"In 1990, 943 million people [in China] lived on less than $3 a day measured in 2021 dollars – 83% of the population, according to the World Bank. By 2019, the number was brought down to zero. Unfortunately, the United States was not as successful. More than 4 million Americans – 1.25% of the population – must make ends meet with less than $3 a day, more than three times as many as 35 years ago."

The suicidal insanity of non-stop growth
Air, water and land are polluted and degraded as the climate heats to catastrophic levels, yet we continue to burn fossil fuels and devastate carbon sinks.
It’s malignant. It’s suicidal. And it’s unfair. The obscenely wealthy hoard money and resources, amassing billions of dollars, luxury yachts, mansions and private jets while others starve and struggle to survive.

More piracy from the rogue failed state, USA.
Even the European lackies are maintaining a distance from this unpredictable imperialist aggression.

VILA: Not too close. The gap is all connected with the thickness of the door. So what's the difference between Seskas and Hommiks?
PELLA: How do you know how thick it is?
VILA: By the stress pattern.

Unstoppable renewable energy revolution powers on
There’s good news and bad news on the climate front. Unfortunately, the bad news is horrific, as accelerating extreme weather-related events and other unfolding climate catastrophes show. But there are signs of hope. We just have to stop dragging our feet.
