The dog that was put down and the dog that hasn't barked.

From a Guardianista:

Thank you. It's as if Michael Mann (a man I otherwise admire) and others are trying to say that development in the Third World is a distraction from more important stuff.

"I was born a Kennedy, and studied the law, I am the measure of all things. I know better than any expert or specialist in their disciplines of study."
Arrant narcissism!

Unfortunately the ideological left still only sees the world in class terms. The workers are pure as freshly driven snow, the bougoisie are beyond the pale. All evidence to the contrary be damned.

Seriously people, this is unthinking paper posting! How do you plan on distributing this seawater to over a million households in Cape Town! Duplicating the existing domestic water mains? Salt-water!

Which left are you talking about? The so-called "center left" (Biden, Harris, et al), the social democratic left (Bernie Sanders, AOC, et al) or the ideological left (marxists, anarchists, who don't form part of the Usonian political discourse, so never mind)?

Thank you very much from South Africa. I have not seen such a survey for the African continent before. Very helpful. A pity you no longer do youtube content anymore, but something like this would have taken more than a year.
