Funds from slave trade

jeudi 20 septembre 2018 à 02:00

Universities which received funds, centuries ago, from participants in the slave trade are taking steps to educate the public about this.

I don't think that the universities are guilty for having received those funds, but educating the public about the slave trade and its influence is a good thing to do.

The point at which accepting donors from evildoers becomes a moral issue in itself is when they use you to buy public approval for their acts and undermine your responsibilities to the public. For instance, today, when planet roasters have positions on the boards of organizations that do science education, such as WGBH and the American Museum of Natural History, and when Bill Gates donates "Gates Buildings" for university computer science departments.

Imprisoned immigrant minors

jeudi 20 septembre 2018 à 02:00

The bully's fear agents are now holding 12,000 immigrant minors prisoner.

Some of them are children, and some are teenagers.

In the past, most of them were sent to stay with families, but cruelty suits the bully's purpose of demonizing them.

UK natural gas price

jeudi 20 septembre 2018 à 02:00

The UK may increase its use of coal, as natural gas is getting more expensive.

The planet-roaster response to the situation is fracking. The civilization-saving response is renewable electricity.

If not for the Tories' highly effective campaign to slow development of renewable electric generation, the situation would have been corrected already.
