Brought to its knees, huh. After 60+ years of embargo, huh. Really cool they still researched a cure for various lung cancers despite American cruelty, huh.

CIMAvax-EGF, while indeed a breakthrough conducted during an embargo, is not a cure for cancer. Rather, it is like any other cancer treatment: slows the progression of the cancerous cells. Maintenance mode, if you will.

A blatantly fascist President who's stealing billions daily, destroying the US and the global economy, especially America's, sending soldiers off to die in an illegal war to make him richer, locking up or deporting anyone with dark skin, and he rapes children. Stop the country until he's gone!

Let’s deport his ass and hid family members to Russia if he sees this as not a problem as in reality this is yet more pro Russian fraud and corruption

Thats because the embargo he set up wasn't today..matter of fact, it would have to have been within the last few hours with a lot hoopla for him to remember by now..Of course he has no problem..he don't remember there was a problem

How much longer until we stop pretending that economic power and political power arent the same thing? Rich people own the country and world. I didnt vote for them, did you? We cant have a democracy so long as our economy is controlled by an oligarchy that will always exist outside the law.

Poli-Econ makes more sense if regarded as a Power Game! Accounting could have been mandatory in schools since 1950. The traditional social structure has decided that most of us are supposed to be losers who do not know the script. Screw the peons! 🤑 chevan.info/depreciation...

There is no way around it. So long as we continue to pretend that it's fine for individuals or private interests to amass limitless private wealth/power, plutocracy is inevitable. Saying the schools should be better is missing the fact that it's the rich who decide how our schools work.

I consider the schools to be mostly hopeless if not part of the problem. The idea that schools is the only place to learn what is important is ridiculous. But when do people share relevant books? TBR from 1974: bsky.app/profile/umbr... All American reading material! 🤑😆🤑

Dbl-Entry Accounting is 700 yrs old. When do economists advocate mandatory accounting in schools? The Economic Power Game depends on most people not having a clue. Have PhDs figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles. ©1974

Please stop that nonsense. You need capitalism to generate money for social services. They live perfectly well together in Scandinavia. Capitalism is not the problem. Monopolistic unregulated capitalism is the problem.

The only way capitalism could solve the problem of the centralization and accumulation of capital into a plutocracy would be for there to be a wealth cap ratio. But that requires the complete democratization of all major industry, which is socialism.

So the closer Russia gets the sooner, they'll be able to assist Trump in overturning our government! Trump and Putin are the best of friends! Isn't anyone else seeing this in bullshit!

I have no problem with Russia bringing aid to Cuba either - but that’s not the point! WE shouldn’t be making Cubans existence unlivable. We shouldn’t be entangled in another mid eastern war at Israel’s behest either - and why isn’t trump on Putin’s ass for helping Iran target our soldiers?!?!
