You're right, but "incompetence" seems harsh. Maybe I'm just sensitive today.

// because I said so.

Ah gotcha, I'll look into it as wasn't aware of this!

Haven't been in an ikea for years. What's the difference between a plant based ball, and a veggie ball?

And land mines are only banned because, checks notes, their indiscriminate nature (being walked on by children)

Fair. I just didn't realise mine was so big. Time to have an existential crisis about how big my other blind spots are!

What on earth makes you think anyone here has any details on people making "six figures"?

That is a paltry sum that the mob give zero shits about.

To some, it seems like an incredible amount of money. To others it is several orders of magnitude too low to even consider.

Don't worry about the people making 6 figures. Worry about the people making 9.

Saudi nationals don't pay tax. The oil sustains their economy.

Think about that for a second. Your entire population doesn't need to pay tax because you make so much money from oil. Imagine the lengths they would go to in order to protect that. And the atrocities their people would overlook.

Legit didn't think of it like that and I like to think of myself as an above-average-intellectual-left-wing-european.

Thank you for the spark.

That's ludicrous. "An average person" cares about more than "nothing" - such statements saying otherwise are just what the 0.1% want.

Stop fighting each other and start fighting the people who have created and persisted this dumpster fire.
