This is an important point. Simply giving a ton of rice to an area will put the rice farmers in that area out of business.
They’ll need to grow something else to make a living, but then when the next year comes around, no one is making rice anymore and they’ll be dependent on that external flow of rice.

note:
You can also hide it in something like this.
1·3 months agoIt might be better if you can link to the timestamp around where this takes place.Especially considering that you just linked to a 7+ hour video.Edit: just realized that you do have the start time in there. Looks like GrayJay only handles &t=____s instead of &start=____s
No problem! Thanks for the edit.
The only video I could find of events leading up to the shooting was this one (if you want to add on to the comment): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4qBLgk9hWw
Link to the actual video showing a bit of what was happening before the shooting:
It looks like that video is from a different incident.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Martinez was driving a silver Nissan Rogue (not a truck and not a Chevy).

In the video you linked, it looks like a Chevy is ramming the ICE truck.
Note: If you watch the video to the end you can see that the police lights are coming from the truck itself.
Anyone else see a video here? I just see a screenshot.
If you’re in California, flying the California flag is probably the best option here.
“Original”… except at least the video in this article doesn’t have vertical video syndrome where the sides are cropped out. The quality is definitely lacking though.
Damn, that is a sweet Earth.

Veritasium did a video on it: https://odysee.com/@veritasium:f/what-everyone-gets-wrong-about-planes:e
While Trump is definitely exaggerating what’s happening there, I think you’re downplaying it a bit too much.
This video is: a) more than a decade old,
There were multiple videos, but the concerning part here is it looks like even in recent rallies Julius Malema has continued with this chant: https://web.archive.org/web/20250502020122/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/world/africa/south-africa-kill-boer-song.html
It is ridiculous that there were no dates/locations for anything in these clips given what Trump is trying to claim here.
b) from a rally of a minority opposition party i.e. not the political party of the people Trump was meeting,
Yes, but it’s worth pointing out that the EFF is still one of the more popular parties. The 3rd or 4th largest party from what I can tell based on this list (and from what other articles have mentioned). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_South_Africa
It is good to hear that someone like him is increasingly being sidelined.
Thanks for pointing out the court case. After a little digging it looks like the court has ruled on this more than once. Back in 2011 they found him guilty of hate speech for the chant: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-safrica-malema/south-africa-court-finds-malema-guilty-of-hate-speech-idUSTRE78B2DD20110912/
And in 2022 the courts ruled that the chant should not be taken literally.
That chant when coupled with statements to his supporters such as “never be afraid to kill” is still alarming.
It reeks of “it was just a joke, bro” energy and what fascists try to do when they are testing the waters.
Please explain.
Edit: I see your edit… But I must still be misreading the conversation.
Even after double checking the username, you were the one that said, “Such as?”
Yes and you were the one asking the questions about things that are explained in the article so I responded with some context.
This question really shouldn’t be that hard to answer. Here’s the video that was shown at the Whitehouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDl3mblm-c
Video of the full meeting (I set the link to skip ahead to the part where the TV is brought in) if you want to see President Cyril Ramaphosa’s reaction to it: https://odysee.com/@NTD:2/live-trump-holds-bilateral-meeting-2:5?t=1313
Besides the video of the crosses along the road, there are video clips of the Economic Freedom Fighter’s leader, Julius Malema calling for a bloody revolution as well as chanting with large crowds to “kill the Boer” (white man/farmer).
There are no timestamps/locations for any of the video clips, but it looks like this guy founded the Economic Freedom Fighters back in 2013.
Edit: typo
I know that this is an ongoing thing between these 2 countries, but it always makes me nervous when I remember that they both have a nuclear arsenal.
The title is missing a key point here:
US Supreme Court let’s Trump’s transgender military ban take effect | while appeals continue.
This isn’t a final decision if you took it that way.
This wasn’t touched on in the video, but another bad side to making sub minimum wage is when the restaurant has the servers do “side work” at the end of the night before they can go home.
Basically it’s “Free labor” for the restaurant, because you’re still going to get a 0$-$2 paycheck at the end of the pay period.
This work is done after all your tables have gone, and typically involves things like pulling up the seat cushions and cleaning underneath, rolling/folding up napkins, filling up salt/pepper shakers, collecting all of the condiments off the tables, etc.
One restaurant in particular even had us doing some kitchen prep work (in addition to the side work listed above) like dumping whatever was left in the ketchup bottles into a larger container for sauces, stripping herbs off their stems, etc.
Usually this took about 20-30 min, but you couldn’t go until it was done and someone had to sign off on it, or else they would pick up the slack if someone else didn’t do everything.
Except that Hunter Biden wasn’t convicted/pardoned for anything related to this.
Jurors found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days.
TL/DW:
Pokimane started a snack company. There are rumors that the company is going bankrupt. The website is suddenly inaccessible (this is what the “deleted everything” statement is referring to).
