PROOF: Super rich people are not the makers but the parasites of our society. And we must say it!

A further example of rich people being parasites even as they would deny those who work

They have self-defined as the makers. So they enrich themselves on what we make, our work, worth, and service like parasites. And here’s proof. Super rich people define parasites See full episodes here. The title of the article was simple enough and to the fact. Unfortunately, that is too antiseptic....

Minerva @ Midnight: GOP states want to suppress protests by deputizing civilian vehicular assault

Only Republicans would encourage running over demonstrators by indemnifying and pitting RWNJs and their vehicles against peaceful crowds. Because who knew that the “unintentional” weaponizing of personal vehicles was possible when pretending you’re driving a Tesla into a crowd of demonstrators.  “Five states besides Florida introduced similar bills this year, granting some...

Josh Hawley goes all snowflakey because 'antifa scumbags' came to his house

Speaking of criminal behavior, protesters left strongly worded placards and votive candles at Josh Hawley’s house, which he called vandalism and an attack on his wife and child by “antifa scumbags”. x So, they left signs (with words spelled correctly) and flickering candles.

Remember the emissions-cheating diesel scandal at VW? Turns out that the fix is itself a cheat.

View from Tlanepantla of Mexico City blanketed by smog on March 18, 2016. Mexican officials lifted a four-day air pollution alert in the nation's densely-populated capital after ozone levels dropped, according to them, to acceptable levels. Mexico City authorities issued the first air pollution alert in 14 years due to high ozone levels, restricting traffic, encouraging children to stay indoors and ordering factories to cut emissions.

Uh oh. Let’s start off by pointing out that not everything Volkswagen does is bad. Namely, while their EV production targets are still significantly lower than Tesla’s, of the “traditional automakers”, they have the most ambitious electrification programme. And that’s something to be commended. Indeed, when the other day VW’s head...
