Methane Leaks

vendredi 7 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A court blocked the EPA's plan to delay the regulation of methane leaks.

Facebook lawsuit dismissed

vendredi 7 juillet 2017 à 02:00

A lawsuit demanding Facebook stop tracking people's browsing through Like buttons was dismissed.

Perhaps current law doesn't prohibit Facebook (and others) from tracking people's browsing. If so, we should change that law.

To base privacy law on whether there is an "expectation of privacy" means it is totally ineffective for resisting the transformation of society into a panopticon.

Millions in UK destitute

vendredi 7 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Tory policies have made millions of people in the UK destitute for at least part of 2015. That means they lacked the basic necessities of life.

When statistics for 2016 arrive, I expect they will show an even larger number.

Tens of thousands protested in London against Tory policies that drive people into poverty.

Bravo, but people being pushed into destitution have no obligation to limit themselves to peaceful protests. Such conditions justify rebellion. Why let your rich masters crush you without fighting back?

People who can't legally get food, in a land with enough food for all, are entitled to take food

Troll Administration

vendredi 7 juillet 2017 à 02:00

The troll doesn't really have an administration. He doesn't care enough to set one up.

I think the article is mistaken about why we call some governments a "regime". It's not because they don't bother to govern. (Most of them do govern, though perhaps in a cruel way.) It's because they are autocratic and trample people's rights.

I gather that part of the reason so many positions remain unfilled is that lots of people don't want to work for the troll. Only people eager to achieve some private goal (typically, sabotage on behalf of business) would work for him.

Lancashire Fracking

vendredi 7 juillet 2017 à 02:00

Britons have not given up on resisting the experimental fracking site. 13 protesters have locked themselves up to block access.
