I spoke about the crisis that has engulfed all branches of production. But there is one industry that has not been caught in the crisis. This industry is the military industry. It is growing all the time, despite the crisis. The bourgeois states are furiously arming and rearming themselves. For what? Of course, not for conversation, but for the war. And the imperialists need war, since it is the only means for redivision of the world, for redistribution of sales markets, sources of raw materials, areas of capital investment.

It is quite understandable that in this situation the so-called pacifism is living out its last days...

V. Stalin

War is the continuation of policy. Consequently, we must examine the policy pursued prior to the war, the policy that led to and brought about the war. If it was an imperialist policy, i.e., one designed to safeguard the interests of finance capital and rob and oppress colonies and foreign countries, then the war stemming from that policy is imperialist. If it was a national liberation policy, i.e., one expressive of the mass movement against national oppression, then the war stemming from that policy is a war of national liberation.

The philistine does not realize that war is “the continuation of policy”, and consequently limits himself to the formula that “the enemy has attacked us”, “the enemy has invaded my country”, without stopping to think what issues are at stake in the war, which classes are waging it, and with what political objects.

For the philistine the important thing is where the armies stand, who is winning at the moment. For the Marxist the important thing is what issues are at stake in this war, during which first one, then the other army may be on top.

V. Lenin

French lawmakers voted late on Saturday to abolish domestic flights on routes than can be covered by train in under two-and-a-half hours, as the government seeks to lower carbon emissions even as the air travel industry reels from the global pandemic.

The measure is part of a broader climate bill that aims to cut French carbon emissions by 40% in 2030 from 1990 levels, though activists accuse President Emmanuel Macron of watering down earlier promises in the draft legislation.

“We know that aviation is a contributor of carbon dioxide and that because of climate change we must reduce emissions,” she told Europe 1 radio. “Equally, we must support our companies and not let them fall by the wayside.”

Air traffic may not return to pre-crisis levels before 2024.

Just wait a little and they will also remotely limit your new electric cars. I already hear talks about it from inside Apple (as company will be part of big alliance who will be responsible for subscription model on your car and much more).

It's nice to visit a state that is NOT ruled by its people.

The Stiftung Warentest tested various washing machines from different manufacturers in 2013.

The result: none of the machines tested reached 60 ° C in the 60-degree eco programs. One machine even reached only 35.4 instead of 60 degrees Celsius.

What most consumers do not know: The legislature only stipulates that the eco programs must achieve a certain washing effect, but not the temperature indicated on the machine. Manufacturers use this "gap" and sometimes drastically lower the temperature of their eco programs in order to save energy. In conjunction with a longer running time, the required washing performance is still achieved and the machine is given a high energy efficiency class.
