Hello there!

  • Fun fact

    Canada currently gives tax breaks to people that give money to the following universities :

    • Tel-Aviv University
    • Ariel University
    • Hebrew University of Jerusalem
    • Technion-Israel Institute of Technology
    • Ben Gurion University of the Negev
    • Bar-Ilan University
    • University of Haifa
    • Yeshivat Aish Hatorah

    If Israel is showing such disrespect, their charitable statuts should be revoked.

    In fact, there are far too many foreign universities in this list. WTF

  • US suspends technology deal with the UK

    Jump

  • A UK government spokesman said: “Our special relationship with the US remains strong and the UK is firmly committed to ensuring the tech prosperity deal delivers opportunity for hardworking people in both countries.”

    The UK-US special relationship is special because only Brits believe it's true.

  • How a Brazilian meat tycoon accused of bribery and deforestation became a key player in regional diplomacy

    Jump

  • Great journalism from The Guardian 👏

    Billionaires Joesley and Wesley Batista own JBS, the largest meat company that the world has ever seen. Their clients include Aldi, Carrefour, Walmart, Burger King, McDonalds.

    Wherever you are in the world, if you eat meat, you are very likely enriching these two brazilian brothers.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-25/jbs-meat-company-australia-four-corners-investigation/100997044

    Almost 8 years ago, Wesley and Joesley Batista were in jail, engulfed in a corruption scandal that nearly toppled the Brazilian president Michel Temer.

    Now they are back at the height of their power. And they getting involved in international diplomacy.

    Musk’s fury over X fine sends chill through European Parliament and EU Regulators. They are used to corporate attacks, but not like this.

  • Australian resident, not citizen. That's not exactly the same thing.

  • Australian PM proposes tougher national gun laws after mass shooting in Sydney

    Jump

  • The man arrived in Australia in 1998 on a student visa, authorities said, and was an Australian resident when he died. Officials wouldn't confirm what country he had migrated from.

    A foreigner should not be allowed to obtain a gun licence.

    This is the first loophole that needs to be closed.

  • France demands EU-Mercosur trade pact signing be put off

  • From what I understand, in exchange of agricultural products from Brazil and Argentina, these countries will make it easier for large EU corporations to sell cars and planes.

    It's basically bad for farmers but good for industry.

    In theory, the winners are supposed to compensate the losers. In theory...

    Trade deals should have much stronger environmental and labor norms.
