A destructive cult!-----Corporate Sustainability Is An Oxymoron That Does Not Benefit Shareholders Or Employees

Corporate Sustainability Is An Oxymoron That Does Not Benefit Shareholders Or Employees

Excellent article from CFACT that ridicules Sustainable Development, which is Technocracy. The best way to return to business growth is to shut down the appeasement of the sustainability crowd.  TN Editor
"In recent years, aggressive environmentalists in government and the non-profit sectors have successfully pressured many firms to endorse positions that make no sense for their shareholders, employees or the communities in which they operate. 
Few businesses would publicly endorse central planning or back restrictions on economic growth. 
But the rational fear of demonization, boycotts or even legal action by government or advocacy groups has encouraged many businesses to seek compromise by endorsing “sustainability.”
What went wrong? 
To many business people and to the general public, sustainability is the buzzword for thrift, resourcefulness, and long-term planning. 
Aren’t such qualities good for businesses and within families? 
But sustainability has grown into an ideology marked by dark skepticism toward human ingenuity and progress.
The roots of “sustainability” go back to a 1987 UN report, Our Common Future, in which the bureaucrats endorsed the idea that economics is a dismal zero-sum game. 
Sustainability presumes that using resources now necessarily means having fewer to draw upon in the future, a very dubious assertion..."

World overpopulated?-----Half the World's Population Lives in Just 1% of the Land [Map] - Metrocosm

Half the World's Population Lives in Just 1% of the Land [Map] - Metrocosm:
  • The yellow region in the map includes every cell with a population of 8,000 or more people. Since each of them has an area of about 9 square miles, the population density of each yellow cell is at least 900 people per square mile, roughly the same population density as the state of Massachusetts.

  • Conversely, the black region is made up of those cells with populations of less than 8,000 people. In other terms, the population density throughout the black area is less than 900 people per square mile.

    '14-Year-Old Girl Would Never Have Been Raped' if We Could’ve Done Our Job, Border Patrol Council Says

    '14-Year-Old Girl Would Never Have Been Raped' if We Could’ve Done Our Job, Border Patrol Council Says:

     "Judd said that half of all illegal aliens are successfully breaking into the United States without capture due, in part, to policies that are demoralizing border agents:

    “Not only did we have the catch and release program that completely and totally demoralized the rank and file agents in the border patrol, but we also had an arrest rate of one out of every two."

    Leftist power-tool-----Gay Activists Claim Ugly Mary Jane shoes are 'Cultural Appropriation'

    Gay Activists Claim Gucci's Ugly Mary Jane Shoes are 'Cultural Appropriation'
    "Gucci is the latest brand to come under fire for “cultural appropriation,” this time for a line of shoes released alongside the fashion label’s Resort 2017 ready-to-wear collection. 
    The accused shoes, according to gay activists, resemble shoes popular with punk LGBT scenesters in the 1980s.
    The “Mary Jane” style shoes feature huge buckles and straps that wrap around the ankle and lower leg. 
    One pair is sort of a cutaway boot, that cages in most of the wearer’s lower leg in a style that looks both hip and like you’d probably get blisters behind your knee after ten minutes of wear.
    The shoes are also aggressively ugly. 
    And cost just shy of $2,000 per pair.
    ...Not so fast, say the inventors of Queercore. 
    No one said Gucci could the term, and the thought of paying thousands for a pair of Mary Janes just isn’t in keeping with the nature of punk..."

    Liberals-What they ALWAYS do when THEY have the power-----Court strikes down Guam’s racist voting scheme | Power Line

    Court strikes down Guam’s racist voting scheme | Power Line:
    "Six years ago, retired Air Force officer Arnold Davis, a resident of Guam, tried to register to vote on a plebiscite regarding Guam’s future.
    His application was rejected and marked as “void” by the Guam Election Commission.
    Why?
    Image result for obama guam election voteBecause Guam banned residents from registering or voting unless they are Chamorro “natives,” which to the territorial government means people whose ancestors were original inhabitants of Guam. Chamorros constitute only about 36 percent of the island’s present population.
    Davis, a white man, is not Chamorro.
    Therefore, he was deemed ineligible to vote.
    Denying Davis the right to vote because of his race and national origin is an obvious violation of the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act.
    Yet, as Hans von Spakovsky notes, the Obama administration did not lift a finger on behalf of Davis.
    It neither filed suit against Guam nor intervened in support of the lawsuit filed on Davis’ behalf by our friend Christian Adams and the Center for Individual Rights.
    Instead, the Obama administration gave Guam $300,000 to help finance the plebiscite..."

