I've signed this, it takes up a minute of your life at most to sign, but deportation could take the rest of this man's life away from him for a crime he didn't commit, but was prosecuted for under legislation that was deemed prejudicial and was removed from law.

@DwhiteForester@davethedjclark@ArtCrunchy Not sure who the little guy is in normal shorting or how lender would get fee from them. The HFs are betting against the lender (for stock price to go down, whereas lender wants it stable or go up). LGs in current situation are making price go up, screwing the hedge funders.
@DwhiteForester@davethedjclark@ArtCrunchy Not sure what you mean, I think, and this could be very wrong, most lenders are long term investors looking to shake a little extra out of their investments along the way. Don't think any of those in the shorting chain can be the same person.
@JoePorterUK@BorisJohnson It's called accountability. Is he or is he not the leader of this country. As a leader you are accountable for when things go wrong, not just when it goes right. In this situation, doing the 'best' they can do has fallen far sort of the standard required to manage the pandemic.
@LTfisch @RedneckLeftist @Herofthewords @totally_kira @ceresisaplanet This is a dumb post, missing the point. My point is that the horror, exploitation, abuse, cycle of breeding/murdering undertaken by ani-ag is unique, and doesn't need exploitation of other sentient beings pain to communicate it's horror.
@LTfisch @RedneckLeftist @Herofthewords @totally_kira @ceresisaplanet Yes I take the point about the definition of little h holocaust. However, many fellow Vegans have claimed that explicitly, by referring to comparisons between the treatment of animals to Jews, or humans to Nazis. In those cases, there is no ambiguity, and it's wholly unacceptable
@RedneckLeftist @Herofthewords Except the word Holocaust hasn't been in existence for thousands of years, and was explicitly created for reference to this particular genocide. The word it is derived from, which has been around for thousands of years, has no meaning or association with the Holocaust.
@AdamRMG@Herofthewords No, but language has specific meaning. Holocaust is a specific term created only for that genocide (also it wasnt just Jews). The aim of a genocide is to destroy a group/nation, in this case an ethnicity. Systematic murder and breeding of animals for food production isnt genocide
@Herofthewords Wonder what Tetrapak have to say, considering that they produce most of the packaging for dairy milks, plant alternatives, and fruit juices.
@richroll Peak desperation indeed, most plant based alternatives are packaged in Tetrapak cartons, not 'milk' cartons, the same thing juices are packaged in. Telling also that environment comparisons could be included in the ban. Dairy industry operating out of insecurity, fear and denial.
@1mmortalSpartan@Ybretsae@d_tippi That's alright it was well beyond the pale. And that's alright too, glad to see it topped last week's effort, even with my phone circling the no battery point! Hope you are well too.
