Wells Fargo Bank

vendredi 15 mars 2019 à 01:00

Wells Fargo Bank thinks of fossil fuels as a great investment opportunity.

That is short-term thinking. That investment might pay off for 20 or 30 years, but beyond that the disasters will start damaging the value of investments. 20 more years and technological civilization could collapse, and many of those investments will simply disappear.

That loss would serve the owners of Wells Fargo right. Unfortunately, the loss would not be limited to them. So we can't afford to wait quietly and tell them, "We told you so." We must stop them from doing what they intend to do.

Spotting Ghost Users

The proposed surveillance technique of inserting "ghost" users would be detectable when used, in several ways.

Greta Thunberg

vendredi 15 mars 2019 à 01:00

Greta Thunberg challenges the elite at Davos to start doing something to defend Earth's climate.

Here is the text of her speech: "Our house is on fire."

I criticize one point: "panic" is not the word for what people must do. Panic is not the way to put out a fire. We must confront the danger rationally and effectively.

Cut aid to Clinics

The bully's global gag rule, which cut off US aid to clinics that provide abortions or even counseling, has caused suffering to women around the world.

Zandrea Askew

vendredi 15 mars 2019 à 01:00

Zandrea Askew is suing the Illinois thugs that tied her and stripped her in a jail cell, then left her there naked for 12 hours.

She says the charges were false and unjustified, too. I am inclined to believe her word rather than thugs' word.

It would be wrong to treat anyone this way. The fact that she is a black woman is pertinent to mention, because those characteristics may be part of why thugs did this to her. That she is an ex-marine is not relevant; to mention it suggests that non-veterans are less important.
