I'm from space!

  • Yeah, they were worried about flour being contaminated, and they implied that US or Israeli actors may have also crushed up oxy into the flour. But they didn’t actually test the flour to see if someone actually did that. They just threw out a hypothetical on social media, and people piled on without evidence to back that up.

    And they kind of ignored the fact that Israel has created desperate conditions that smugglers are capitalizing on, and there is a lot of reporting about the smuggling and medical shortages.

  • My point is that Gaza is a conflict zone with people who are suffering and hospitals that can’t get the right drugs through Israel’s blockade.

    I’m not trying to imply that Israel’s isn’t being a genocidal actor.

  • It was in pill form. My money is on people smuggling meds for the sick and dying because they can’t get rationed meds from hospitals.

    This wouldn’t be the first time desperate people resorted to smuggling meds during a brutal war.

    If someone wanted to poison people, there are much cheaper and more effective ways to do that.

  • It’s a brutal war and medical supplies are being rationed, if they exist at all. When hospitals don’t have meds, or can’t give rationed meds to lower priority people who are suffering, those desperate people resort to smuggling.

    I’m sure there are also addicts who can trade influence or high value items for oxy, but my money on this being for the sick and dying.

    This always happens in war.

  • Exactly. People got super pissed when they realized they couldn’t order the S2. That made a lot of headlines.

    You can currently buy the Nintendo switch 2 with relative ease in the US, but Japan could make that much harder.

  • In the US, Nintendo sold 1 switch for every 2.25 people. Japan could frustrate a lot of American parents during Christmas if they wanted to.

    As I recall, consoles still eat up more of the US gaming market than PCs. And mobile gaming is still the fattest slice of the pie.

  • Japan should just hold back Nintendo and Sony videos games, systems, and games licensed for those systems. Americans would lose their shit.
