The only people who would take this application seriously are discord mods and federal agents.

Wow it even correlates with smaller capital crises that aren't significant enough to be recessions (1994, 2012, 2018).

I cropped the risk opinion heat maps so you don't have to.

It gets even worse because many of the anti-israel rallies were organized by Jewish groups.

I was able to match rallies led by Jewish groups with the dates and locations of dozens of the rallies listed on ADL’s map — making up around 10 percent of all the rallies listed.

Starting at 2000 overstates the initial US share, after the dotcom crash the US doesn't reach that export amount again until 2007. Additionally, the infographic manages to understate the growth in exports of both China and Chinese Taipei because the sector has grown in real terms. I wasn't able to find an unpaid version of the original data (even though the source is from the UN via McKinsey), so I couldn't do more of an analysis than that.

Imagine boiling down all conflict into choosing colors a la carte.

How can they be communists and not know that Castro and Lenin were lawyers?

The CIA even created a whole booklet about communist lawyers called "Communist Legal Subversion: The Threat of Communist Lawyers".

The ensuing cage match might top the 1998 Hell in a Cell match between Mankind and The Undertaker.

Let's go over the poll and how bias the questions are.

ISR4: Do you think it's true that Hamas terrorists killed 1200 Israeli civilians by shooting them, raping and beheading people including whole families, kids and babies or is that a false story?

This of course ignores the large number of military personnel killed by calling them civilians while also repeating the blood libel claim about babies.

ISR5: Do you think Hamas fighters are more appropriately called militants or terrorists?

Both of these words have a negative connotation in English normally you would use a neutral or positive word to gauge sentiment also the question above already calls them terrorists.

ISR7: Do you think Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. government or is that not the case?

This is literally just a knowledge question but in the slides is presented as opinion. Bringing up the official designation just seems like an intentional attempt to bias any subsequent answers.

ISR15: Do you think the recent attack on Israel shows there is widespread antisemitism and hatred of Jews among Palestinians or does the attack reflect the actions of only terrorists and fundamentalists and not the will of Palestinian people?

These are the only two possibilities it couldn't have anything to do with fighting occupiers.

I just view it the same way as any type of injurious manual labor. They are workers who are in part selling their bodily well-being for money, so the goals should be harm reduction, alternative employment, and demand reduction. I'm not sure if it is possible to eliminate completely at this stage of development, but carceral policies should not be used. Also, there are plenty of trafficked sex workers who aren't doing it consensually.
