Notably: It took the United States until 2021 to recognize the Ottoman Turks’ genocide of Armenians, or 106 years. Why so long, when  the House of Representatives had no problem doing so for years before that? Because the U.S. has historically treated Turkey with kid gloves. Even Obama did it. Biden had enough. Or so it seemed. “Beginning on April 24, 1915, with the arrest of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople by Ottoman authorities, one and a half million Armenians were deported, massacred, or marched to their deaths in a campaign of extermination,” the presidential declaration on Armenian Remembrance Day read in 2021. But even then he had to qualify the statement: “We honor their story. We see that pain. We affirm the history. We do this not to cast blame but to ensure that what happened is never repeated.” Why not cast blame? How the hell does one not cast blame for a genocide? Would he say the same about the Holocaust, or the genocide in Rwanda, or Pol-Pot’s obliteration of 2 million Cambodians? And so, kid gloves still.

So you want to "analyze" putting a state prison next to Disney? When families stop visiting & Disney's $75.2B economic impact & $5.8B tax revenues drop; its 75K employees face layoffs & 463K jobs are also imperiled what would your analytics say caused that to happen?
WTF, Dumbo https://t.co/T1zBMTH0Zq
