“The companies have wrested control of land, deforested it, and helped build a controversial highway to their new terminal in the one-time jungle, all to facilitate the cultivation and export of grain and soybeans.”
“Schwarzman, a founder of Blackstone, owns roughly a fifth of the company, making him one of the world’s richest men. In 2018, he was paid at least $568 million, which was, in fact, a drop from the $786 million he made the year before. He has been generous toward McConnell and [t]rump with that wealth. In 2016, he gave $2.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, McConnell’s Super PAC and put Jim Breyer, McConnell’s billionaire brother-in-law, on the board of Blackstone. Two years later, Schwarzman kicked in $8 million to McConnell’s Super PAC. 
“Blackstone employees have given well over $10 million to McConnell and his Super PAC over the years, making them the biggest source of direct financing over McConnell’s career. McConnell’s Senate campaign declined to comment.
“Schwarzman is a close friend and adviser to [t]rump, and served as the chair of his Strategic and Policy Forum until it fell apart in the wake of the Charlottesville neo-Nazi rally, in which [t]rump famously praised 'very fine people, on both sides.’  In December 2017, as the final details of the GOP tax cut were being ironed out, Schwarzman hosted a $100,000-a-plate fundraiser for [t]rump. Some of [trump’s] dinner companions complained about the tax bill, and days later, [t]rump slashed the top percentage rate in the final package from 39.6 to 37. 
…"Bolsonaro has plans to pave significantly more roads in the Amazon that have otherwise been impassable much of the year, a project made feasible by international financing.
…"Of course, Hidrovias is also involved in paving B.R.-163 and other development projects in the region. Those projects, such as the paving of the highway, have additional indirect — though entirely predictable — consequences, as they spur side roads that make previously difficult-to-reach areas of the Amazon accessible for mining, logging, or further deforestation.
…"A Blackstone spokesperson noted that the fund only owns 9.3 percent* of Hidrovias. But that ignores the 55.8 percent of Hidrovias that is owned by Pátria Investimentos. On Hidrovias’s website, Pátria is described as a company ‘in partnership with Blackstone,’ and it is known in the financial industry to be a Blackstone company.”
*Pay no attention to claimed percentages of ownership.  What goes on behind ownership curtains is fluidly incestuous.  For example, from April 2019:
Blackstone Transfers 35% Stake in Brazil’s Alphaville Urbanismo to Pátria (em português)
“Blackstone transferred its 35% stake in Brazilian real estate developer Alphaville Urbanismo to its partner Pátria Investimentos. Blackstone and Pátria originally invested R$1.4b in June 2013 for a 70% stake in the company. The two firms formed a partnership in 2010 and Blackstone retains a 40% stake in Pátria.”

Brazil Subsidiary Hoovers Up $62 Million In Trump Trade War Aid Intended For Farmers

Every American farmer who has lost their Chinese market for soybeans – all of them – should be wondering how it was that trump “woke up” one morning with his idea of a trade war with China.  Had his close friend Schwartzman told trump the Brazilian road and terminal were ready?
There is no question that the Amazon rainforest is burning right now to open new farm land in order to meet China’s soybean market.


I wanted Blackstone to get fucked prior to this, now…now I want them to 
SUFFER.

 Tree That Owns Itself

 The Tree That Owns Itself is a white oak tree, widely assumed to have
 legal ownership of itself and of all land within eight feet of its base.

 My parents live in this town and the city legally
 can't tear the tree down to build or anything
 because the tree has its own legal rights and
 they can't do anything about it.
 vnicent
 how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen
 giraffepoliceforce
 love this story because this guy in the early 1800's had so
 many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to
 make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded
 the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went
 with it.
 Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked
 the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had
 saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that
 and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet
 tall.
 And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the
 original tree it's considered to have legally inherited the
 plot of land it's inhabiting
 Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if
 you don't think this is the coolest thing get right out of my
 face.

        Beijing, Definitely, and Guns: BANG

 WE CAN END GUN VIOLENCE.

American citizens own 40% of all guns in the world. 

Out of more than one billion firearms in the world, American citizens hold 393 million, for a population of roughly 326 million. That’s a lot of guns!

