Poverty in Afghanistan is pushing children to work at brick kilns to keep food on the table.

20 Years of disgusting occupation by #US and NATO trillions of dollars and #Euro spent on military operations and corrupt politicians in Afghanistan, and the country is worse off than it was during the #socialist government of #Taraki or #Najibullah.

#Afghanistan is the shame of the #NATO and western world, 50 years of interventions to destroy a social democratic movement and turn the country into a #Taliban ridden shit hole with mini talibans in charge of those so called "liberated regions".

MaxQ ABORT! - Blue Origin's New Shepard Has Fiery Engine Failure In Flight

tl;dr: Capsule separated with the emergency motor, got a nice quick speed/ascent boost into the thickest air which slowed it down rapidly for a more or less regular descent and recovery.... Booster is presumed lost somewhere in the desert, probably tumbling while coming down..

There Won't Be Any Winners Because The Status Quo Is Corrupt Everywhere

July 27, 2022

Systemic corruption on this vast scale optimizes failure and collapse.

Debating which nations will "win" as the global economy unravels is a popular but pointless parlor game. Since the status quo in every nation is deeply, profoundly, systemically corrupt, there won't be any "winners," there will only be losers.

Apologists love to say that corruption has always come hand-in-hand with power, and this is superficially true. Once a centralized hierarchy takes power, those seeking self-glorification and wealth seek power as a means to their self-enrichment and glorification.

A glimpse into the future of #humanity. In the end, we will only be left with a completely ruined #infrastructure. But we are complaining at a high level here. A large part of humanity is already on the run and fighting for bare #survival. It is damn cynical that some still distinguish between #war, economic and #climate #refugees.

#Mankind has failed after #WorldWar II to create a peaceful #world where #prosperity is fairly distributed. Even now that the problems of this #failure are obvious, the only reaction is more armament #budget. I already know that more #weapons will not solve our #crisis.

China-3, USA-0 ~ Beijing inflicts a severe economic defeat on America

https://www.toronto99.com/2022/02/15/china-3-usa-0-beijing-inflicts-a-severe-economic-defeat-on-america/

There is no mystery regarding the reasons for this #US #failure. Paradoxically, the world’s supposed “number one #capitalist #economy” is now actually creating very little #capital. Instead, the US has become an economy overwhelmingly dominated by #consumption. New figures show that on #trade, #economic #growth and #inflation, #China’s comprehensively come out on top and #US #sanctions have #failed miserably.

A quotation by Gaiman, Neil

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.

Make your mistakes, next year and forever.

Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) British fabulist
