    Mad Greta: You should eat boiled grass and similar stuff
    • Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg launched an appeal on Saturday for a change in food production and consumption in the face of repeated crises threatening the world.

      "The climate crisis, ecological crisis and health crisis -- they are all interlinked," Thunberg said in a video posted on social media for international biodiversity day.

      "Millions have died from Covid-19, Zika, Ebola, West Nile fever, SARS, MERS, HIV-AIDS," *as viruses jump from animals to humans**, "The way we farm and treat nature cutting down forests and destroying habitats, we are creating the perfect conditions for diseases to spill over from one animal to another -- and to us,"

      "If we keep making food the way we do we will also destroy the habitats of most wild plants and animals driving countless species to extinction," Thunberg added.

      "They are our life supporting system if we lose them we will be lost too."

      "When we think about the villains of the climate crisis of course we picture fossil fuel companies but agriculture and land use together are about one quarter of our emissions this is huge,".

      "It doesn't have to be like this. If we change towards a plant-based diet we could save up to eight billion tons of CO2 every single year."

      Meet new Fascists.

    Good quote: Steinbeck on present moment and near future
    • I remember the 29th well. Everything worked out (not for me, but for the majority). I remember the drugged and happy faces of people who made fortunes in stocks they would never have made. “I made ten thousand in ten minutes today! Estimate - that's eighty thousand in a week. " In our wilderness, bank presidents and railroad workers have cut off telephones by calling brokers. Everyone was a broker. At lunchtime, clerks and stenographers chewed sandwiches, followed the quotes and calculated their winnings, growing like a pyramid. Their eyes were like those of casino players.

      Then came the panic. And the panic gave way to a dull shock. When the market collapsed, factories, mines, workshops ... Everything was closed. Nobody could buy anything. Even food. People looked like they had been muzzled. The newspapers talked about the broken lives of those who threw themselves out of the window. On the sidewalk, they literally crashed ... Then people rushed to withdraw money. Riots and clashes with the police broke out. Frightened and furious stormed the bank offices until the doors were closed tightly. As in the days of Marie Antoinette, President Hoover invited the unemployed to sell apples. Businessmen panicked, banks panicked, workers demanded to open factories, but no one needed the goods. People began to stock up on food - as before the invasion. Local power passed to the gangsters.

    Capitalism: On civil war
    • Many sympathize with the socialist revolution, but fear a civil war. In fact, they have nothing to fear, because a civil war, within the framework of the capitalist paradigm, is always going on. It does not stop for a minute.

      This is not even a war, but a massacre. When the people are subjected to continuous robbery and terror by a handful of greedy thugs who seized power and are fattening at the expense of the rest of the population.

      The civilian casualties in this war are enormous and irreparable. This merciless carnage has been going on for many years. The number of the ordinary hard working people, within the framework of the capitalist paradigm, not only does not grow, but decreases by hundreds of thousands of people annually even in highly developed countries. Making victims numbers already in the tens of millions.

      We must clearly understand that the ruling class, from the point of view of the oppressed classes, is no better than foreign invaders. They have the same goals and the same methods. Both those and others kill, rob and rape the people. Therefore, a revolution, a class war, is not just a civil war, it is a social liberation war, a war of the oppressed against their oppressors. And it doesn't matter what kind of oppressor these are, the same nationality or some other. They are the same bastards, exactly the same.

      Thus, a class war is not just a civil war, not a war of some citizens, for power over other citizens. For the communists, this is not a power struggle for themselves. For them, first of all, it is a struggle for power for the people. This is the end of the endless war of the ruling classes against the oppressed.

      Class war is a battle of the oppressed classes themselves against their oppressors. The battle is for freedom for yourself and for your children. This is a battle of honest people with notorious scum who want to build their own personal paradise from hell for everyone else.

    War: Auto chips shortages had been caused artificially
    • Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSMC) said on Friday that it has increased its 2021 output for a key component for automotive semiconductors by 60per cent compared with last year, amid a global chip shortage.

      TSMC, the world's largest contract chipmaker, said it had taken "unprecedented actions" to help automakers.

      That includes reallocating capacity to other industries that are also experiencing "stressfully high demand due to the acceleration of digital transformation".

      "With a fixed short-term capacity, TSMC managed to increase 2021 output for MCUs (microcontrollers), one of the key components in automotive semiconductor products, by 60 percent over the 2020 level," it said.

      This represents a 30 percent increase over the 2019 pre-pandemic level, the company added.

      Now it become clear that lot of auto chip manufacturers got orders to stop production, to allow transfer to TSMC, as big prices of such chips allowed TSMC to get extra funds that it needs for 4nm and further processes.

    MAGA: 22 states cancel COVID jobless payments
    • The $300 weekly federal unemployment benefit deprives Americans of the incentive to work and increases labor shortages, Republicans say. Republican governors in 22 US states have announced the abolition of the $300 weekly federal unemployment benefit. According to them, this financial aid is discouraging Americans from returning to work.

      Now the pendulum will move to opposite state.

    War: Lack of vacations and pension savings will be normal
    • American motivational speaker, life coach and business coach Tony Robbins spoke about the changes that have taken place in the global labor market. If earlier a specialist could make a career, working in one company throughout his life, and retire, then millennials and subsequent generations will not be able to do this.
      “Stable employment, annual paid vacations and pensions are now about as 'realistic' as keeping cash under a mattress,” said the business coach. "Young people who are building their future in America, and around the world, for that matter, must learn new rules."

      Life will be better and better, to be short. Until someone will organize working people to end this improvements once and for all.

    War: Energy based genocide coming
    • The International Energy Agency (IEA) has called on countries to immediately abandon new projects in the oil and gas sector, stop building CHP plants, and by 2035 abandon gasoline-powered cars. This is the only way to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and keep the global temperature rise at around 1.5 ° C, the organization said in a report published on Tuesday.

      Humanity still has a “narrow but achievable” opportunity to achieve zero emissions, but the effort it will take makes it “arguably the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced,” notes IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol. According to him, the world needs decisive action, "backed by broad international cooperation."

      At the same time, even if the governments of the countries fulfill all the commitments on climate that they gave, including under the Paris Agreement, this will not be enough to keep the global temperature rise at an acceptable level, the report says. In addition to moving away from oil and gas and switching to electric vehicles, countries need to quadruple solar and wind energy. To do this, according to the agency's estimates, governments will have to more than double investments in renewable energy - up to $ 5 trillion.

      However, so far not all countries are fulfilling their earlier promises, the organization states. “We are seeing more and more governments around the world commit to zero emissions, and this is very good news.

      Things seems very bad if they are so open so soon.
