gutitout··on How CNN's Jeff Zucker and His Cronies Manipulated the News
At this point it is beyond clickbait / views / funding. It’s clearly pushing the agenda of a small group of people.
gutitout··on The Coca-Cola Company Suspends Its Business in Russia
Those are the average joes. They’re just in another country.
gutitout··on The History of Sanctions
Russia did not invade Ukraine because of sanctions. I don’t know why you think that.

Drug induced psychosis.
gutitout··on Briar has been removed from Google Play
Janked by google and apple. Influenced by China.

Odessa is a steal right now I hear.

gutitout··on The Poison in Our Daily Bread: Glyphosate Contamination in Essential Foods
“The world’s most used weedkiller, glyphosate, was discovered in a wide range of essential food products including bread, pulses and grains from top grocery stores such as Hy-Vee, Whole Foods Market, Amazon, Walmart and Target.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup”

I see no reason do distrust this women unless you have invested interest in roundup. This is a major issue and I’m so glad that we’re at least mentioning it, if not fighting for our collective best interest to be healthy.

gutitout··on Who’s Afraid of Bill Gates?
Great read. Reminds me of “if you want to know who rules over you, figure out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
gutitout··on Why China Is Struggling to Deal with Russia’s War in Ukraine
China is in huge support of this invasion. Making their inevitable Taiwan invasion more palatable.
gutitout··on EU to Ban RT and Sputnik
Sadly, you’re wrong. It’s about censorship. If they wanted economic embargo they would pull the plug or Nord Stream.
gutitout··on NATO secretary-general warns cyberattacks could trigger Article 5
Imagine spending your whole life preparing for war and then having to sit on the sidelines. This guy must be watering at the mouth for a chance to get in on the action.
gutitout··on Guardian: real sanctions against Russia impossible, thats economic suicide
I don’t see how sanctions will pay for energy independence in EU. The timing of closing the nuclear plants in Germany played right into Putin’s hand. Money is not the issue. We need time for “alternative” energy to come down in cost.
gutitout··on Computer chip industry begins halting deliveries to Russia due to US sanctions
“Computer chip industry”?

I don’t see China doing any of the sort.

gutitout··on US Sanctions Vladimir Putin
Ban SWIFT get CISP. I wonder how printing USD will look then.
gutitout··on US Sanctions Vladimir Putin
Amazing point. What was his role in shutting down nuclear? (If any)
gutitout··on Why the Ukraine Crisis is the West's Fault (2014) [pdf]
It wouldn’t surprise me if it was a coup. Don’t forget Biden and his sons “business” there. It’s at the very least a valid theory.
gutitout··on Russia to restrict Facebook access for 'censoring' its media
I want to preface this by saying that I 100% disagree with the war in Ukraine and the Russian infiltration and my heart goes out to the Ukrainian people. Also, please feel free to correct me or argue these points! A few ways: 1. NATO is largely an anti-Russian coalition. With many of its boarder neighboring countries being part of it. You can google the map and you will see the strategic position of those countries. In the West, only Belarus and Ukraine have not been added to this list of Russian neighboring countries. The USA & EU has been running military drills at those locations for many decades in an act of intimidation. 2. Sanctions are effecting mostly the everyday people of Russia. This is gathering more support internally for Putin’s aggression. 3. The Ukraine has a major movement toward the west in the last decade. Making Ukraine NATO would be another enemy at the boarder and this would be unfavorable for the Russian’s. Again provoking conflict in the region. 4. There has been no attempt by the USA to work with Putin or the Russian officials. Even using Russia as a scapegoat for the Wikileaks dump in 2016. And of course so, so much more anti Russian sentiment in our media ahead of this. 5. Biden and his sons involvement in the Ukraine (as reported on in 2020 by some of the US media) shows the constant strain that the Ukrainians are under. A pawn between the USA and Russia. Open to thoughts and opinions by everyone!
gutitout··on Russia to restrict Facebook access for 'censoring' its media
This incredible high brow view is a stain on what is happening in Russia. I’m in America and I am not at all surprised that our private company’s are in the pocket of our government interests, once again. This would feel like ANOTHER provocation, if you are a Russian official. I wonder if we will see Americans realize that (at least in part) this Russian aggression is a retaliation to how the USA / EU policies have put the Ukrainian people in incredible danger for their own political motives.

To be clear, against all war and what is happening in Russia is also equally unacceptable.

gutitout··on SARS-CoV-2 contains part of a patented genetic sequence
Thanks for doing that!!!
gutitout··on Los Angeles is spending up to $837k to house a single homeless person
Saddens me that the top earners in our world have to dream of affordable housing so they can save a bit of money. Probably not enough to buy a house in that same area. Sigh.
gutitout··on Chernobyl power plant captured by Russian forces
Can’t wait to see how “obligated” the USA will feel about Taiwan. I don’t believe NATO is the reason they’re not stopping Putin.
gutitout··on Chernobyl power plant captured by Russian forces
A lot of people there do speak Russian there. And yes it’s still radioactive, albeit less than a few decades ago. If you’re sending your son to fight, radiation probably the last thing to kill him.
gutitout··on Twitter based map of Russian troop movements
Why can’t they spin up a blog? Also, as an American, I don’t think those FAANG places are a safe space for “expressing opinions freely”. The boys (bots) will come.
gutitout··on East Coast vs. West Coast Butter – What Is the Difference? (2019)
Shapes don’t make as much of a difference in taste as good as cows that are healthy, producing great milk for dairy products.
gutitout··on Why I will never buy another Samsung device
Apple understands something many retailers have lost. The way you deal with the customer when they’re not happy turns you into a lifetime customer. And if it doesn’t it’s a small price to pay.

Costco, Nordstrom, Marine Layer, etc.

To me this is a winning strategy. Even if it’s 1 in 5 or less.

gutitout··on U.S. corn-based ethanol worse for the climate than gasoline
That is the American issue in a nutshell.
gutitout··on Our nation cannot censor its way back to cultural health
Your thoughtfulness and moderation is one of the reasons this is a safe intellectual space. Thank you for your generosity.
gutitout··on 468 Capital raises $400M to back European startups
That was also bought and I’d argue Amazon is the winner and that includes Zappos.
gutitout··on The Great Resignation? More Like the Great Renegotiation
What nobody is addressing is that it got a lot more expensive to live. People are trying to keep up with inflation.
