  • The first suspect is an 80-year-old truck driver from San Vito al Tagliamento, a town in the Friuli region near the Slovenian border, whose house was searched by the Carabinieri. He was questioned by the prosecutor last month, but upon leaving, he told the media that he had nothing to do with it and that he only went to Bosnia in the 1990s for work, “not to hunt.” The other two suspects, according to media reports, are a man from central Italy who is an avid hunter and a businessman from Lombardy, the region of Milan.

    The prosecution had alighted on them because in one way or another at some point they had spoken of having participated in these trips, even boasting about it at social gatherings, and they had been pointed out by people who heard them.

    Going after the blue collar worker instead of the avid hunter or businessman who boasted about hunting people. Why even waste resources on the truck driver?



  • Taxes are not theft. They are contributing to the group that shares resources like water and services like roads. These are not naturally forming, they are planned and maintained by people doing a job who need to be compensated.

    The problem with taxes is who is taxed. If only a few hundred families control a majority of the wealth, why are you paying taxes? They need to be taxed back down to the quality of life that we live.


  • These prevention programs have found that with a payment of several thousand dollars, aid organizations can head off someone’s homelessness. That both prevents the trauma that comes with losing a home, and saves the state or local government the potentially tens of thousands of dollars it takes to help someone after they become homeless.

    But prevention has its own challenges: The aid is most effective when it goes to people imminently at risk of losing their housing, and determining exactly who that is can be tricky.

    Removing capital requirement directly stops the creation of unhoused or underhoused people. Like there is no more clear way to show how capitalism requires cruelty to function as it demands those who can’t pay either die or suffer.