The last time the US federal government managed to pass laws that limit the spread and use of guns was 25 years ago. It was 1994. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban was temporary. It expired in 2004, resulting in a massive increase in mass shootings across the country. Republicans are running out of excuses, blaming the latest incidents in Drayton and El Paso on video games.

We can end gun violence. Let’s start with gun control.


What sort of gun control legislation would you like to see be put into place?


OP, that claim of shootings increased is false. The violence and shootings didn’t change in that decade from the previous decade, and in fact, violence has been on the decline. 
WHAT HAS CHANGED is how much media is shoved down your throat. Thats it. The nonstop spam from legacy media of a single event for a month, if not months on end is what changed. It used to be a 5, maybe 10 minute story has now turned into a 4 week “constant coverage” of spewing the same info daily, with nothing added. 
After the early 90s, we saw a sharp decline and its been declining ever since. 
Meanwhile, ownership is at an alltime high, increasing, as if a plethora of armed citizens reduces the audacity of a potential killer to attempt knowing they’ll get capped.
What has also changed is the increase in the absolutely terrible idea of “gun free zones” seeing as approximately 85-95% of these shootings are occuring in these zones. Seems like that’s your problem. 
Hmm, this graph seems to showcase that despite the US owning vastly more guns… homicide rate is lower than a hefty chunk of even the non gun owners…


I’d just like to know how they propose to take our guns. If I got one logical explanation from one of these half wits that didn’t include magic or ridiculous gestapo tactics we could have a conversation but, every F’ing time it devolves into name calling, insults, and slander. They simply can’t explain how to take the guns away. Not a single one of them has ever responded to me without crass vulgarities and irrational screeching. 



myamberreason said: 
Anyway, guys, why you need THAT many guns? I understand owned a few for protection or legal hunting, but why do you have around 40% of firearms in the world??


I’m sorry, are you implying the Yanks should meet international proportional quotas on guns?


We do own a few for self-defense and hunting.  It’s just that the rest of the world doesn’t own very many guns.


The reason we all have so many guns is very simple: logistics. The point of the second amendment is for us, the citizens of the USA, to be “shit your pants, wake up in a cold sweat” terrifying to the people running this country, so much so that they involuntarily have second, third, even fourth thoughts about ever violating our rights. The 2nd amendment is the most important and most powerful of all the amendments. Every single right and amendment could taken away, and we could regain them all with that one. And I’m not the only one who recognizes the importance of the 2nd.And it definitely terrifies Beijing.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t have to justify an amount of guns to you any more than I have to justify how many video games or coffee cups I have.

        Christmas, Love, and Ugly: Vodafone.de

 Summary
 How we work ("bullshit-free" version);
 We write all new code in Swift but we also carry the
 baggage of legacy Objective-C code. Ugly 10-year-old
 Objective-C code. You know what we mean. But we're
 committed to getting rid of it
 We reach 400,000 people every day. We support 13
 languages. We have more than 2 million vehicles in our
 database
 We really care about quality. We have a lot of tests and
 keep a close eye on our crash logs.
 . We aim to be data-driven. We A/B test all user-facing
 features.We're focused on user experience and work
 closely with UX designers.
 . We automate ALL THE THINGS. We own our Cl. We use
 TeamCity, Fastlane, Danger, and all the rest.
 We love trying new things. Architectural patterns,
 services, tools, you name it. Promises and Apollo
 (GraphQL) work great for us. Heck, we even tried Readt
 Native. Not that great.
 What We Need From You
 Passion for development and a strong sense of
 ownership
 * Be not afraid to explore or touch things, even in ugly old
 legacy code
 Be agile
 . Think beyond Swift and Objective-C. There will also be
 some Ruby, shell scripts, and even the occasional Scala
 Speak English (German is a plus, Bavarian even more,
 but that's more important for Oktoberfest)
 *Willing to give and accept help from your colleagues
 (a.k.a. "collaborative culture")
 Be smart and don't overengineer every piece of code
 you push (some overengineering between Christmas and
 New Year's Eve is fine)

