BuzzFeed and CNN sued the U.S. government for the right to see the primary-source information that Mueller’s team didn’t disclose when it published its 448-page report in March. Justice Department lawyers say the material could run to 18 billion pages.

But, it’s just not conveeeeenient for me or my savings account, so too bad. /s
Fuck, man, that’s what it comes across like. If it interferes with someone’s ability to stripmine the world for profit, people react like they are being deprived of their most basic human rights. Rich fuckers’ comfort, convenience and profit VS human life just makes me wish the Day of the Guillotine gets here soon. Otherwise, we’re all more or less fucked.

Fun fact: a colleague of mine will be visiting home (India) soon. He asked his mum if there was anything she wanted from Canada for him to bring with him.
She gave him a list, but told him not to buy anything with one-use plastic in the packaging. Which around here means mostly don’t get anything.
Point being, the tide is turning. Just not fast enough.

The first time I went back to my birth country to visit, I was 16. At that time, there were no plastic soda bottles, everything was glass with deposit. Because many people were/are quite poor, the shops would pour your coke or fanta into a plastic baggie, and add a straw, so you could take it away without having to pay for the bottle. I also bought ice cream the same way in a baggie, from a lady’s front room where she ran the most humble ice cream place ever, but it was sweet and cold and wonderful.
When I lived there for a year, when I was 21-22, all that was gone, and there were plastic bottles fucking everywhere. It was super demoralizing. At least some of the modest front-room shops persisted, and they exist to this day in rural areas.

The writers on this timeline just put 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World into a blender with half a cumsatined 70s Penthouse and gave us this.

Say what you will about Brave New World, that society tries to keep people happy, if shallowly so; this one is more interested in keeping the wrong people from any kind of happiness.
