Geez it stinks in here, did someone fart? Oh right... it's politics.
Bingo.So I read that China produces 6 times the pollution output than the whole western world does combined. Yet they are "given" a pass in the Paris Accords because they are a "developing" country. Excuse me? They have a space program, nuclear weapons, bullet trains and stealth technology. Time for a worldwide embargo of China until they get that carbon number down.
when I was a kid a lot of stuff was "Made in Japan". Now it's all "Made in China" . I suspect in ten years it will be "Made in India" or Viet Nam or somewhere where people can live on a dollar a day.Agreed.
LOL yep.
Yeah, it sucks. I remember when the kids were small we always bought Canadian made clothing whenever we could. If we couldn't we'd buy US and if we couldn't we'd go for Mexico. As time went on there was less and less available to the point where finally we couldn't keep to North American at all.
I agree that China is a massive polluter, but not that it's an untold story or that it's an elephant somehow hiding in the room...This is the great untold story. Everyone just ignores the elephant in the room.
And this is why Thunberg's jeers and sneers against world leaders are not really aimed at them. She knows they won't actually listen to her, even though some may pretend to. She is really speaking to her own audience - mostly young people who are or soon will be voters. And in that way, I think she has a very big influence.
I actually like the idea of professional politicians getting to sit down and listen to her stuff through a translator for 3 hours.She is seen, by anyone with any influence at all on global politics, as just a child, a loud, annoying child, which is what she actually is, IMO. She got her five minutes of fame. Do you think China gives two shits about Greta Thunberg's histrionics?

Why you have to take away my vision.They will get, at most, a three minute synopsis.

I wouldn't begrudge them a longer session.
Nothing wrong with working 40 hours a week, You can't expect the state to keep bailing people out because they can't afford things, what ever people think about rich people a lot of them started big companies making jobs so they can support them selves and there families, of course that's the general idea and the way of life,...and just maybe this generation have a point, that there's more to life than working 40 a hours a week (-- that was an invention of the industrial revolution -- was orginally even wores before workers unions came along) until you fall over dead for some corporation and enriching some billionaire 1 percenter... (because with the future gig economy, automation etc, very few are going to be able to retire comfortable in future)
As a 40hour worker myself I've learned that in countries like Finland the workweek is significantly shorter, as well as the amount of hours spend at school daily, doesn't necessarily mean they are less productive or learn less. Especially on the latter it seems the contrary.Nothing wrong with working 40 hours a week, You can't expect the state to keep bailing people out because they can't afford things, what ever people think about rich people a lot of them started big companies making jobs so they can support them selves and there families, of course that's the general idea and the way of life,

That's why we all should be working, with overtime if needed .....I don't want to work... I mean I'd like to flounce through life playing games and fannying about on YouTube .. but... there's bills to be paid.
