Unsustainable natural gas prices spiking in Europe… it’s not even winter yet. Leaders are expressing real angst over the ability to adequately heat homes soon. Fertilizers next year, meat processing, and carbonated soft drinks also affected. Green alternatives?
BOOSTERS URGENTLY—Singapore wave spiking so hard that 50% of all hospitalizations & 32% of all #COVID19 deaths are breakthroughs—all while 98% cases asymptomatic or mild & 83% of 🇸🇬 population is 2-dose vaccinated. Vaccines work—but #DeltaVariant is risky! moh.gov.sg/news-highlight…
2) Vaccines work? Absolutely! 98.3% mild or asymptomatic. But is #DeltaVariant so severe that it can still send the rest of the 1.7% to the hospital.
3) There are currently 247 cases requiring oxygen supplementation, and 34 in the ICU. Of those who have fallen very ill, 235 are seniors above 60 years. hence why elderly need boosters.
📍REMINDER—Facebook concocted a scheme to “park profits” offshore in Ireland, where FB would “pay a tax rate near zero” using a Cayman Island subsidiary—together shifting at least $19 BILLION in profits offshore. All to save puppies—joking, all for profit. propublica.org/article/whos-a…
2) worse—globally, Amazon, Facebook and other tech giants paid almost $100B less in taxes than they claimed. Nonprofit report says six Big Tech companies exploited global rules to pay just 3.6% of revenues in income taxes. ➡️ all for puppies 🐶 again? No. salon.com/2021/06/01/ama…
3) “Facebook, over and over again, has shown it chooses profit over safety”said Facebook whistleblower #FrancesHaugen. “How many more years of Zuckerberg’s ‘apologies’ can our democracy endure before action is taken?” asks @FBoversight
CARBON CHEATING—Climate offsets are basically a way to cheat with carbon pollution. Big corporations and fossil fuel industry use “net-zero" arguments to get away with pollution. Don’t fall for it. Watch and read🧵
2) The world has by and large adopted “net zero by 2050” as its de facto climate goal, but two fatal flaws hide in plain sight within those 16 characters. One is “net zero.” The other is “by 2050”.
3) These two flaws provide cover for big oil and politicians who wish to preserve the status quo. Together they comprise a deadly prescription for inaction and catastrophically high levels of irreversible climate and ecological breakdown.
📍HORRID—Nurse not only stole & sold #COVID19 vaccination cards—Bethann Kierczak was even responsible for administering vaccines at the hospital—yet she sold cards for $150-$200, & even **stole the lot (batch) numbers** to make fraud hard to detect. 🧵 theguardian.com/us-news/2021/o…
2) According to the DOJ criminal complaint, Kierczak operated her alleged scheme for more than four months, selling the cards for $150 to $200 each via Facebook Messenger.
3) “Tell him I charge $150 for these, so he owes you a favor,” Kierczak allegedly wrote, along with a laughing emoji.
On 12 August, Michigan police and the Department of Veterans Affairs notified federal authorities of a tip concerning Kierczak. wvpe.org/post/feds-detr…
2) considering I have FB pages with 5 million+ followers… FB crashing and burning doesn’t even make me feel bad. I haven’t used my FB pages in a long time out of principle.
3) I honestly wouldn’t shed a tear 😢 losing my mega FB pages if FB imploded — especially if it would mean stopping all the dangerous disinformation and misinformation on FB that are killing people during the pandemic and destroying democracy! #Facebook
📍Pregnancy & #COVID19—“The #DeltaVariant in unvaccinated pregnant patients is one of the most horrifying disease processes I’ve ever seen. My heart is broken. Families are grieving. ➡️Moms are never meeting their babies”—Find our humanity to #vaccinate 🧵 scientificamerican.com/article/pregna…
2) “She was having trouble getting a full breath. That was the first thing. The day before, Autumn Carver, seven months pregnant with her third child, had enjoyed a CrossFit class. Now a simple cough was compounded by the breathing issues, which rapidly worsened.”
3) “It wasn’t long before her husband took Autumn to Community Hospital South and then began a series of heartbreaking Facebook updates.
As COVID-19 began to ravage Autumn’s system, the 34-year-old’s condition deteriorated with dizzying speed. facebook.com/593968021/post…
