Various organizations that run Gay Pride parades are deciding that uniformed thugs are not welcome.
Various organizations that run Gay Pride parades are
deciding
that uniformed thugs are not welcome.
One strategy is to remember the historic hostility and cruelty of
thugs towards gays. Another strategy is to try to replace that with a
friendly relationship so as to avoid that hostility in the future. I,
as an outsider, don't have an opinion about which to choose, but I can
see the sense in each one. |

Canada's Big Banks Are Secretly Supporting Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion.
*Canada's Big Banks Are Secretly Supporting
Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion.*
The banks are TD Securities, RBC Capital Markets, Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce, BMO Capital Markets, Scotiabank, and National Bank
of Canada. All these banks say they are committed to climate defense,
but it seems to be lip service only.
If you have money in any of these banks (even if in a different part
of it), I urge you to move it out, and tell the bank why. |

Global heating is slowing down the Atlantic's north-south currents
Global heating is slowing down the
Atlantic's north-south currents,
This will tend to make northern Europe
cooler and the Caribbean even hotter. It will also mean even more floods in
Eastern Australia, and increasing drought in the US southwest. |

Reportedly the Federal Reserve is pulling money out of the US economy
Reportedly the Federal Reserve is pulling money out of the US economy,
which could cause a global depression.
I don't have a basis to judge, myself, whether this is true now,
but what it says about the past fits with what I know. |

Study shows some people in US and UK face huge financial hit if fossil fuels lose value
*[Some] people in US and UK face huge financial hit if
fossil fuels
lose value, study shows.*
The businesses that own fossil fuel facilities would lose stock value,
and the owners of the stock would lose the wealth of owning that stock.
If we stop the development of fossil fuel infrastructure and extraction
facilities, the undeveloped reserves will lose their value. But that
is likely to happen gradually as measures are taken and made firm.
Investors and pension funds can avoid being hit by this by divesting
from fossil fuels. |

In the UK, two million people are suffering from long Covid
In the UK, two million people are suffering from long Covid --
3% of the
population.
In the US, the fraction is
around 6% of the population.
It is not clear whether these two measurements are comparable,
or what the difference might mean.
What is clear is that governments that yield to public pressure
to "stop protecting us and let us ignore the danger" are making
a terrible mistake. |
