Mozilla CEO is paid 7million a year. I don't have the number for the rest of the board, but it should be in the same range. I think that when people say this was a cruel choice, they talk about firing people instead of decreasing executive salaries.

I appreciate that you took the time to provide a document from Oxfam, but saying that my argument is invalid because the situation in one of the fourth articles I provided has slightly improved since the article parution, is to my opinion not very honest

I just cited the biggest humanitarians organisations saying that Gaza is the worst situation they've had to work on. Could you provide the same citations for another conflict? They're not just "plenty of people", they're the most competent person on the subject

I think this might be one of the effects of dual party system, there is a binary vision to most debates that is more nuanced in multi party countries. I might be wrong though, interested in hearing other's ideas about it

I'm fully aware of what's happening in Sudan, but since multiple humanitarian organisations have explained that what's happening in Gaza is the worst they have ever seen, I think it's safe to say that this is worse than any situation

Where have you seen that I'm advocating for Trump? I'm not even American! Every time I see someone criticizing the role of the US government in the Palestinian massacre, somebody come and says "yes but Trump". I know trump is worse, can I still criticize the current US government or do I have to wait for the campaign to be over?

You asked for something politely, someone gave it to you politely, and you politely conceded the argument.

What is this place?

I get that taste has a lot to do with it, but usually when I read one of the SF "classic", even though I don't like it I can see what other people like in it. Ubik is really one of the first where I didn't understand this. I just read an article saying that what I consider a lack of connections between the different part of the story is in fact a writing effect, to make readers have a "dreamy feeling" while reading the book. I hadn't considered it that way, and was looking to analysis like this, I'm not trying to tell people my taste is better, just wanted to have their input on the book

Exactly, this is known as the Jevons paradox
