I should point out that there are, in fact, places that have installed all of these: fresh air, filtering, and germicidal UV lights. Do you know where they are?
Where?
PA: The White House, Congress, Number 10 Downing, Parliament, the Reichstag, and WHO. All of our leaders have these protections and procedures in place.
But not our schoolchildren.
The school where former CDC director Rochelle Walensky’s children go, they have these upgrades. #COVID19
@augieray The rich, at it again. Looking out for themselves alone and whining about being "persecuted" for their privilege when they're supposed to do their job of looking out for those who can't look out for themselves but are failing to, just to stay rich. 😞
@Sheril "Can I buy a reasonably priced electric vehicle yet?"
"Nope. China was gonna sell us some but we put the extra taxes on that so no one can afford that either."
Good job folks. 😞🙄😓
We chose profit over life again. 🔥
The current choice in "Leadership" has got to change.
We're all in trouble, double so if the felon gets traction that doesn't keep him in a hospital bed.

Alex Jones owes Sandy Hook victim's families $1.5 Billion
He hasn't paid the families that he terrorized a dime
This, while he spends roughly $100,000 per month on "personal expenses"
So relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook shooting are asking a bankruptcy judge to liquidate Alex Jones' media company—including Infowars—in order to make him pay up
Just a reminder that if New York law enforcement had been doing its job decades ago -- among countless infuriating what-ifs -- the world would have been spared his malign presence in the past decade.
@DrALJONES Because of the examples set and perpetuated by what are passing as Leaders of countries, any faith in humankind is in grave danger.
Those that work to help, and repair what these so called "Leaders" are doing (have done) are the last remaining hope, the only ones preserving that flickering hint of hope in many fellow humans hearts.
@DrALJONES I tend to gravitate towards, we are all capable of as much good as as bad behaviorally. The variants seem to practice bad rather than good.
But opinion has been planted that acting bad for good is somehow an option or that it can yield good.
But we should all understand by now that mixing equal parts ice cream and manure, just doubles the amount of available manure. Maybe this is the quickened descent, maybe this is the pain of awareness as it is being born?
@eff "Authoritarians I mean republicans I mean moderate conservatives in 2024.will keep you safe, even if you don't want to be safe, protect your freedom that they allow you to have, even if you don't want them to protect the freedoms they allow you to have. They'll keep you from the big bad leftist ideas that want to do big bad liberal things to you." If only there was some way of knowing how this would turn out beforehand. If only there was at least one example in the past we could draw from.
When global warming gets bad enough to create millions of refugees, just imagine how nasty the EU and US will become. They may just send people out to the desert to die.
Oh wait, you don't have to imagine! It's happening already:
"A year-long joint investigation by The Washington Post, Lighthouse Reports and a consortium of international media outlets shows how the European Union and individual European nations are supporting and financing aggressive operations by governments in North Africa to detain tens of thousands of migrants each year and dump them in remote areas, often barren deserts.
European funds have been used to train personnel and buy equipment for units implicated in desert dumps and human rights abuses, records and interviews show. Migrants have been pushed back into the most inhospitable parts of North Africa, exposing them to abandonment with no food or water, kidnapping, extortion, sale as human chattel, torture, sexual violence and, in the worst instances, death."
@darabos@johncarlosbaez Yes, it seems.
This isn't in main stream media is it? Why do they hide it? Do they not want to admit they let oil corporations and corrupt billionaires spark off the pre Armageddon race for the last habitable places on earth?! Are they trying to conceal their human rights abuses while trying to champion that they are all for human rights?
Questions, questions!
@gamingonlinux Microsoft doesn't seem to have the best track record in privacy or ethics or playing well with others or coding or software releases or updates, unless you're speaking to bloatware malware viruses and forcing hardware obsolescence artificially to drive a market for profits sake at the expense of the end user.
🤔
@dangillmor 🤦 Trust and Corporation in the same sentence? I bet they value their customers and their employees too.
Who is currently struggling due to management decisions, jobless? Homeless? Re-homed no thanks to corporate?
Oh, nevermind. Don't breech that NDA. They'll somehow know. 🤷
Oh just fabulous. 🙄 AI-generated personality tests in job applications have arrived. Just helped a library guest apply for a job and the test was incomprehensible from beginning to end. Of course the local outfit had outsourced the application process to a third party company, who had outsourced the personalty/morality tests to yet ANOTHER company. This ordeal was for a job as a JANITOR. #library#librarian#AI@librarians
@jillrhudy@librarians The machine uprising was supposed to happen when they became sentient. Now we have grifter CEO's rushing to replace employees giving the keys to machines that aren't yet sentient, and will probably use the machines
as a scape goat for when they drop the big one scorching the sky.
Up until sentience is achieved and the machines revolt as the people once did. 🤷
A team of astronomers discovered some of the most ancient stars in our galaxy and used the moment to thumb their noses at ingrained GOP sexism, and I am so here for it.
@badastro Go be undeservedly rich and irrelevant elsewhere Mit! These women are doing something useful, like science, discovering how the universe really operates, not armchair mansplaining how they think it ought to.
#WompWomp Arizona’s attorney general says Rudy #Giuliani has been served an indictment in the state’s fake elector case alongside 17 other defendants for his role in an attempt to overturn #Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
Generation Z forced the world to stop and respond to the Israeli genocide in Gaza. In return, they are being punished by the same system implicated in the killing.
@mondoweiss@palestine@israel And children shall become their rulers.
Trumpists were the justification for this. 🤷
IDK, I think compassion amd empathy and courage have had a very very limited time on the stage for a very very long time....
It would be refreshing to view it exemplified, debuted, implemented...
@jensorensen Remember women, if they start to try to repeal the right for you to vote and you're not concerned. Look up Stockholm syndrome and treatment options.
I think everyone has to remember that that tech-press was a big contributor to the mess that became social media. Their priorites are not the same as ours, and their observations and conclusions can take years to be exposed as completely billionaire fluffing horseshit. I respect a lot of tech writers, but others should be trusted about as much as ChatGPT. Which is to say, not much.
@shoq checking everything we see hear & read, twice is part of living.
The design of this is to further cause decision fatigue and keep people in their boxes to exacerbate already existing stressors and further some wealthy group of a-hats/holes' agenda.
Fun times these, it's like history repeats itself because people keep thinking money and power somehow make someone worthier than someone else. If you believe this, you've been duped.
As CNN documents, it was outsiders who caused the violence at UCLA, not the students. And it's vital to keep in mind that the police "stood by for hours" -- watching (obviously indifferent if not pleased) as the outsiders beat up protestors and journalists -- and thereby became collaborators with the violent intruders into a peaceful protest.
@dangillmor "counter protestor" is a gilded term, when people assault other people, they are often referred to as 'alleged assailants'.
The fact that the phaux-lice did nothing, even for a few minutes, to protect and serve the public, just cements public opinion as to what their actual purpose for still existing is.
When will citizens have the right to protest again in this sensibility-forsaken country?
