I'm not going to link to a New York Times article (because they're fascist imperialists), but I will steal a quote and a nice graphic from them...
"The richest 10% of Americans — who make an average of $233K a year — produce 56.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per person, per year. That’s more than double the emissions of the richest 10% in Europe. It’s nearly double that of the richest 10% in China.”
🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 We love inequality!

This is where you need strong social services, strong courts to step in and protect children. Anyone working with children and young people need to how to recognise abuse, and be confident to not only report this, but that a child WILL be helped.
While all this is complex, bad parenting needs to be identified, and effective interventions put in place, so that children can get the best start in life, the USA is one of only 2 countries, as far as I am aware, that is not signatory to the UN Convention on the rights of the child.
I am sure in most other countries this would be unacceptable , why does this seem to happen n the US Ohio has a Vinyl Chloride disaster,

Happy 70th Birthday to Richard Stallman. RMS started GNU, and launched the free software movement with it. He founded the @fsf and has remained a champion for software freedom over these many decades. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the cause and for inspiring so many of us to fight for a world where users have control over their computing. Please join me in wishing him a very happy birthday! I'm sure you have his email. 🎉🎂 #HappyBirthday #FreeSoftware #GNU #FSF

There was a time when the schoolyard bully could be put in their place, either by other children standing up to them or by adults making it clear their behavior won't be tolerated, people were scared of the headteacher, and scared of their parents finding out.
Now children are told they have rights, being told off breaches their rights so some do as they want, and threaten those who try and restore order.
So long as that situation is maintained those bullies proabbly go on to abusive relationships, family, friends, work places or leadership.
In the case of Russia, Putin should have been told NO ! back in to 2014, he wasn't so just pushed the boundary further till we have the situation we are in now.

President Biden says assault weapons must be banned. A major veterans group insists Fox News must be banned, too. They’re both right.
Good !! we need to re-set things big time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to anyone celebrating.
Here's hoping I can get a little luck of the Irish going and actually find a nearby McDonald's that sells Shamrock Shakes.

Trump's "a changing America is the real threat to Western civilization" rhetoric from his new video is about as explicitly white nationalist as he's been. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/17/trump-white-nationalism-russia-2024-election/
How much of this commercilism is down to the fact it was bought by Facebook, huge amout of money, which the owner of Instagram at the time was happy to receive.
This post needs to serve as a dire warning of what happens or will probably happen if Meta gains too much control of Fedi.
