Aid to Gambia

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

The EU is offering a lot of aid to Gambia under its newly elected president.

I hope someone can check the deal for strings that might be bad for the country. Such strings in the fine print are common in foreign aid.

Taiwan

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

The troll has reversed himself in regard to supporting Taiwan's independence.

Too bad. I have long been disappointed with the US's timid bowing to China's demand; it looked like this was one of the few areas where the troll might make something better.

Overall, the troll is moving towards continuing the foreign policy of previous presidents.

Big Mistake

mercredi 15 février 2017 à 01:00

The Democratic Party would be making a big mistake if it focuses on helping the white workers whose pay has gone down in the past 3 decades.

I agree with the article's conclusion, but we should not suppose that right-wing democrats abandoned white workers because they were focused on nondiscrimination. It's more the opposite: after Bill Clinton sold out to the rich in the 90s, mainstream Democrats would no longer offer a New Deal, so nondiscrimination was all they had left.

When dooH niboR is making the non-rich poor, if they are not wise enough to see this, they tend to break up into groups that compete with each other. Especially if right-wingers encourage this and nobody discourages it. But if Democrats offer everyone a chance to have comfortable a life, they can work together for that.

Urgent: GMO

In the US: call on supermarkets to reject GMO apples that disguise when they have spoiled.

Flipped out

The troll flipped out in a phone call when Putin proposed extending the most recent nuclear arms limitation treaty.
