“Competitors choosing” is usually considered to be price fixing
No? It isn’t?
Where do you think prices come from?
Amazon et al aren’t the only US companies guilty of this or other anti-competitive behaviors
How is this anti-competitive?
“Essentially” is the load-bearing weasel word here that allows this story to blame Amazon for their competitors choosing to offer the same goods at higher prices.
You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.
Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you’re literally forced to buy from them
You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.
They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.
If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.
Their father has a choice. He should act in a way that’s in his children’s best interests but if he thinks attacking Israel is more important, then the consequences will be his to live with.
I agree with you it would be better if he were simply killed, though; that’s certainly the position Israel takes on the matter.
Sometimes you bomb them so you don’t have to, or to block a means of egress. Either way it’s a legitimate military objective that justifies civilian casualties.
People could just leave the area, though. It’s not like Israel doesn’t tell them about the strike.
I’m asking you if you know of an alternate location from which Hamas plots attacks on Israel. Yes or no?
It literally is
Do you think they moved? Where do you think they moved it to?
Unfortunately choices have consequences
It’s targeting the militant based on his phone.
Wegovy might be covered if you’re just fat. You might also find a doctor willing to prescribe it on the basis of pre-diabetes, although it’ll be a long argument with your insurer.
But if you respond well to the drug it’s worth it. Trust me

Second, if it were there, it likely wasn’t intentional.
It connects to, and opens into, a hospital referred to by the New York Times in 2008 as “the de facto headquarters of Hamas.” So clearly pretty intentional.
Third, they could have bombed the tunnel without hitting the hospital
They did bomb the tunnel without hitting the hospital.
Fourth, and again you can fact check me in this, but it would be pretty strange for a large city to have no orphanages.
There are zero orphanages in any American city, for instance. Not strange at all. Orphanages are kind of an archaic and disused way to handle the case of orphaned children - modern societies use a foster system, instead. Gazans simply don’t care so they make no provision at all if the family doesn’t step up, so they don’t run orphanages either.
Why is a military tunnel under a hospital? (I don’t believe that Gaza had a single orphanage.)
Wtf is that mean.
It means you have to actually go to the tunnels and fight, like the IDF is doing.

They don’t, in fact.
