Support for workers fired for Vaccine refusal

lundi 6 décembre 2021 à 06:06

Several states governed by the Covid Party now offer unemployment support to workers that are fired for refusal to get vaccinated. In effect, this amounts to paying people to undermine public health.

The Republican Party program is to keep Covid-19 circulating in the US as much as possible. This causes instability and harms the economy, both of which make Americans unhappy, and they perversely blame Biden rather the the Republicans who are doing it.

Some Americans foolishly accused China of releasing Covid-19 in order to hurt the US. That accusation is implausible and there is no evidence for it. But that's basically what the Republican Party is doing now.

One Democrat in Congress accused them without mincing words.

Part of Australia regularly jails minors under inhumane conditions, giving them only an hour per day outside the cell. Even children are jailed.

Deaths from air pollution

lundi 6 décembre 2021 à 06:06

Air pollution kills over 170,000 people per year in Europe.

I'd guess it's a comparable amount in the US. It's population is around 3/4 of the EU's, but I think it treats poor people worse.

China disinformation campaign

China ran an organized disinformation campaign to cover up the imprisonment and brainwashing of a million Uyghurs. Twitter just closed it.

Caste prejudice

lundi 6 décembre 2021 à 06:06

There are so many Indian students in US universities that caste prejudice has come with them. Some US universities are taking measures to resist it.

We don't know how long the phenomenon of Dalits has existed in India. Some say that in the period 600-1000, when Hindus took control in India and crushed Buddhism, they oppressed the Buddhists and that oppression made them Dalits.
