What they call an ‘applied’ social scientist. Disciple of Brandolini's Law. Also captivated by invariably BS-infused politics and media, which is a bit of a contradiction. The only ‘abundance’ is stupidity. Everything else is precious. Long-termist.

</h2>
<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>The World Health Organization has reported that over 900 patients in Gaza have died while waiting for medical evacuations which have been stalled by Israeli restrictions.</p>
<p>According to the agency, around 16,000 patients in the enclave are awaiting approval for evacuation, including some 4,000 children who are in urgent need of the life-saving transfers.</p>
<p>It warned that any further delay in handling these cases is tantamount to a death sentence.</p>
<p>It further noted that hospitals across Gaza are operating at less than half their capacity as they continue to grapple with shortages of fuel, medicine, and medical equipment amid tight Israeli restrictions on the entry of these vital supplies into the territory.</p>
<p>WHO has conducted 119 medical evacuations of patients from the Strip since May 2024, transferring 8000 patients, including 5,500 children.</p>

It looks like those Swiss gifts paid off.
Trump cut tariffs on Swiss goods — like luxury watches — from 39% to 15%.
While Trump’s tariffs increase prices for Americans, billionaire CEOs and foreign companies sucking up to Trump get relief.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.
