State-mandated deletion of news articles

jeudi 22 septembre 2016 à 02:00

Italy's Supreme Court ruled that newspapers must delete articles after two years, if someone objects to them.

The Trade In Services Agreement

jeudi 22 septembre 2016 à 02:00

The leaked text of the Trade In Services Agreement shows that negotiators are planning to directly oppose efforts to save Earth from global heating disaster.

The draft text calls for "energy neutrality" between renewable and fossil fuels, and a ban on subsidies for renewable energy.

Would it require an end to fossil fuel subsidies? I doubt it. The planet roasters will have set up some sort of loophole for themselves.

Isolation in today's society

jeudi 22 septembre 2016 à 02:00

Today's society is so isolating that people are starting to pay for dining companions and walks.

I don't see anything wrong with offering these services, or using them, but the need for them is a symptom of a deep problem which is very important.

I suspect the cause is so much use of digital communications.

Activist convicted by Thai military regime

jeudi 22 septembre 2016 à 02:00

Activist Andy Hall was convicted by the Thai military regime for investigating and reporting on enslavement of workers in Thailand.

We should suspect every company in Thailand of using enslaved workers, since the state will not allow people to distinguish which of them do and which of them don't.

Subsidies for fossil fuels

jeudi 22 septembre 2016 à 02:00

The US and China have released lists of their subsidies for fossil fuels.

I wonder when the planet roasters will propose a special subsidy for amphibious cars as the way to cope with the increasing floods caused by global heating.
