Or, perhaps…..

That case made her a target of local politics, but it also gave her something invaluable: the ability to turn frustration into organizing power. Her latest lawsuit against the school board wasn’t simply about procedure, but questioned who gets to decide the future. Is it the people who live there or the corporations that profit from polluting it?

The people who gain from what is produced by the corporations?

Anyway, fun isn’t it? At The G the answer there is obvious – the locals should decide. But when it’s immigration of course it’s not the locals who should decide. Which is fun, no?

One of the great mysteries of the 21st Century. Why the Left, the Party of the People want the People to be raped, murdered and tortured by primitives from the 3rd world.
Could it be that the People are just a convenient fiction?

Every “man of the people” I’ve ever met or heard about seems to be a miserable misanthrope when it comes to dealing with actual people.

So, yes that seems likely.

So after decades of the strictest pollution controls the world has ever seen, the problem is as bad as ever. Hmmm.

Sorries. I don’t care what a Shilpi Chhotray thinks about Texas shrimpers.

When ExxonMobil announced it would “slow the pace of development” on a $10bn plastics plant along the Texas Gulf coast, the company blamed market conditions. But it wasn’t just the market applying pressure; it was a 77-year-old shrimper named Diane Wilson who refused to stay silent. Her fight exposes big oil’s latest survival plan: ramping up oil and gas production to create plastic.

Riddle me this, Guardian: Who did it help?

I first met Wilson back in 2019 while tracking her historic [?] lawsuit against Formosa Plastics, the Taiwanese petrochemical giant accused of dumping toxic plastic waste throughout coastal Texas. Billions of tiny plastic pellets were contaminating waterways, shorelines and even the soil itself.

An appeal to pity? WTF does this have to do with ExxonMobil?

As gasoline demand declines

A small suggestion Mr Gamecock. No doubt you like using your bits of cod Latin, but bear in mind; I may have had the misfortune to have suffered Latin at school but the numbers who have been tortured likewise over the past few decades have dwindled towards insignificance. If you wish to be widely understood, stick to English.

What these people never grasp, apart from how useful plastics are, is that things will just move. Formosa will never set up any business in your county again.
