Still, seems like an improvement on the path humanity was on of having periodic global bloodbaths over individual human egos and the nationalism others attach to it. We still have bloodbaths over those issues, don’t get me wrong, just smaller scale overall.
And nobody please mention Switzerland as an example. Yes, we have lots of guns but they aren’t meant for self-defense outside some very narrow exceptions. Thankfully we can trust our police to do their work and they are usually very well trained.
Likely not a all… The only chance these behemoth companies get punished is by the public turning on them but they have already insulated themselves from that (most people would not know how to avoid their planes when booking the next vacation on Expedia)
In a properly working environment, even a Capitalist one, the government should intervene, jail the board, and either nationalize it or auction it off for parts… The most important part is really the jailing of the board
Boeing and the american government are too deep in bed. Nothing significant will happen. Maybe a few executives get fired just to satisfy the demands for action. In fact the american government will likely bail the company out when things take a dive (their stock as well as their aircraft).
He was able to leave the contraption for short periods of time. He was able to breathe on his own, but not well and would become fatigued quickly. He wasn’t as stuck as it seems.
Part of the strategy of a terror state, is to have people fill in the blanks themselves. That way they can never know whether “let’s have some tea”, “let’s go for a walk”, or “have you looked out the window” are actual death threats or not, keeping everyone in a constant state of paranoia, that makes them try extra hard to not displease the dictator.
“It comes just over a week after its president, Claudine Gay, resigned in part over her handling of antisemitism.”
Is this just blatant misinformation or am I out of the loop? I was under the impression that she resigned over plagiarism while some people online criticized her for “antisemitism”. I haven’t read anything about antisemitism being a primary cause from any publication but this one.
As with anything you read about Israel, the facts are always distorted just slightly enough to completely change the message without flat out lying. It’s not just you, there’s a major funk around any Israel based news stories coming out of the mainstream media.
The Amazon is a planted forest, it is looking more and more like it will need aggressive planting to keep it healthy. We should support the indigenous Amazonian in this work for all our sake.
There's lots of evidence of domestication, cultivation, tending over the last 13,000+ years. But calling it a "planted forest" - like as if the majority of plants out in the Amazon were seeded/planted manually by humans - seems like a huge stretch.
Other countries should also be looking at adding forest area and wetlands in a strategic fashion to improve freshwater retention. Deforesting clearly changes local climates. So we should be able to do the reverse as well.
Historical accounts make it sound like the vast majority of land east of the Mississippi in the US used to be old growth forest. Between the chestnut blight and over 200 years of logging, most of the old growth forest is gone.
India has had some notable successes with a grassroots movement to get rural communities to do small earthworks projects to colllect water during the rainy season and let it seep into the ground. They have demonstrated a notable reduction in crop failures during the dry season resulting from the community action.
The prime minister has criticised the timing of the demonstration in London as “provocative and disrespectful”. If he thinks Protesting for a cease fire on Armistice day is disrespectful. Wait till he finds out what Armistice means.
A plane crash can make it easier to claim an alive man is dead as there may not be a body.
I could see this as a means to keep Wagner troops loyalties in check, or just to keep everyone guessing. The most likely scenario though is that Putin did what Putin does which is assassination.
I think its equally likely he was shot down/plane sabotaged, this is fake face saving thing, or the plane crashed due to shoddy mechanics. Whatever the case, the uncertainty works out in Putin’s favour.
Under no circumstances would I assume that money I receive from an ATM is not linked to my accounts. I would also assume that the bank is gonna get theirs because generally speaking, they do.
How much do you wanna bet that he won’t, save for a select couple of cases that they’ll publicise the ever living shit out of before quietly never speaking of it again
