every major structural social problem right now is basically "we don't have enough skilled workers on the ground" and the reason is always "well we've been intentionally underpaying and understaffng them for decades to increase corporate profits" and somehow the news always just mentions the "shortage" without digging into the cause

air travel is a mess? shortage of air traffic controllers - for some mysterious reason

logistics a mess? shortage of truck drivers - for some mysterious reason

public transit can't meet demand? shortage of bus drivers - for some mysterious reason

We even mysteriously have shortages of doctors, nurses, teachers... FOR SOME MYSTERIOUS REASON

FUCKING PAY PEOPLE AND HIRE ENOUGH STAFF

As if there weren’t enough ways to post to Tumblr, look what Marco got working.

this used to be a real website

I will talk about a topic that no one has mentioned before, the topic of the exorbitant prices of goods in the Gaza Strip, a topic that no one has talked about before.

Unfortunately, our first major enemy in this war is the Israeli occupation, which prevents goods and aid from reaching us. But what is even more unfortunate is that our second enemy is the merchants who constantly manipulate the prices of goods. When there is talk of negotiations, all prices drop, but when there is a stumbling block in the negotiations, everything rises like crazy.

Today in the morning there were negotiations going on and the price of flour was 30 euros which is very expensive but a little while ago when the Israeli extremist Ben Gvir said that there will be no ceasefire and that aid will be prevented from reaching us the price of flour per kilo rose to 45 euros and it is still rising until now please guys don't forget us please donate to us so that we can buy this flour and other food items to stay alive we need money to buy everything everything here is very expensive please donate to us now

i was opening up the nature center and a little wasp flew by while i unlocked the door so i let him out. then i looked down, and there was a spider, a millipede, and two rollie-pollie bugs waiting at the door and they all walked out in a line like they’d been at a party together overnight.

it’s been two weeks and i can’t stop thinking about it.

IS MOON DAY!!! MOOOOON DAY!!!! THE DAY OF MOOOOON! HAPPY MOON DAY 🌝 (we landed on the moon today in 1969)

In the heart of Gaza's nightmare, hunger screams louder than bombs.

Today, under suffocating siege and relentless war, the price of a kilo of flour hits 130 shekels (~$38)—a staple that's now a luxury.

Flour, often called "white gold," has become a vanishing lifeline for Gaza's children. They sleep to the sound of airstrikes and wake to aching hunger. No rice, no lentils, no milk, not even crumbs of bread to fill their stomachs.

How can a child dream of tomorrow when today's meal is a battle? How do we tell them bedtime stories while their bellies growl in pain?

We beg the world's conscience:

* Amplify their suffering.

* Don't let their starvation be ignored.

* Remind the world: Gaza still bleeds.

Absolutely LOVE the fact that unlike most superhero movies, Superman didn’t do everything.

It was set up as “oh no Metropolis and Jarhanpur are in trouble! He needs to quickly finish one and then help the other!” But no. Instead he just called his friends and they stepped in where he couldn’t. Even at Metro, he had Mr. Terrific’s help.

This is not a one-god-army kinda Superman. This is a I-could-try-to-do-it-all-or-I-can-ask-others-to-step-in-when-needed and isn’t that the crux of humanity right now? All of us may not be able to go where the problems are happening but we can help those who are there. We can also face the problems happening in our neighbourhood with people who can’t be close but can help in whatever way they can.

Because, sure, Superman could do it all himself. But that inevitably leads to a Superman who is stretched too thin and getting increasingly weary. But having people he knows he can rely on? Well isn’t that the best power anyone can have…

In the age of shiny screens and smart towers, children in Gaza are dying minutes away from 5G networks. They didn't die from a bomb, but from starvation. And worse? Their deaths weren't sudden. They took their time, day after day, atrophy after atrophy, until they disappeared, leaving only their bodies resembling life, but not living.

Where was humanity?

Where were the governments and organizations? Where are you? You who watch and grieve for a few minutes, then pass the image along like an advertisement. You who have food, medicine, and even the internet to cry out... but you remain silent.

Why are my children in Gaza dying of starvation? Not because the world is powerless, but because it chose not to see.

What is happening is an indictment of a world that has made humanity a choice, not an innate quality. An indictment of everyone who remained silent, everyone who saw and remained silent, everyone who liked the image without moving.

We don't need images that shake us... we need hearts that don't remain silent. Please share our post, my friends, maybe you can change this bitter reality and donate to us what you can. Your donation will save us from the famine that is ravaging the bodies of my young children who are now suffering from malnutrition. Believe me, I am writing to you now with a trembling heart, eyes filled with tears, and a wish that my children will survive this deadly famine. I am completely helpless and you are the ones who can save us. Thank you all and I am very sorry for bothering you.

Your friend,

Hossam Al-Qazzaz

I neglected my campaign when I started publishing the initiative I am working on, but the need is urgent and I need some hopes to buy the necessary necessities of life at their fantastic prices. If I do not get your financing, I could not be able to buy it, so I hope you understand that I am doing humanitarian research work, which is the management of an entire initiative that benefits more than 30 students and students, which is the ihyaa initiative, and I was doing a great job in the previous period, which is to document the campaigns on the ground to get safe donations, despite all that, I did not get the attention required from you, but I ask you to pay attention to the mother.

I don't like to sympathize with you with the pictures and problems I'm going through because I like privacy, but if you want to see how much pressure and the problems I'm going through in this damn war, we can reach, and I have pictures, medical and everything about suffering here.

Please chip in to help Mohammed Ayesh survive! He has been relentless in his efforts to hell other Ghazzawiyeh survive the genocide through his Revival initiative and through his fundraiser vetting! He has sacrificed much to bring light to others' needs, so please help him out as well.

Palestinins have are severely malnourished and need all the help they can get. Please, $1 can make so much difference.
