Saturday Surprise — This ‘n That

What if…

De malinha pronta

Reprise

What if the rain keeps drifting away
What if the stars fall from the sky
What if the sun never shows up
What if the clouds are always grey

What if our love dies
What if the sea swallows us all
What if the Earth gets sick
What if they keep telling us lies

What if we all lose hope
What if nobody wakes up tomorrow
What if the Humanity goes crazy
What if we have no more home

What if the world comes to an end
What if my family is in trouble
What if my job is over
What if I miss my only friend

What if dreams never come true
What if life is made of nothing
What if hate is everywhere
What if I don’t have you

Breathe in, breathe out
And make every moment count.

Here is what Central Banks could do to stem inflation without crushing the poor or killing off the Green Transition – The Guardian – Yanis Varoufakis

A decent alternative policy must have three goals: first, to repress asset prices (such as house and share prices) so as to stop scarce financial resources being wasted in building up paper values. Second, to push down the prices of basic goods while allowing for higher returns to investment in green energy and transport. Third, to deliver massive investment in energy conservation and green energy, transport, agriculture – as well as social housing and care. The following threefold policy agenda can achieve these three goals.

How Russian Media Uses Fox News to Make Its Case – The New York Times

As Western leaders introduced sanctions against Russia for the invasion of Ukraine, Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, said seizing personal property from Russian oligarchs went too far.

“No American government had ever done anything like that before,” he said.

While the segment was aimed at Fox News’s conservative audience, it found another audience in Russia. The argument was parroted beat by beat by RIA Novosti, a Russian state news agency, which wrote that “the average U.S. citizen is simply horrified by what is happening.”

Veganism Does Exist in Cuba – Havana Times

Doctor Eduardo Daniel Cabrera Rose gave a dynamic talk about veganism and probiotics, focusing on applying this knowledge in a practical way. Then, young Abel Duran Zaldivar shared his first-hand experience in Permaculture, as a design tool for an eco-friendly and self-sufficient vegan lifestyle.

Questions from the public were respectful and enthusiastic. You could feel people getting involved with the subject and a real need for this kind of exchange. There is a part of our culture that isn’t included in the post-card they sell of Cuba, and this is the spirituality that the country has soaked in from unrecognized foreign traditions such as yoga and other millennial practices based on non-violence.
