Climate caused migration may be the biggest international issue that northern developed nations will face in the 2nd half of the century. The massive impact the climate has had in the equatorial/lower tropic countries the past few years has been alarming.

Still better than watching the face of u/spez.

Contextual_Idiot, in Jeffrey Epstein got $300 million in US Virgin Islands tax incentives, JPMorgan says

Sounds like the article should have been titled "Rich guy paid everyone off to get away with his crimes."

Sorry about the thumbnail. From the article:

JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) said the U.S. Virgin Islands gave Jeffrey Epstein more than $300 million in tax incentives and waived sex offender monitoring requirements, shielding the disgraced late financier as he gave cash and gifts to top officials.

In a Tuesday night court filing, the largest U.S. bank described how Epstein allegedly paid law enforcement entities such as the Virgin Islands Police Department.
The S&P 500 dropped about

JPMorgan also alleged in the filings that Epstein had ties to U.S. Virgin Islands officials, including former first lady Cecile de Jongh, who the bank said were aware of Epstein's crimes.

Spokespeople for the U.S. Virgin Islands did not immediately respond to requests for comment after business hours. The territory's police department and de Jongh did not immediately respond to similar requests.

JPMorgan's filing, redacted versions of which had already been filed, is part of its defense against a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court by the U.S. Virgin Islands over its relationship with Epstein, a client from 1998 to 2013.

The territory, where Epstein owned two neighboring islands, has accused JPMorgan of facilitating Epstein's sex crimes by providing banking services, and enabling him to pay his victims.

tallwookie, in India's hospitals overwhelmed as heatwave death toll reaches 170
@tallwookie@lemmy.world avatar

it doesnt really say why people were affected so - the ones that died, were they homeless or just unable to obtain air conditioning?

alternative_factor avatar

I remember the "monkey torture rabbit hole" very well, there was a great worry that some people who wanted to go past even animals would be in those communities and there were several convincing links e-investigators made to all sorts of horrible,unmentionable things. I'm really glad governments have been looking into it.

Good bot!

Pons_Aelius, in Missing Titanic Sub Once Faced Massive Lawsuit Over Depths It Could Safely Travel To

With every news story about this submersible, my expectations for a good outcome for the people onboard falls.

It sounds more and more likely that this machine was not capable or barely capable of the expedition.

So, like the Logitech F710 they used as the control interface.... it makes sense to use a prefabricated control interace. (cough, cough, gamepad, cough,) But like. there's a reason those used to sell for thirty bucks. decades ago. They were cheap.

They bought things like lighting from Camping World. Probably bought the cheapest LED lantern they could find. The thing was built in house and everything was more or less slapped together.
