🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

It is the politicians who do their best to starve the sustainable-energy industry to line the pockets of their fossil-fuel-peddling buddies. It is the coal companies and the politicians who support them.

This can have consequences for how agents see themselves. If they put on clothes designed for war, they are more likely to see cities as hostile terrain and citizens as enemy combatants, which can increase the chance of violence. Link to the story here:

Nazi-lection Leon and his Swastikars notwithstanding, Tesla was right to leave crypto alone. But the grift-aholic Trump crime family is wrong, wrong, wrong. May a certain guy drown while being Tazed in a shark’s polluted belly.
Remember when Elon said Tesla was no longer accepting bitcoin as payment cause of the environmental harm done by Bitcoin mining

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
