EU strikes a harder line on "illegal migration"

🔎Media and officials often refer to “illegal migration” as if "legal" pathways to seek protection actually exist for those in need.
Deportations and sanctions: EU strikes harder line on migration

Food Security , anyone? Europe is losing its farmers.

5.3 MILLION farms have disappeared since 2005. Small-scale farmland is being eaten up by Big Agri corporations.

Big industrial farms make starting out nearly impossible.

This historic mobilisation is a legitimate and necessary response to an unjust labour reform proposed by Portugal's government.

And lets not forget Space is like the ultimate Commons

Why even entertain the idea that it is ok for private insanely rich individuals to exploit this space at the expense of us, to litter it with their waste, which will ultimately harm public interest use ?

I’m but a simple country theoretical physicist, and I can say, in my professional capacity, “datacenters in space” is so colossally, monumentally stupid that it is difficult to know where to start with which laws of physics the idea is spitting in the face of the most.
“.. Skeptics believe the technical risks are being underestimated and say space-based data centers won’t be competitive on cost, especially if power and other constraints ease on the ground.”