 Summary
 How we work ("bullshit-free" version);
 We write all new code in Swift but we also carry the
 baggage of legacy Objective-C code. Ugly 10-year-old
 Objective-C code. You know what we mean. But we're
 committed to getting rid of it
 We reach 400,000 people every day. We support 13
 languages. We have more than 2 million vehicles in our
 database
 We really care about quality. We have a lot of tests and
 keep a close eye on our crash logs.
 . We aim to be data-driven. We A/B test all user-facing
 features.We're focused on user experience and work
 closely with UX designers.
 . We automate ALL THE THINGS. We own our Cl. We use
 TeamCity, Fastlane, Danger, and all the rest.
 We love trying new things. Architectural patterns,
 services, tools, you name it. Promises and Apollo
 (GraphQL) work great for us. Heck, we even tried Readt
 Native. Not that great.
 What We Need From You
 Passion for development and a strong sense of
 ownership
 * Be not afraid to explore or touch things, even in ugly old
 legacy code
 Be agile
 . Think beyond Swift and Objective-C. There will also be
 some Ruby, shell scripts, and even the occasional Scala
 Speak English (German is a plus, Bavarian even more,
 but that's more important for Oktoberfest)
 *Willing to give and accept help from your colleagues
 (a.k.a. "collaborative culture")
 Be smart and don't overengineer every piece of code
 you push (some overengineering between Christmas and
 New Year's Eve is fine)

It’s
 worth pointing out that the poverty rate mentioned in the picture is 
relative poverty. By law everyone in Norway is entitled to shelter and 
subsistence support including basic health care.
Poor Norwegians, in other words, receive far more support from society than poor Americans do.

Socialism works. The only reason republicans want capitalism is so the rich can hoard all the wealth while poor people suffer. Vote Bernie!


EAT. THE. RICH.




You pay the same tax rate, but in America you have to add your health care payments and tuition payments. That can be thousands a year.
Plus, they get 8 weeks of vacation. They get 35 weeks of paid parental leave.
We have to end siphoning all the surplus labor value to shareholders and give back profits as wages and benefits.

 "Let's not celebrate too quickly. [The] bump stock ban will likely be
 tied up in court for years. Only hours after the Trump administration
 released its final regulation, Gun Owners of America announced
 it would file a lawsuit." -Senator Dianne Feinstein, December 19, 2018
It's official! GOA has filed suit against the ATF's illegal and unconstitutional bump stock ban. And Dianne Feinstein is not happy. Official statement: December 26, 2018 For immediate release GOA Files Suit Against ATF’s Illegal and Unconstitutional Bump Stock Ban Springfield, VA – Gun Owners of America (GOA) and its Foundation (GOF) filed suit today against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF) for their regulations on bump stocks. Erich Pratt, executive director of Gun Owners of America said, “Our suit challenges the legality of ATF’s action and asks for an injunction to stop enforcement of the regulations. “These dangerous regulations can go much farther than just bump stocks. The goal of the anti-gun left is, ultimately, not just banning bump stocks, but, rather, putting ‘points on the board’ toward its goal of banning civilian ownership of all firearms.” The suit is filed strategically in Western District of Michigan, and GOA is joined by other pro-gun groups and individuals. “Not coincidentally, Michigan is located within the jurisdiction of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals - a circuit which is not only very pro-gun, but also has been more skeptical of illegal government regulatory actions than many other circuits in the country,” Pratt stated. “GOA is happy to announce that the Virginia Citizens Defense League has joined the suit as a plaintiff - as well as Tim from the Military Arms Channel and GOA’s Texas state director Rachel Malone,” Pratt continued. “And I’m pleased to report that several state gun organizations, such as the Oregon Firearms Federation and BamaCarry, have contacted GOA and will be contributing financially, and by other means, to this case. 2A gunowners gunownersofamerica goasupporters bumpstock

 Tree That Owns Itself

 The Tree That Owns Itself is a white oak tree, widely assumed to have
 legal ownership of itself and of all land within eight feet of its base

 My parents live in this town and the city legally
 can't tear the tree down to build or anything
 because the tree has its own legal rights and
 they can't do anything about it.
 vnicent
 how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen
 giraffepoliceforce
 I love this story because this guy in the early 1800's had so
 many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to
 make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded
 the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went
 with it.
 Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked
 the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had
 saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that
 and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet
 tall
 And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the
 original tree it's considered to have legally inherited the
 plot of land it's inhabiting
 Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if
 you don't think this is the coolest thing get right out of my
 face.
Trees have rights too! Great read if you have the time via /r/funny https://ift.tt/2xDsk21