    "Islamists only seek a Sharia-compliant world, Ali said, in the wake of Wednesday's attack in London, a city with progressive leadership, "and whoever is in their way is their enemy."

    She said anyone who does not understand that should not be legislating policy.

    Carlson said terror groups believe Westerners do not have moral standing to critique Islam, and Ali agreed, adding that they sometimes will consider fellow Muslims illegitimate if they do not comply with their belief system."

    • Chart: The World's Most Respected 'Made in' Labels | Statista

    Infographic: The World's Most Respected 'Made in' Labels | Statista• Chart: The World's Most Respected 'Made in' Labels | Statista:
    Statista's Made-In-Country-Index (MICI) 2017 has shed light on the worldwide reputation of products produced in 49 different countries (plus the EU). 
    The survey of more than 43 thousand consumers - representing 90 percent of the global population - delves into the standing of 'Made in' labels around the world, revealing the national brands with the most respect. 
    The 'Made in' label was originally introduced by the British at the end of the 19th century to protect their economy from cheap, low quality and sometimes counterfeit imports from Germany. 
    It is therefore rather ironic that Germany now sits atop the ranking as the most respected label in the world. 
    Coming in a close second is Switzerland while the founders of the system find themselves in a still very respectable fourth place. 
    The United States is joint eighth with France and Japan.

    Carr: Don’t cry for Chelsea | Boston Herald

    Carr: Don’t cry for Chelsea | Boston Herald:
    "Meet America’s newest victim — Chelsea Clinton.
    Nobody knows the troubles she’s seen.
    Chelsea’s got a right to sing the blues.
    Last week, in the Los Angeles Times, someone named Ann Friedman laid out the former First Spawn’s credentials as a modern Democrat in good standing.
    Chelsea is oppressed, as opposed to, say, another first daughter with blond hair.
    “Chelsea,” Friedman wrote, “like her mother, never gets a break — unlike Ivanka and her father.”
    Image result for Don’t cry for Chelsea clintonYou don’t say.
    Now that I think about it, it really must be arduous being Chelsea Clinton.
    This L.A. Times op-ed appeared a day after it was reported that after a nationwide search, she’d been added to the board of Expedia, a travel company owned by Clinton-connected billionaire Barry Diller.
    The pay: $250,000 a year in stock options, plus $45,000 cash.
    It’s her second no-heavy-lifting director’s gig at a Diller company — she also grabs $299,936 a year for sitting on the board of something called IAC Interactive.
    Nice work if you can get it.
    Chelsea Clinton.
    How did her father’s aide, Doug Band, describe her?
    A “spoiled brat.”
    In the WikiLeaks emails, Band said she had dipped into Clinton Foundation funds for “her V.I.P. wedding,” which he described as “not smart.”
    But then, how could a graduate of such lofty institutions as Stanford, Oxford and Columbia possibly concern herself about such mundane matters as the provenance of money.
    “I was curious,” she was once quoted as saying, “if I could care about (money) on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t.”
    What exactly are Chelsea’s credentials?
    She made $600,000 a year “working” for NBC News alongside anchor-fraud Brian Williams. Somebody did the math on her on-air packages (put together by a producer, of course) and discovered that she was paid $26,724 for every minute she appeared on NBC.
    ...“The laser-focused Chelsea vitriol is perplexing when it comes from the left,” writes Friedman, who is easily perplexed.
    “Shouldn’t such first-daughter hatred be reserved for Ivanka?”..."

    Defund the Left: GOP, Here’s Your Chance | National Review:

     "Senator Schumer has announced that he intends to filibuster the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. There is no substantive case against Gorsuch, who is well qualified for the position and held in generally high regard — including by Democrats. In 2006 he was confirmed unanimously to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. His most controversial position is that judges should stick to the law.
