Mexico’s demolition derby picks up speed
As Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) continues to fail on all fronts, his mistakes are leading to a huge cost in human lives due to his inept handling of the pandemic. His refusal to mitigate the collapse of the economy with conventional economic tools is making matters worse and his behavior has become increasingly irrational.
China the world’s bad guy, says FBI boss Wray
FBI Director Christopher Wray didn’t hold back during an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday. He described China’s Communist government as the biggest threat to the US and the world — revealing his agency has more than 2,000 active investigations which trace back to the “shadowy regime,” the New York Post reported. In an interview, Wray revealed there had been a startling 1,300% increase in espionage investigations into the Chinese region in the past decade and said the party was actively spying on Fortune 100 companies and trying to influence US politics.

The information in this article may be very unreliable - C. S.
Firstly, it was wrong to claim that this virus was novel. Secondly, It was even more wrong to claim that the population would not already have some immunity against this virus. Thirdly, it was the crowning of stupidity to claim that someone could have Covid-19 without any symptoms at all or even to pass the disease along without showing any symptoms whatsoever.

LEFT BIAS, HIGH, magazine in New YorkWhat Facebook and the Oil Industry Have in Common
For decades, people have asked me why the oil companies don’t just become solar companies. They don’t for the same reason that Facebook doesn’t behave decently: an oil company’s core business is digging stuff up and burning it, just as Facebook’s is to keep people glued to their screens. Digging and burning is all that oil companies know how to do—and why the industry has spent the past thirty years building a disinformation machine to stall action on climate change. It’s why—with the evidence of climate destruction growing by the day—the best that any of them can offer are vague pronouncements about getting to “net zero by 2050”—which is another way of saying, “We’re not going to change much of anything anytime soon.” (The American giants, like ExxonMobil, won’t even do that.)

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation on Wednesday that would penalize banks doing business with Chinese officials who implement Beijing’s draconian new national security law imposed on the former British colony of Hong Kong. China responded by saying the United States should stop interfering in Hong Kong affairs and warned that it would “resolutely and forcefully resist”.
