Harassment of airline passengers

jeudi 11 août 2016 à 02:00

An American Airlines flight attendant harassed two Muslim passengers who were complaining about being kept on the plane for hours with little water. One took a picture of him, so he kicked her off the plane.

Methane emissions from cows

jeudi 11 août 2016 à 02:00

California wants to reduce the methane emissions from cows. Unfortunately, the only way is to reduce the number of cows. If we want civilization to survive, that's what we must do.

We can't keep raising so much cattle, and methane is not the only reason. We can't grow feed for so many cattle, either. And it is unhealthful to eat a lot of meat.

Thugs

Thugs systematically arrest and mistreat the journalists that make videos of their crimes.

It will take firm and reliable punishment to get through the thick heads of these thugs and make them stop trying to terrorize people.

Municipal broadband

A defeat in court for the FCC and municipal broadband; a victory for the big (and often monopolistic) commercial ISPs.

Nauru refugee prison

jeudi 11 août 2016 à 02:00

In the pervasive cruelty of Nauru, children are accustomed to rape and to suicide, and parents plan to carry their children into the sea.

The private contractors (of course!) that run the Nauru refugee prison cover up the situation by minimizing each incident. When doctors say a prisoner needs urgent medical care, the government says no.

If Australia wants to avoid receiving many thousands of refugees, it had better not try to cover up what it does.
