From the year I became an entrepreneur in 1984 until I moved into another line of work (environmental sustainability) in 2009, I’m guessing that my company (initially I myself) hired, say, 300 people. My policy was always: if two candidates for a position are roughly equally capable, and one is a white male and the other is a minority, hire the latter over the former.
I have always wanted to do my part to make our world a better, more inclusive place to live.
The notion that our civilization is falling apart because of anticapitalist wokeism is appealing to hateful white supremacist idiots, but few people beyond those limits.
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
As shown at left, it’s possible to use helium ballons to lift a wind turbine high into the troposphere, where wind currents are stronger and more stable than they are near the Earth’s surface. Experiments with such devices have been being conducted since long before 2GreenEnergy came on the scene in 2009.
There are intrinsic limitations to this approach, however. Long tethers can run afoul of aviation, and they face extreme stress and operational complexity. Translation: huge costs, which is why we don’t see these in commercial use.
Did China test one of these? Probably. About 20 years ago.
I’m sure there are tens of millions of idiots who believe what U.S. House Speaker Mark Johnson said at left. Yet the majority of Americans understand that:
ICE is a lawless institution.
Trump consistently violates the Constitution by usurping the power that should reside in congress.
Our illegal war in Iran is endangering the entire planet, as is our war on clean energy.
Violent crime has been falling steadily since the early 1990s; Republicans taking credit for it is a lie.
Causing (some) voters to believe the lie that our elections are rigged endangers our democracy. So is voter suppression.
Committing war crimes like the bombing of small boats off the coast of Venezuela helps to create a lawless world.
