Women stop playing rigged capitalist game

mercredi 3 août 2016 à 02:00

An executive said that women in the advertising business don't reach the top because they'd rather have a good life than compete no-holds-barred for the top slot.

Maybe we should all learn from their wisdom.

Volunteer

I am looking for people to write a recipe for how to connect to the WiFi in a Mcdonalds without running its nonfree Javascript code. The recipe could include a free Javascript program I could run, or it could consist of instructions for what I would type into IceCat (our variant of Firefox). It doesn't have't be super convenient, it just has to work.

Turkish coup

mardi 2 août 2016 à 02:00

Erdoğan's PM says that coup participants have said the coup was organized directly by Fethullah Gülen.

I believe they said this. Torture enough people and some will give confessions — whether true or not. However, the claim that they said this immediately upon their arrest stinks, to put it mildly.

I have no idea whether Gülen was involved in the coup attempt, but testimony from prisoners in Turkish jails proves nothing at all about it.

Knighthood to business owners

mardi 2 août 2016 à 02:00

A British retain company that employed 11,000 people collapsed because its owner bled it dry. And he robbed the workers of their pension fund.

It's the government's responsibility to prevent business owners from doing that. Will the UK government fulfull this responsibility?

For a "socialist" like B'liar even to propose giving a knighthood to a big business owner shows the extent of "New Labour"'s perversion.

Now Labour is divided between conservatives in the model of B'liar and progressives such as Corbyn.

Airplane emissions and global heating

mardi 2 août 2016 à 02:00

It took the EPA 9 years to recognize that airplane emissions contribute to global heating and that we need policies to reduce those emissions.

The EPA plans to require airplanes to be more efficient, but avoiding disaster requires reduced total emissions. It is necessary to tax flying so much that the emissions from flying decrease substantially.
