Doing what? Fighting a war they didn’t start?

No ethnographic studies have shown that any present or past society has used barter without any other medium of exchange or measurement, and anthropologists have found no evidence that money emerged from barter.

What would be an example of the barter economy you’re certain exists? How do they overcome the need for double coincidence?

There is a large difference between war and genocide.

But that’s what I’m asking you. Can one side achieve overwhelming victory, in your view, without you calling it a “genocide”?

No, right?

I know you know you’re a loser

Does war exist, in your view? Or is it always a case of the winner murdering the loser, unjustifiably?

This is literally the first post where you’ve understood what question I even fucking asked, I think you’re obligated to give one attempt at an answer before you take your third place victory lap

I continue to recommend that you read the paper past the abstract, hope that helps

Relevance?

Why would anyone care about “tremors”?

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley

No you asked why hadn’t they raised prices before.

Sorry, you’ve misunderstood the question. Obviously there have been price increases in the past.

If a company, on this present date, raises the price of a widget they sell to $X.XX, I’m asking you why it wasn’t already at that price. Why had they waited?

If the paper says something the abstract doesn’t then it’s a bad paper or a bad abstract.

The whole point of an abstract is that it’s not the entire paper, stupid

I’ve gone to every link you’ve provided to me and none of them were a UN study.

Because you won’t read past the abstract. I can only give you the sources; I can’t make you read them.

Also a funny story, one link I provided you had multiple IPC reports.

You didn’t provide a link.

t. Or you wouldn’t have said something so demonstrably false about Gazan aid being turned around.

It’s not a news story about aid being turned around in Gaza. It’s a news story about aid being turned around at the Gazan border because it contains impermissible dual-use items that are forbidden in aid shipments to Gaza.

Finally, accusing UNRWA of incompetence while blocking and attacking their aid convoys has been an Israeli propaganda line for most of the past ~10 months.

You’re correct that it’s propaganda but you’ve misattributed it. It’s Hamas propaganda.

Oh you see, you could have asked that way up there.

I did.

Economics actually talks quite a lot about monopoly power and rent seeking.

Do you? This is the first you’ve mentioned either. What’s the “monopoly” in the situation we’re discussing?
