Indian farmers are on strike

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

Indian farmers are on strike, demanding repeal of new farm laws that are said to help corporations dominate farmers.

Kejriwal, the highest local official of Delhi was prevented by national thugs from joining the protest.

I don't know any specifics about these laws, but his support suggests to me that the farmers have good reason.

The Great Reset

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

*The Great Reset is an attempt to create a plausible impression that the huge winners in this system are on the verge of voluntarily setting greed aside to get serious about solving the raging crises that are radically destabilizing our world.*

I looked at the Great Reset web page and saw a long list of disparate ideas, but I did not see anything clear to say what it was for. I read one article that had been recommended and it didn't seem to have a clear point.

So I spent no more time on it.

The new district attorney of Los Angeles County

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

The new district attorney of Los Angeles County will no longer seek the death penalty, no longer try children as adults, no longer ask the court to make a sentence longer.

In addition, the new DA will not ask for cash bail, except for violent or serious felonies. To this, the thug union had a completely bullshit response.

The response presents us with a fantasy world in which (1) everyone who gets bail was charged with shooting a gun and (2) making people facing such charges pay bail is going to make them less dangerous.

It is bullshit because those are serious, violent felonies, so the DA's no-bail policy does not apply to them at all.
