More on the #recession , #france have raised #retirement to 64, causing #protests https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/france.. They should think themselves lucky, in the #uk it is *68* - the #nhs is so shit most of us won't reach that age. We will literally #die standing on our feet. No idea why we bother paying into #pension , at this point it just feels like another #tax .
#apple beginning to #reconsider their ties with #china 's #ccp after they #blamed #apple for the #widespread #riots and #protests against #zero #covid on them: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/a.. Not a great atmosphere in #china right now.
The #uk is annoyingly #weak on #climate #activist #protests https://youtube.com/watch?v=lQM5pLbsNns We should be doing what the #french are doing... These people are absolutely mad.
For the #protests #yesterday across the #uk were for insane #fuel #prices , where the people are asking for #tax cuts: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. Essentially they are asking to be able to #purchase #fuel in order to #drive to #work , to ultimately #stimulate the #economy . The #uk #government needs to figure out how to #reduce the #cost .
And so the first real #domino starts to fall as #protests erupt in the #middleeast over massively increasing #food #prices https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/arab-s.. All of these #sanctions have a *massive* #impact on net #importers of these foods. Very bad times ahead.

It would have made tonnes more sense for example to have leaked the #covid #virus #abroad rather than next to their own #wuhan #lab of #virology ! As #canada is aware, they are hardly above #transporting (and #stealing ) #lab #samples !*Woah* - it appears as though #omicron may have #evolved in a #lab https://bprice.substack.com/p/lab-leak-2.. It's #genetically *very* different from all other #covid #variants #strains and it there are #biomarkers for #mice in the #rna ... Oh shit.
I have been hearing about large #protests in the #eu - although the #news is not making its way onto #socialmedia or into #mainstream #media https://youtube.com/watch?v=qj24QWrYxhE They have renewed #covid #lockdowns and I hear a lot more about #vaccine #passports (something I am also quite annoyed with). #vaccinations are not *compulsory* - insanity.
I'm not #suggesting #facebook did anything wrong on January 6th and the #capitol #protests - but if you're going to insist that #parler or #gab were somewhat #responsible - then let it be known that these people #organized on #facebook and #twitter ! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/..
I support the #french #protests in their push against a #healthpass - i.e. a #vaccinepassport https://www.lotuseaters.com/protests-int.. You should *not* be made to take the #covid #vaccine and you should not be #discriminated against based on your #health . I really hope #macron switches direction in #france to favour #freedom over #virus #metrics !
Looks like #cube is undergoing some #censorship due to some #antigovernment #protests https://twitter.com/dougmadory/status/14.. Oops.
Well *no shit* - #police in the #us #quit when the #blm #protests and #riots were going down: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/11/us/po.. The irony of the situation is, if you speak to *real* black people running black businesses and upstanding members of the black community, what they really want is *more* police.
