SAN-FRANCISCO – February 21, 2019 Cyber-retailing giant Amazon Inc., the company that belongs to the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, did not pay a cent of corporate income tax either in 2017 or 2018. At the same time, Amazon’s revenues, which, in theory, should be levied, amount to many billions of dollars. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-19/amazon-paid-zero-corporate-tax-second-year-row In fiscal 2018, Amazon's net income was $11.2 billion, which is two times more compared to $5.6 billion a year earlier.

Global Cooling: New Generation No Longer Has the Basic Instinct
70
CALIFORNIA - February 20, 2019 According to a fundamental article from the authoritative the Atlantic, there’s something strange with the love lives of those of the new generation, at least in developed countries. All circumstances would seem to suggest that there should be a flourishing of universal, free, and carefree love for the younger generations. Take, for example, the relatively young American Millennials (born in the early 1980s and after) and Generation Z (born in the mid-1990s to mid-2000s). The percentage of those who believe that to enter into an intimate r...

4591
CALIFORNIA - February 13, 2019 If humanity suddenly disappears, the Earth will turn into an ecological utopia. After 500 years, the cities will lie in ruins and become camouflaged by grasses. The fields will be covered with forests and wild plants. Sea reefs and corals will be restored. Boars, hedgehogs, lynxes, bison, beavers and deer will walk across Europe. Bronze statues, plastic bottles, smartphone boards and an increased amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be the longest-remaining evidence that people were ever there. The question of what will happen if...

CALIFORNIA - February 7, 2019 The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed the fears of many world experts that temperatures will reach their highest levels. 2018 was the fourth hot year, if we don't take into account the preceding five-year period, which represents the hottest since modern measurements.

Laura Lyons was preparing food in her kitchen Sunday when the lazy afternoon took a turn for the absurd. A loud screeching noise – similar to the beginning of an emergency broadcast alert siren – began blaring throughout the living room, warning the family that three North Korean intercontinental ballistic missiles were headed toward Los Angeles, Chicago and Ohio… “It warned that the United...
The Evils of Big Pharma – Drug Addiction
188
CALIFORNIA - January 22, 2019 The war on drugs in the United States is purely political in nature. It is not a fight against the evil of harming one’s health. Despite decades of prohibition, drug production and consumption are increasing worldwide. One has only to think about the funding to fight drug addiction: more than $100 billion a year, rivaling the size of the global aid budget (about $146 billion). If redirected, that money could help provide healthcare, education, and clean water to people across the world. Drug policies make our world a more dangerous place, n...
