Clickbaity headline

It’s not though - is it?

Literally the first line of the article expands on it:

  • “Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Nato leaders of showing disrespect to Ukraine by refusing to offer it a timetable for when it will be invited to join the military alliance”*

Yeah it’s strange to see advertising like this on public buses for arming a country and essentially putting politics of warfare on buses so openly.

One finds a similar dynamic in the West’s support for Ukraine. We turn a blind eye to the fact that a domestic clique of oligarchs will likely emerge as the biggest winner of the Ukrainian struggle. Yet we should not be surprised if post-war Ukraine turns out similar to pre-war Ukraine, a place corrupted by oligarchy and colonized by big Western corporations that control the best land and natural resources. While we make our own sacrifices for the war effort, we fail to see that the gains will be appropriated by others, just like the drunkard who mistakes another man’s feet for his own – perhaps because, deep down, he does not want to acknowledge the truth.

Interesting article overall but disagree with the conclusion that we need to oppose the “left-right populism”.

Yikes. No it’s not good to see a human being “getting cooked”.

Yup, the community here and now this brilliant app as a start is pretty amazing. To get something so functional already in just a couple of weeks is nothing short of great.

That is such a cool way to present energy use in your house. Even a child would understand something like this. Would love a breakdown like this for my house.

Whoa that’s an image? I thought that was a whole article. That’s such a clever way to bypass paywalls and ads.
