Both the Democratic and Republicans agree the 99% doesn’t really need to be fed, but they’re both so giddy at another opportunity to deny the genetically inferior what they need to live they can’t focus,…trust me it will be those fascists hate the most - the poor and those they don’t want to use to generate profit

Here is article in case fb erases it: Vox “fight over who to feed”:

“Here are the most polluted cities in the U.S. and world”

“About 90% of the global population in 2022 experienced unhealthy air quality, according to a new report from Swiss air quality technology company IQAir.

IQAir measured air quality levels based on the concentration of lung-damaging airborne particles known as PM 2.5.

The report found that the top five most polluted countries in 2022 were Chad, Iraq, Pakistan, Bahrain and Bangladesh.”

“If the people of East Palestine were hoping to see the wheels of justice start to turn in their favor with the recent Congressional hearing with Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw, they may be sorely disappointed. Shaw dodged questions and refused to commit to any meaningful changes to his company’s safety strategy”

Senators recently interrogated Alan Shaw, head of the rail company, about Norfolk Southern’s record after last month’s rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio.”

The whole 30% set aside is only a small part of what needs to be added to:


"The report from researchers at the United Kingdom Centre for Ecology and Hydrology and the University of Sheffield, shows that protected areas — which have been seen as key to protecting biodiversity — can be effective at protecting rare species, but have been unsuccessful in protecting common species."


Britain's failure to defend biodiversity in its protected areas proves that who is in charge of conservation is just as important as how much land is conserved.”
