COLOMBIA💔💔💔 — One of the most talked-about incidents in Colombia right now.
A woman walking down a street noticed something unusual on the balcony of a residential apartment. At first, she believed she was seeing a father playing with his young son, but after realizing something was wrong, she began screaming for help, drawing the attention of neighbors who called police.
Authorities later raided the apartment, rented through Airbnb by a 35-year-old American from Texas, and found three minors inside, aged 7, 5, and 15.
The discovery sparked outrage among local residents, who gathered outside and demanded that the suspect's face be shown. Anti-riot police were eventually deployed, and after a three-hour standoff, officers safely extracted the man from the building.
@PositivFuturist Yes because homeless people are homeless soley because they don't have money and if we just gave them money they'd magically become perfectly functioning members of society.
Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow.
All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted..
THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite.
Bam - homelessness solved.
The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.
If Musk gave just 1% of his salary per year to homeless people, that would be $100,00,000,00 a year — enough to provide clean clothes, food and safe needles to every homeless person in the world, 8 times over.
Let that sink in.
That green is the only thing keeping her standing.
The Statue of Liberty's skin is copper barely 2.4mm thick, thinner than two stacked pennies. When it went up in 1886 it was the brown of a fresh penny. Oxygen and moisture hit the bare copper first and grew a thin red layer of cuprite underneath. Then New York did the rest. Coal smoke filled the air with sulfur dioxide, the harbor added chloride, and rain washed both onto the metal. The copper fed on the sulfur to build brochantite, the green copper-sulfate mineral that makes up most of what you see today.
That green crust seals the copper off from the air. Once it covered the surface, around 1906, the corrosion that created it slowed almost to a stop. Across a full century the skin has worn down by about five thousandths of an inch. When crews restored the statue for its 100th birthday, the copper body was one of the only parts they didn't replace. They rebuilt the torch and left the skin alone.
This is why the Park Service keeps refusing to polish it. Strip the green and you scrape off the protective layer and restart the whole reaction on bare metal that's already paper-thin.
The brown statue was the fragile one. The green one built its own armor.
@seandsweeney@elonmusk Can literally can't end world hunger. You can feed people for a short time but that's all. They don't produce their own food for a reason.
I believe that @elonmusk is entitled to the trillions and more that he may be worth in this lifetime for the value he has created.
I also believe it would be the most baller move of all time to stroke a $6.6 billion check and end world hunger.
The idea that Elon Musk worked harder than every person alive and who has ever lived is a very stupid and immature fairytale. Wake up. He’s robbing us.
Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire, while Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax. Concentrated and unprecedented wealth at the top is a slap in the face to working families who are struggling to stay afloat.
@guyfelicella Wait what, raspberries aren't even in season yet, I guarantee you the my brought those from the US and sold them to you as local. You're retarded.
U.S. strawberries: $6.99.
HARD PASS.
Fresh BC strawberries and raspberries from a local farmers market: $7.00.
Easy choice.
Buy local. Buy Canadian. 🇨🇦

The overwhelming majority of Muslims are ordinary people trying to live their lives.
