#Orwell wrote about the #JustTransition in 1947 ("Toward European Unity"):
«The European peoples, and especially the British, have long owed their high standard of life to direct or indirect exploitation of the coloured peoples. [...] But it is by no means certain that we can afford these th…

Interesting and fulsome interview on exactly how NORAD reacted to the plane hijacking in Victoria/Vancouver on Tuesday. They speak to the commander of NORAD, currently a Canadian.
I appreciated the last section most though:
“It's the only bi-national command in the world; it's been a strong bi-national command since 1958, and nothing has changed.
We don't ever talk politics at work. It's not something that we do, nor does it affect what we do.
I would say that we are as tight, and probably tighter than we've ever been. As the world around us gets to be more dangerous, I would say that NORAD is even closer than it's ever been.
But one last thing — we have the watch. That's the slogan here for NORAD.
To give you a great example, all of the assessors, we all live on-base in homes that actually have a safe, we call it the SCIF. It's basically a classified room that has all of our systems. The days that you're on duty, you're either at work or in your house. Because the timelines are so small for answering the phone, you don't walk the dog; you don't do all these other things, and someone covers for you when you're going between work and home.
That's how important this mission is to us down here. It's really important for everybody in Canada to know that at NORAD, we have the watch”

Diese Befragten sind ja auch Eltern, also Erziehungsberechtigte von Kindern. Die sorgen dann doch sicher dafür, dass ihre eigenen Kinder bereits jetzt kein SocialMedia verwenden. Es ist technisch garnich…
