Stop spreading war crime propaganda.

Israel has every ability to prosecute its own citizens living inside its own borders. It is not undermined by the ICC arrest warrant. Switching offender and victim of course is a typical Israeli propaganda strategy. The ICC acts because Israel chooses not to act. And the ICC does not appease anyone, as can been seen with the vile attacks now being thrown at it by the US and other Israeli allies. Also the Mossad was harassing ICC members for close to a decade now to prevent them for prosecuting Israeli war crimes.

I think you misunderstand rich people. Why do you think they make PACs? Why do you think they make Ivy Leagues and send their kids there? Why do you think they keep up all these illusions. Do you think they are too stupid to realize that you can get an equivalent education for a fraction of that money?

Their “class” is not important when it comes to investing. If they could fire all the nepo babies and use AI instead, they would do it in 1 second.

Firing the nepo babys remains consistent with being the owning class. And they put the nepo babies so they dont have to put rising middle and lower class people there.

There is thousands of videos online of IDF soldiers documenting and cheering on their own war crimes. Looting, Pillaging, Abusing, Raping, Murdering.

It is evident that they do not fear any repercussions and only when the international pressure gets to high, a tiny few get "investigated" or even more rarely get a small "conviction".

What is left of Israels civil society and every country that easily allows travel for Israels should be alarmed. When thousands of people that learned to expect impunity for the most gruesome crimes will come back to life among them.

Looks like Netanyahu is getting what he wants. The US drags itself in another war in the Middle East. Harris will suffer for it in the elections, as she will be loosing the communities she won back after being alienated by Bidens zionist fanaticism. The US might end up doint the dirty work in Iran and Iraq, if things escalate fully. And Israel can finalize the genocide and annexation of all of Palestine, while pretending to be the victim again.

Israel may not heavily punish those who commit war crimes, but they do prosecute them, and that’s the bar that’s needed to avoid sanctions. Like it or don’t like it, but that’s the way the world works right now.

The ICC is seeking arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant because evidently Israel is not prosecuting its war criminals.

Expect? No.

Possible? With trading in puts and calls options definitely.

Still stupidly risky gambling where you loose most of the time? Absolutely

Ivy League, internships etc. prove exactly what you are critizising. They prove to have the connections. They prove to be part of the in-group. They prove that you will defend your class interests against the lower classes. And if you are one of the very few people who achieve upwards class mobility, they prove that you will be betraying them.

This is not about running the best company or running the best economy. It is about maintaining class power and privilege.

It depends on the algorithms used. Now the lazy approach is to just throw neural networks at everything and waste immense computation ressources. Of course you then get results that are difficult to interpret. There is much more efficient algorithms that are working well to solve many problems and give you interpretable decisions.

Thank you for giving some insights into ML, that is now often just branded "AI". Just one note though. There is many ML algorithms that do not employ neural networks. They don't have billions of parameters. Especially in binary choice image recognition (looks like cancer or no) stuff like support vector machines achieve great results and they have very few parameters.

They can do that with a lot of them, but not all. You can't really sell an oil platform when nobody is buying oil anymore. The "stranded assets" is a huge motivator for fossil industries to prolong the switch to renewables as long as possible. Problem is the governments being complicit. They could have made clear paths from when on no new fossil investments were allowed to create a proper phase out.

Problem with publicly traded is that there is no personal risk past the price you bought the stocks for. You paid $ 1,000 for some stocks of "evil chemical corp"? Now your financial interest, and thats the only measureable one, would want them to pollute for a damage of $ 10,000 respective to the stock value if that increases your stock price to $ 2,000, as long as the risk of them having to pay for cleaning it up is smaller than 50%. Problem is the same holds true for a damage of $ 100,000 relative to your stock. Or any arbitrarily large amount. Your share in the damage caused could be in the billions, but worst thing the company goes bankrupt and you loose your stocks buying price.

The only alternative would be holding shareholders responsible with their own money, if a company is forced to pay up for damages they caused, going past its bankruptcy.
