In 1811-12, the Luddites attempted to resist some of the first waves of machine-industrialisation. They were crushed.

20 years later "pauper apprentices" (= orphan children) were being SOLD to factory-owners as cheap labour.

Please remember, every time you see a newspaper or magazine article denigrating people - people like myself - who choose to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, there will always be a tiny, quiet voice in the mind of the author whispering, 'what if they're right'?

Thank god -
Things can only get lighter from here.
December 21 is the winter solstice, which means that in the Northern Hemisphere:

- The path of the Sun is farthest south in the sky
- The Sun travels the shortest path, giving the day the least daylight and the longest night
- Things can only get lighter from here

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol - who commutes to Seattle from CA using a company-provided private jet - made $96 million for just 4 months of work.

Brian makes 6,666 times the average Starbucks worker. That's the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500!

Seeing Star Trek trending with mostly everyone saying the new show looks crap, but they'll still watch it. Ok, so I guess that means no one is actually boycotting Paramount?

As it ramps up through the week of Halloween, and even though you know it's coming, the explosion of Christmas on Nov 1 is an assault on the senses and common decency.

6. This is why I always think of viruses, for example, as molecular sharks. They just 'want' one thing: to replicate. As such, their mutation and subsequent adaptation will always be aimed towards that goal. It goes without saying that none of our beliefs as humans changes that.
