This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

Only about 3 or 4 years ago, a deathly silent sitka plantation was clear felled here. Now it's thick with wild native trees, NONE of which was planted. It's already heaving with insects + birds, and will keep getting better if left alone.
THIS is how we should be bringing our forests back.

Yesterday Mark Carney was told, “Mr Carney, there’s a genocide in Palestine”.
“I’m aware,” Carney told the protester, “That’s why we have an arms embargo.”
This has really, really upset Benjamin Netanyahu, so don't RT unless you hate him.

Never forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone, including drivers.
If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone, including drivers.
INCLUDING DRIVERS.
The “war on cars” has always been a lie.
