“Norilsk starts cooling the ground to preserve buildings on thawing permafrost”
Val Eisman:
“"Rising Arctic temperatures are causing permafrost to thaw, putting the world’s largest city built on frozen ground in deep trouble.
"Regional authorities this week inspected the buildings in Norilsk and looked at needs for reconstruction, the official portal of the Krasnoyarsk Krai informs.
News agency TASS reports that thermal stabilisation of soils under 10 apartment buildings in Norilsk, whose foundations are under threat due to thawing permafrost, will be carried out in 2021-2024. 650 million rubles (€7,9 million) will be invested in the thermal stabilisation program."
In 2019 and 2020, soil cooling systems were installed along the contour of two houses aimed to freeze the foundations in the ground. The system consists of a network of pipes through which the refrigerant circulates."”

“Wealth breeds…
A class of people for whom human beings are disposable commodities…
Once oligarchs achieve unchecked economic power, as they have in the United States,
The citizens too become disposable.”

“A word to the 1%...
“You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copy-righted the food we eat.
We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you.
You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed.
We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to you decadence.
You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings.
You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions.
You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living.
You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame.
We are hit…we are bleeding…but we ain’t go time to bleed.
We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!”
Jesse Ventura

America’s Judiciary is vile abject disgrace:

Screwed with eyes wide open that is:
“When House progressives joined in an unprecedented show of strength last month to fight for a strong Build Back Better reconciliation bill, many were taken by surprise. But not The Intercept’s D.C. Bureau Chief Ryan Grim, who’s been chronicling the rise of the party’s insurgent wing for years and wrote that “the progressive flex was a long time coming.”
What comes next for congressional Democrats will be even more important. Can they overcome an army of corporate lobbyists to enact Medicare expansion and Green New Deal programs? Or will they waffle and splinter — allowing Biden’s agenda to languish, breeding yet more public cynicism?
A year before the midterm elections — and the day after critical elections in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts — join Grim, investigative reporter Lee Fang, and Washington editor Nausicaa Renner for a live discussion about the struggle for the future of the Democratic Party.”

“Elon Musk’s net worth is currently $255 billion.

Some useful context for the “billionaire tax” arguments.”
