.@Nestle Doesn't Deserve Your Hard-Earned Money: a thread
They have been offered a 3 year permit to continue pumping water out of the #SanBernardino National Forest—one of the worst drought regions in the world. In 2016, Nestle took 32 million gallons of water from wells and tunnels in the forest. latimes.com/business/la-fi…
.@Nestle—who continues to market itself as "sustainable"—has failed to submit its report on the "sustainability" of the #conflictpalmoil they use in their products. reuters.com/article/us-nes…
The food company has similarly failed to take action on the tragic loss of forested areas in Sumatra. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Several years ago, Nestle admitted to forced labor in their seafood supply chain. theguardian.com/global-develop…
@Nestle, along with @Hersheys, tried to bid for the dismissal of a case citing they should have to label the products that come from West African areas known for using forced child labor. law360.com/articles/10540…
This, of course, follows allegations that Nestle uses child labor in the production of their chocolate. confectionerynews.com/Article/2018/0…
And despite coming under fire DECADES AGO for their unethical and potentially fatal marketing of #BabyFormula, @Nestle is making headlines AGAIN for questionable practices when it comes to distributing the company's baby milk products across the world. businesslive.co.za/bd/companies/r…
In #Kenya, @Nestle owns a disproportionate of the coffee roasting market (along w/ @Kraft, @ProcterGamble, and @SaraLeeDesserts) and has contributed to the lack of negotiating power for actual Kenyan coffee growers. dailycoffeenews.com/2018/06/25/auc…
From #WaterRights, to #PalmOil & #deforestation, to #InfantFormula & child #slavery, it is clear that @Nestle doesn't care about the little guy — no matter how much money it pumps into a chipper PR strategy. The best way to fight this level of corporate power is to #BoycottNestle
Commit to the #NestlePledge and stand with the THOUSANDS (if not millions) of people that #BoycottNestle. lakotalaw.org/nestlepledge

#VoterSuppression
Say you live on #StandingRock on the ND side. You have kids, a job, you're a busy, functional, modern day Native American — but where you live doesn't have a street address, & you've never needed one as you have PO box.

Now, North Dakota says you can't vote.
But surely, you think, there's a way around it, right? There is. You first have to call your district's coordinator (but remember, not all districts are the same). You may have to call around. You finally get ahold of someone. You describe, in detail, where your house is.
The coordinator assigns you an address that you can use on your voter registration. But they need to give you a confirmation letter for the address (we don't know if they mail it or give it to you right away, that is unclear). You then can use the address on your documents.

For some of us, too, it /IS/ all men, or has BECOME all men. Saying “Not All Men,” then, is telling us our experience isn’t real, which— fun fact— makes you one of those men.

Instead — 👏🏼 ACTIONABLE ADVICE AHEAD 👏🏼 (thread)
Apologize for your gender (leave the part where you blame society for how you’re socialized until later— she may even bring it up herself! We know!), thereby acknowledging & validating her experience, and ask yourself or even her (!) How can I make THIS experience better?

E.g.
Hang on, I have to get a beer.

And dinner— it’s not /just/ bc of this thread! 🤣

1. Another way to look at it- NSE was one of best-performing markets IN THE WORLD in 2017.

But 2018 has been generally bad for EMs around the world, in part because US has been raising rates. As of Oct: China down 13%, India 10%, S/Africa 25%, Argentina 23%, Brazil 17%.

2. Very convenient to quote $ valuation without accounting for a currency devaluation, LOL. Account for the devaluation & your argument becomes considerably weaker

3. A lot of what Nigeria is going through is by no means unique - in fact by EM standards we doing better than many
4. On a lighter note, @ChikeMustafa, what you’re doing with this tweet is trying to use dry bread to soak up our hard-earned stew, LOL. We will not take it 😀

#New Traders, Understand #Mathematics Of #Profit In Market Before You Put Hard #Earned Money On Risk.

Expectancy = Success Rate x Reward Risk Ratio

Lets Talk About Expectancy Of Short Term Directional Trading System.

Read On (1/n)
Success Rate = No Of Profitable Tades/ No Of Loss Making Trades

Reward Risk Ratio = Average Profit Per Trade / Average Loss Per Trade

If Success Rate is 0.5 and Reward Risk 2, Then

Expectancy = 2 x 0.5 =1

For Making Profit, Expectancy Should Be Positive Number (2/n)
To Calculate Expectancy, You Need Defined System With Rules To Get Success Rate and Reward Risk. If You Have No System To Take Decisions, You Are Hanging In Thin Air and Will Never No Whether You Will Keep Making Or Loosing Money In Future (3/n)

Tragically what the #CorruptGOP doesn't seem to get is that because they are not dealing in facts, & they are propagating falsehoods to their base, an entire generation of Republican voters, workers, apparachik's at every level; the U.S.A. loses ultimately. There are
People basing real decisions, at real jobs- both public & private sector-on false information. We have the most powerful military, biggest Economy, in the most industrialized nation in the world making Domestic & Foreign Policy based on fasle information.
This can & will end only one of two ways. Either we reverse course before catastrophic consequence or we experience what could be the most catastrophic multi-national event that has occurred since WW2 & the most grave consequences since our Nation's inception nearly 300 yrs ago.

Thread:

I am really incensed today about the needless attacks on @MichaelAvenatti as a trial lawyer, not because I'm in his camp for POTUS (I am uncommitted), but because I WAS a trial lawyer. People seem to forget that trial lawyers are responsible for the following:

1/x
-Getting recompense for tens of thousands of people poisoned by asbestos, who were dying deaths where they were basically suffocated from the inside out;

-Getting billions of dollars out of the cigarette industry to pay back states for healthcare costs from lung cancer;

2/x
-Holding drug companies accountable for patent frauds that shoot the price of prescription drugs through the roof;

-Litigating critical civil rights cases on school desegregation, gay marriage, equal pay (including at places from WalMart to Wall Street) all the way to SCT;

3/x
