Good Idea: Change to a climate friendly Bank this weekend
https://www.not-ship.com/banks-are-funding-climate-chaos-you-dont-have-to-2/
Your bank might be doing more damage to the climate than flying. In 2024, banks poured $869 billion into the fossil fuel industry, a huge jump from the year before, funding the companies building pipelines and drilling for oil around the world. A major banking alliance that had committed members to move away from financing high-emission sectors fell apart last year when nearly every top fossil-fuel-funding bank pulled out.
According to a report by Project Drawdown, banking with a carbon-intensive U.S. bank means you could be indirectly lending 20 to 30 percent of your money to the industries most responsible for the climate crisis. The carbon footprint of where you keep your cash can actually outweigh the impact of flying. The good news is that switching matters. Moving just $8,000 from a high-carbon bank to a low-carbon one can cut your personal emissions by twice as much as going vegetarian.

Banks are funding climate chaos. You don't have to.
Switching banks could be one of the most climate-friendly decisions you make.

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!
Bosses, landlords, and billionaires steal from us continuously. It's not just wage theft—they've robbed us of the entire world, reducing everything to private property, commodities, or wreckage.
Snatching back what we can is fair play.

"Does your boss work less than you but take home a bigger paycheck? Is someone flying around in a private jet at your expense? If they profit while you struggle to make ends meet, they’re not paying you the full value of your labor.
"So if you need something in the workplace—take it. You earned it!"
In 2026, as underpaid workers burn down warehouses and carry out direct attacks on their employers, Steal Something from Work Day is the moderate option.

Lebensmittelkonzerne warnen vor steigenden Preisen infolge des Irankriegs. Doch der Verdacht liegt nahe, dass sie, wie beim Ukrainekrieg, die Inflationserwartung in der Bevölkerung ausnutzen, um Übergewinne zu erzielen.

Wenn Lebensmittelpreise steigen, muss man ganz genau hinschauen

The Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, is out with a major new research study showing that immigrants, both legal and illegal, contribute significantly more in taxes than they receive in public benefits.
And there's more: because immigrants (both legal and not) are such large net-contributors of tax revenue, they also structurally reduce government budget deficits.

The study finds that immigrants reduced the U.S. debt by nearly a third — or $14.5 trillion — from 1994 to 2023.
