This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 81%. (I'm a bot)
Iran blames a foreign security service for training and arming a Kurdish group in Iraq to carry out a drone attack on a weapons depot near the central city of Isfahan, state-run Nour News reported on Wednesday.
Iran downplayed Saturday's attack and said that some drones were shot down while others caused only "Minor damage" to the workshop roof.
Iran accused the Kurdish group of receiving parts, microchips and explosive materials that were smuggled into the country from one of the "Inaccessible routes" in the north-west of Iran.

Guys, i googled this expecting it to be less in US Dollars, NOPE that's $4,368.80 MINIMUM per month
That's $52 425.60 annually...............I feel i'm being robbed earning less in my professional job.

Moving to Switzerland is notoriously difficult. Next to impossible without serious money and desirable skills.
Also that money reflects the cost of living. Visiting for a week there you will spend a month worth of adventuring somewhere else with ease. | [

Anecdotally as an Ohioan, we have been planning a move to Michigan for about a year now, even prior to the 2022 elections.

East side is pretty good. West side isn't bad as long you find the right spots. GR and Kalamazoo are pretty good.

She’s not wrong. We moved here to Indiana 20 years ago, and it’s a lot more racist than most people think. It’s not the big flag waving stuff, though that happens too, but the small insidious stuff- the small talk tinged slightly, the visual cues, mild (yet not mild) break room banter. Would love to move to Michigan, but it’s not in the cards right now. In all honesty, moving just about anywhere else (except the Deep South) would be better. | [

"Bigotry is bad for business,” Whitmer exclaimed while discussing the need for Michigan to expand reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination laws in the state.
Whitmer explained that not only is protecting these civil rights the right thing to do, but it’s also good for the economy because states lose talent when their laws are too extreme.
It's also bad for business to concentrate government on restricting people's rights. | [

When I was young(60s)we visited Michigan all the time as my grandparents lived there. We were a short ride away in Indiana. At the time Michigan was hillbilly central. The state now has wonderful parks and realized their miles of lake front was a gold mine. It has improved leaps and bounds. Now when I visit Michigan I return to hillbilly central, Indiana. | [

I grew up in Ohio and went to OSU. Most of my friends moved to the East/West coasts after college. Any friends who stayed in Ohio are now considering moving away - a lot looking into Michigan due to proximity. I moved back to Ohio last year after 8 years in NYC. Definitely looking into new jobs in Michigan now. Ohio doesn’t feel safe as a queer person. And I live in Columbus. | [

If I was a real news site and not some clickbait asshole looking for pageviews, the title would be closer to this:
Governor Whitmer (D-Michigan) discusses the dangers and hypocrisy of anti abortion measures.
She doesnt “savage” anyone, no one is “fuming” (except readers who think twitter is the real world), and the “bigotry” is certainly a problematic word-mainly because who or what is being bigoted?
Just look up the definition! It’s being used as a buzzword here. It doesn’t even fit.
“obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group”
Are we now saying that there is no “reasonable” opposition for abortion?
-note, membership to a particular group does not include women, because that is not a particular group. | [

I live in a small town in the Thumb. I can confirm the red nature of the interior rural areas. We fly a PFLAG banner and get a few weird looks, but if the big downside to being a decent human is not being invited to their church socials, I call that a win-win.
Don’t be afraid of the dangerous Red crowd fears. If we want to ever seize control for good, we need to go into the red towns and counties where we can change them from the inside.
But seriously, the west side is less spoiled and beautiful. The east side has a lot of employment opportunities, and the Detroit Institute of Arts is an absolute GEM. There is a ton of great culture in Detroit and it’s slowly coming back. | [
