This is a brilliant move — both helping the enemy's victims and building up the movement against them.

An oil tanger sank in the Philippines and now threatens to pollute protected marine areas — meaning it causes danger of extinction.

The world's approach to this sort of disaster is not systematic. A systematic approach would design ships and sailing rules to provide redundant protection so that there will be no such leaks.

*New York Gov. Kathy Hochul calls for new rail safety regulations — after rejecting [New York State] safety legislation requiring trains to be staffed with at least two crew members.*

More confirmation that her actual political alignment is "plutocratist."

Ford envisions making cars harass the driver if the company wants to repossess the car. It expressed this by filing a patent application for the malicious idea.

Whether this idea is patented or not, or by which company, is just a detail. What is significant is that "connected" cars make this possible and easy for any company to use on people. The car could even refuse to start at all — or start spontaneously and drive itself. And the manufacturer will always know where the car is located at any time.
