Deutsche Bahn boss Richard Lutz demands obligatory go-arounds for aircraft to achieve train parity.
"Aircraft in Germany must be delayed in flight at least by 20 minutes to make trains more attractive for passengers" he said during Tagesschau interview.
"Trains with their considerably lower operating costs simply cannot compete with heavily taxed air travel." he further explained.
He’d know.

A simple recap of what most Americans want:
* Full healthcare for everyone
* Universal basic income
* Equal and fair justice
* Civil public libraries for everyone
* To not live in fear
* For everything to not cost so much
* To not have to work until they die
People don’t care who makes this happen or how it comes to pass — only that it does.

Next Saturday could see a mass demonstration against the proscription of Palestine Action with the Metropolitan Police warning they will make mass arrests of people in breach of the Terrorism Act's prohibition of any support for a proscribed organisation.
If the numbers that are expected turn up this will push PA proscription arrests over 1000 & will further demonstrate Yvette Cooper's anti-democratic credentials.

Is the Country and the World ready for the next #space #disaster from either #SpaceX or #BlueOrigin? Putting humans atop giant roman candles and hurdling them off into space is hard, and it is dangerous, and the fact that neither of these Companies has lost a life yet doesn't mean they won't tomorrow (or the next day).
Complacency is a cancer, and we (the collective us) have become complacent, just assuming that SpaceX builds perfect launching machines.
A disaster is coming. I don't know when, but I do know when it happens lives will be lost and lives will be changed.
I hope we're ready. #SpaceTravel #NASA #astronauts
A pair of #JeffreyEpstein’s victims blasted the #Trump admin & the #DOJ for their attempts to unseal grand jury testimony in the #criminal case against the late financier, saying govt officials haven’t listened to the voices of people who were harmed by his actions.
The 2 victims, who weren’t identified, asked in separate letters filed in a Manhattan court Monday, that any files related to Epstein be reviewed to protect their privacy….

Bloomberg News reported last week that the #FBI redacted Trump’s name & those of other high-profile individuals from govt files related to #JeffreyEpstein, citing 3 people familiar w/the matter….The names were withheld under privacy protections because those individuals, including #Trump, were private citizens when the federal investigation into #Epstein began in 2006, the people said.

Another *victim asked Berman to have a third party review any documents to ensure no victims’ names or likenesses are revealed through the process, saying that it appeared the #DOJ’s priority is to protect “wealthy men.”
“To learn that our own president has utilized thousands of agents to protect his identity & these high-profile individuals is monumentally mind-blowing,” the victim wrote. “That is their focus? Wow!”

One of the most effective misinformation tactics antivaxxers use is to quote legitimate news sources out-of-context in order to convey a biased narrative.
Studies suggest that news editors often contribute to this problem by publishing clickbait headlines that are easily weaponized by antivaxxers.
"Top health expert says vaccinated people are spreading Covid variant" is a headline that was often used by major outlets.
The full context in the article was: "Data shows that vaccines reduce transmission. However, some experts warn that vaccinated individuals may still be capable of contracting & transmitting Covid."

if modern slavery is enforced on us by things like surveillance cameras, cellphone addiction, drugs, dna manipulation, school indoctrination and oppression
we can free ourselves by attacking each one of these elements
surveillance cameras can be physically destroyed our outsmarted by masks, etc
we attack cellphone addiction by going onto cellphones, advising users
avoid drugs, esp "meds"
dna manipulation is avoided by rejecting vaccines
school indoctrination is addressed by home schooling

We give thanks to you, God.
We give thanks, for your Name is near.
Men tell about your wondrous works.
For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation.
But God is the judge.
He puts down one, and lifts up another.
But I will declare this forever:
I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
I will cut off all the horns of the wicked, but the horns of the righteous shall be lifted up.
