I have heard many people in the water industry and indeed some in government repeating the lie, why I wonder?

Of the £91 billion being spent by water companies over the next 5 years £90 billion of it, that's 99% it is being funded directly from bill payers pockets, from your bank account and mine, not shareholders.

Which raises the obvious question, what actually is the point of the shareholders, why do we need them?

🚨Edward Snowden’s Ominous Warning to the World

These Programs, Mass Surveillance is NOT About Public Safety. It is not about terrorism. It is about power.

It is about economic espionage. It is about diplomatic manipulation. And it is about social influence.

It is about understanding the actions of everyone in the world as carefully as they can, no matter who they are, no matter how innocent their life.

But we see how these same technologies are being applied to create what they call the social credit system.

If any of these family photos,if any of your activities online, if your purchases, if your associations, if your friends are in any way different from what the government or the powers that be of the moment would like them to be, you're no longer able to purchase train tickets.

You're no longer able to board an airplane.

You may not be able to get a passport.

You may not be eligible for a job.

You might not be able to work for the government.

All of these things are increasingly being created and programmed and decided by algorithms.

And those algorithms are fueled by precisely the innocent data that our devices are creating all of the time, constantly, invisibly, quietly, right now.

Our devices are casting all of these records that we do not see being created that in aggregate seem very innocent.

You were at Starbucks at this time.

You went to the hospital afterwards.

You spent a long time at the hospital.

After you left the hospital, you made a phone call.

You made a phone call to your mother.

You talked to her until the middle of the night.

The hospital was an oncology clinic.

Even if you can't see the content of these communications, the activity records, what the government calls metadata, which they argue they do not need a warrant to collect, tells the whole story.

And these activity records are being created and shared and collected and intercepted constantly by companies and governments.

And ultimately, it means as they sell these, as they trade these, as they make their businesses on the backs of these records, what they are selling is not information.

What they are selling is us.

They're selling our future.

They're selling our past.

They are selling our history, our identity.

They are stealing our power and making our stories work for them.

Paradoxical Frog allstar trio—@krisdavismusic Ingrid Laubrock @tdrumr41—“Slow Burn”-ed another intense, sold out set @vanguardjazz. The Sorey-penned, self-explanatory, multi-movement composition could in itself have been set-length. Kudos to the venue for another unique, stellar booking. Folks: Don’t miss this “show of the year” candidate (thru Sunday)…

🚨 WHO GAVE NATO THE RIGHT TO KILL MUAMMAR GADDAFI? 🇱🇾

They bombed Libya in 2011 under a fake "no fly zone" lie. Destroyed Africa's richest nation with free healthcare, education, and the Great Man Made River. Turned it into a slave market.

Gaddafi warned them. They murdered him anyway.

Pure resource grab. NATO war crimes.

Africa remembers.

🚨 Se viraliza video de manifestantes lanzando insultos contra el presidente Abelardo de la Espriella.

Un grupo de jóvenes salió a marchar mientras entonaba arengas y consignas en contra del mandatario. En el video, que circula ampliamente en redes sociales, se escucha a varios manifestantes gritar: “Abelardo nos robaste la votación” y proferir otros insultos.

Las imágenes han generado todo tipo de reacciones y un fuerte debate entre quienes respaldan la protesta y quienes rechazan el tono de las consignas.

Del primer a l'últim!

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States.

Not gambling. Not reckless spending. Not the moral failures that the rhetoric of personal responsibility loves to invoke.

Getting sick.

The leading cause of financial ruin in the wealthiest country in human history is the biological inevitability of the human body breaking down.

This happens nowhere else in the developed world.

In no other wealthy nation does a person survive cancer and then spend a decade paying for the survival.

In no other wealthy nation does a grandmother choose between insulin and rent.

In no other wealthy nation is the question "can I afford to call an ambulance" a question a person has to genuinely ask.

This is not an accident of policy.

This is the policy.

The extraction is the point.

The debt is the product.

The sick person is the raw material.

The Senegal delegation was subjected to racist and humiliating treatment in the United States, where they arrived for the #2026WorldCup.

They were forced to remove their shoes, their bags were searched far more extensively than those of other teams, and they were humiliated by airport staff.

@FIFAcom is the main party responsible for this disgraceful situation.
