She Called Police Over a Neo-Nazi Threat. But the Neo-Nazis Were Inside the Police.

Quote:
Death threats linked to police computers and the discovery of far-right chat groups in police departments across Germany have fed concerns about far-right infiltration.

One image showed Hitler on a rainbow with the caption “Good night, you Jews.” There were images of concentration camp inmates and images mocking drowned refugees and people with Down syndrome.

Pulse Oximeter Devices Have Higher Error Rate in Black Patients

NYTimes

One of my favorite podcasts The Skeptics Guide to the Universe did a segment on why errors like this are indicative of systemic racism in the science community.

Top Glove says will no longer fire whistleblowers; opens helplines for workers

Unbelievable but true, there are countries, like Malaysia, where whistleblowers have no protection at all.

Top glove is one of the biggest companies in Malaysia and is the world's largest producer of medical hand gloves, which has increased its sales (and profit) more than 5 times this year and who is responsible for the single biggest cluster of Covid cases in Malaysia due to the inhumane conditions in which it keeps its workforce (mostly migrant workers from SE Asia). Who are of course, paid nothing.

This is what the rest of the world looks like. Zero protection of workers rights, zero concern for other people's wellbeing with a hundred percent focus on profit.

People are disgusting.


P.s. Another beautiful story from Malaysia, earlier this year there was an Al Jazeera documentary about how the Malaysian authorities are using the Covid crisis as an excuse to hunt down and expell undocumented migrant workers. One Bangladeshi fool decided to speak without the protection of cover. After the documentary came out, there was a nationwide manhunt to find him. He was laid off, put in prison and summarily deported. There was no explanation about how a government can do this to someone just for speaking out (he was not illegally employed and had a valid visa).

Third world countries...:/

Meanwhile in South Sudan

Quote:
LEKUANGOLE, South Sudan (AP) — After nearly a week of hiding from conflict, Kallayn Keneng watched two of her young children die. “They cried and cried and said, ‘Mom, we need food,‘” she said. But she had nothing to give. Too frail to bury her 5-year-old and 7-year-old after days without eating, she covered their bodies with grass and left them in the forest.

No significant injuries reported. They just don't make terrorists like they used to. They peaked with 9/11 and have been coasting off that legacy since then.
