel”, unless you mean the mythical (biblical) “Kingdom of israel”, of which there is no evidence of its existence.
The fact is, Zionists invaded “palestine” and took the land and homes of the then-current native Palestinians for themselves.
But sure, free “palestine” from those who murder civilians and children.
right now
Only just recently?
Line goes up in relation to how successfully the corporation pursues the agenda of those with power (read: money).
Are you trying to equate the ideology of a political regime with a minority population of South Africans?
South Africa had no right to exist as an apartheid state, and Israel has no right to exist as an apartheid state.
After apartheid ended and living conditions improved, black South Africans didn’t go and slaughter every white South African as retribution, so when Israel says freed Palestinians would slaughter all Israelites, why should we believe them?
If the occupation ended today and Palestinians were allowed to live fairly and given ample resources to rebuild, what reason would they have to seek further conflict? If treated fairly, why would Palestinians act any differently than the South Africans freed from apartheid? This conflict is ultimately the direct result of unfair treatment after all.
Scientifically speaking, many diagnostic laboratories could detect the virus. However, red tape, billing issues, and minimal investment are barriers to quickly ramping up widespread availability of testing.
Yeah, we can do the tests, but we’re not going to unless old Uncle Sam starts sending us truckloads of money. It sure would be a shame if people started getting sick… Also, those new regulations “to ensure the safety and effectiveness of laboratory developed tests” are so lame. You should really do something about them if you want to have these tests done.
Labcorp, Quest Diagnostics, and other major testing companies are in the best position to manage a surge in testing demand because they can process hundreds per day, rather than dozens. But that would require adapting testing processes for their specialized equipment, a process that consumes time and money
Yeah so, we made all this tech that is entirely incompatible with the standard tests, so if you want us to start testing these people, you’ll have to use our proprietary product stack throughout the entire process, start to finish. You know what they say; vertical integration, vertical profits!
There’s only been a handful of H5N1 cases in humans the last few years,” he said, “so it’s hard for them to invest millions when we don’t know the future." The government could provide funding to underwrite its research, or commit to buying tests in bulk
We’re a business. We’re here to make money. No, we’re not prepared for a widespread outbreak. That would cost money. If you really want us to do our jobs, the government should not only pay for our existence, but also for additional bonuses and dividends to our executives and shareholders.
For real though. Corporate execs are once again holding the health of regular people hostage so they can extract ransom payments from the US government.
For-profit healthcare will always be a farce.
No, it’s:

Exactly. It’s absurd that we allow companies to get away with shit like this.
Human life is to be protected, rescued etc. in all cases.
Exceptions need to have very clear and very strict rules
Bruh.
Maine has the oldest demographic in the US, and the lowest median income in the northeast.
Maine has the oldest demographic of any state and a median income significantly lower than any other nearby state.
Did hamas limit the food, water, and electric going into Israel too? Was Hamas making settlements inside Israel? Was Hamas controlling the border and movement of Israelis? Was Hamas controlling the outcome of Israels elections?
Hamas bad, but Israel made Hamas.
IDF drops bombs on the homes of any man, killing entire families at once. “Human shields” do not exist, there is no point. The IDF has shown they will happily shoot through the civilians anyways.
Yes, war crimes are good actually. More war crimes please! /s
Do you think the IDF wasn’t murdering Palestinians before Oct 2023?
I’m sorry, but there is no situation where it is permissible to stand idle as someone suffers an untimely and preventable death.
Even soldiers at war, captured in foreign territory without visas, are entitled to lifesaving care.
