Facebook's deal with Huawei

vendredi 15 juin 2018 à 02:00

Facebook made a deal with Huawei to give it access to personal data of Facebook useds. This included useds who were customers of Huawei, and their "friends". This even though the US government considers Huawei a spy for China.

Facebook did the same thing for other phone manufacturers such as Apple and Blackberry.

Even if you are not a customer of those companies, you are still better off not being a used of Facebook.

Environmental Poisoning Agency

vendredi 15 juin 2018 à 02:00

A US court ordered the Environmental Poisoning Agency to hand over any scientific material it might have that justifies Saboteur Pruitt's global heating denialism.

The EPA claims it would have to spend "countless hours" studying literature about global heating. Perhaps trying to find the few (if any) documents that deny global heating, among the huge stacks that demonstrate global heating, would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Future workers

The Teamsters' Union has learned that it is a mistake to abandon future workers to preserve the wage level of the current workers.

US mismanagement of dairy industry

vendredi 15 juin 2018 à 02:00

The bully wants to export US mismanagement of the dairy industry to Canada, but Canada won't stand for it.

If this leads to cancellation of NAFTA, that would be a tremendous advance since NAFTA includes the ISDS (I Sue Democratic States) provision that allows foreign companies to sue to abolish any laws that get in their way.

Asbestos in cheater's buildings

vendredi 15 juin 2018 à 02:00

The cheater rejects the idea that asbestos in his buildings could cause disease, and has had Saboteur Pruitt invent an excuse to make the EPA disregard the issue.

In parts of the US, state and local laws require removal of asbestos or forbid its use. Therefore, some of his buildings might not have any. Also, the risk from spending a few nights in a hotel which has asbestos in it somewhere may be too small to worry about. On the other hand, the staff might have a reason for concern.

Under a plutocratic regime, those staff, if they get sick, will be left to cope, on their own, asbestos they can.
