Revolving door politics. Politicians retire as members of several boards of directors, while former industry plants become civil “servants”. Should be outlawed in every halfway decent democratic society. Which unfortunately means none nowadays.
My dyslexic brain somehow read that as “Chris Rock”.
Man, I hate having to watch the world slowly burn like this.
I’m not religious, but the bible clearly states that it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into heaven. There’s debate about the “eye of the needle” being simple metaphor or whether it was an actual, but very tiny, gate to the city of Jerusalem. Regardless, the idea stands.
I used to think so as well, but as other posters have pointed out, we actually did manage to live in harmony with nature for tens of thousands of years. Humans aren’t the problem per sé, but our systems definitely are.
This is probably a great time to invest in these businesses. Not that I would, out of principle, but it’s pretty obvious they’re going to make bank.
Murdoch is certainly AU’s worst export product to date.
Snakes have something called Jacobson’s organ, which is basically two cavities inside their nasal area, where they actually insert the two tines of their forked tongues after having “smelled” by performing the characteristic tongue flick. They can then decipher the olfactory molecules of whatever prey they’re trying to track and be able to form a sort of 3d map in their head of where it’s located, provided it’s close enough of course.
Snake olfactory sense is vastly superior. They can use their forked tongue to smell in “3d” and pinpoint a source exactly. It’s their main hunting mechanism.
They’re erasing the memory of these people, or trying to at least. This deliberate targeting of journalists and medical personnel is perhaps the most egregious violation of all human decency in living memory.
Imagine him randomly running into Assad somewhere in a corridor of the Kremlin. Awkward wouldn’t begin to describe it.
