Listen, you care about the #climate. You care about the #environment. You care about the actual, factual #globalwarming going on right now. Good for you.

Now why aren't you voting #socialist? Why aren't you promoting #socialism? Why aren't you avoiding #predatory #multinational #corporations? Why aren't you breaking down local giant corporations? Why aren't you #organizing?!

I was basically reminded by a certain David today, whose fighting a certain multinational Goliath, that #tech people just can't see the forest for the trees... and also that the social antennas are a bit lose, AND THAT'S COMING FROM ME.

A good example of the many ways that corporations export & import criminal behavior, without 'breaking any laws' where their facade 'home base' is.

While international is between difficult and impossible, the status-quo arguments are usually based on a defense of 'sovereign laws apply only within the land of the entity', the general Rule of Law and many international treaties apply to both sides of the transactions.

All operate at the condoning of the people via the state. All people working for such an organization should be required to follow all the laws of their land, no matter where they operate. That includes laws, pay & benefits, regs, etc.

I hope Belgium gets this passed, and the dominos begin to fall.
