Jo Miran@lemmy.mlto News@lemmy.world•Pope Leo On Gaza: "It Is Time To Stop This Slaughter"331·4 days agoPope Leo had telephoned Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, telling him, “It is time to stop this slaughter.”
This was second hand from an internal call, not an official statement. Even in an internal call he used the more graphic word “slaughter” rather than “violence” or “killing”.
Cardinal Pizzaballa and Greek Orthodox Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem were leading a delegation into Gaza to bring hundreds of tons of humanitarian aid into the enclave.
This is action, which you have to admit is far beyond the bare minimum of flapping lips. Many politicians use the word “genocide” and do nothing beyond that. I disagree with organized religion as a whole but I am not going to bad mouth a group that was housing 600+ people in their church, including elderly, disabled, and children. The church was hit by the IDF and they killed the priest, and after all that the Pope calls his Cardinal in Jerusalem, not to tell him to stop his aid deliveries out of a concern for safety but to convey that they need to work harder to “stop the slaughter”. Again, that’s more than the “bare minimum”.

Once those options became “cost prohibitive” (read, not cheap enough to satisfy shareholders), only then did the rush to develop AI truly begin.

If you want to blame the disappearance of American manufacturing and the weakening of organized labor on Boomers, I’m all for that. They availability of higher education for the masses to the point where a college degree became a barrier to entry is something that came about thanks to the prosperity boom after WWII. Remember yuppies? Those fuckers were boomers enjoying the advantages their parents and socialist reforms laid at their feet.
So no. Boomers didn’t make college a barrier to entry, but they did milk their good fortune and left very little for those that came after them.

They benefited, exploited, abused, and left nothing for those to come after, but they didn’t set it up themselves.
