Beachfront property in California returned to the decedents of black family after being taken from them a century ago.

This is just the hint of the tip of the iceberg.  This was common practice historically and trillions of dollars worth of property and opportunities were stolen from black owners in the 20th century through legal means and intimidation.

Just in time for a major oil spill....


Wonder who is going to get stuck with the cleanup?

Wow, and you think gun violence is different?

More oil, more opportunity for spills. More guns, more opportunity for violence. 

Maybe humans need less oil and less guns? 

But to be somewhat fair to you, I think our species needs to stop stupidly think we can speed up the pace of consumption and stupidly think we can indefinitely explode our species population. 

PACE is the problem. Humans are going too fast for our planet to absorb the things we do. 

There is a reason there are building codes for businesses, say like bars, where the fire martials denote to the business owner the capacity level of such businesses. Laws are not, or should I argue, should not denote oppressing anyone. 

I don't see smoking being banned worldwide ever. I also do not see oil being outlawed, because it is also used to make products not having to do with burning. But humans should not ignore that the fact the bigger we get, as a population, the more we fight over resources, and the planet doesn't give a shit about our species.
