Even more comical, Europeans have come up with a green name for the practice of cutting down a tree and burning it for energy – they call it “biomass.”
It gets even funnier. It’s trees in the United States that are being cut down, then reduced to little wood pellets, then shipped across the Atlantic on petroleum-burning tankers, then burned in European furnaces to produce energy. They call this green and sustainable, even though the carbon emissions from this process dwarf those of nuclear energy and domestically drilled natural gas.
Europe Rethinks Its Reliance on Burning Wood for Electricity [NY Times – 5/17/2022]
In recent years, Europe’s power plants have slashed their use of coal by burning something else instead: Millions of tons of wood, much of it imported from the United States. A controversial European Union policy called the Renewable Energy Directive drove this transition by counting biomass — organic material like wood, burned as fuel — as renewable energy and subsidizing its use. A trans-Atlantic industry developed, logging American forests and processing the material into pellets, which are then shipped to Europe.
Green idiocy wants to switch to a power source that rarely works, requires massive amounts of mining and burning of carbon, is harmful to wildlife, and needs to be replaced often so the discarded elements will sit in landfills.
“Street takeovers” are becoming quite common in Los Angeles and big cities. A mob of people and cars, responding to a prompt on social media, show up at an intersection and raise holy hell. Police try to break it up but are usually far too late.
Such was the case on August 15 when a flash mob showed up at Figueroa Street and El Segundo Boulevard. After a few minutes of causing mayhem on the streets, they moved into a 7-Eleven store like a swarm of locusts. They picked it clean of anything of value in a matter of minutes...
Police said they will start confiscating cars of both drivers and spectators at street takeovers in the future. [What a novel idea. I'll hold my breath]
“If they’re going to start doing this kind of stuff, inconveniencing people, locking up freeways and taking over freeways, cars are going to start disappearing real soon,” Moreno said.
People in the area said they have been seeing businesses disappearing lately and fear more investments may go away, if the bad behavior continues.
“We’re losing a lot of stuff and we’re not going to have the resources,” said Compton resident Kevin Hosley. “People are going to pull out of us. A lot of us can’t afford to move to $700,000 homes. We’re stuck. We got to live in it but people don’t want to take care of what we got.”

Insurance will just take care of it. Why are these people complaining? It's privilege to complain when these people are looting to feed their family.

Sounds like white flight and racist corporations
Pretty sure LeBron lives in that neighborhood. He certainly wouldn't be hunted down like a dog by white cops like he would be if he went outside in Beverly Hills.
The Catholic Church ain't got nothing on these fucking perverts.
We've seen how this goes. Kids get hurt or fucked up for life, lawsuits get filed, institutions go bankrupt, and the perverts, pedos and queers? Retire quietly on the institutions' dime, when they deserve to be crucified.

Just wait, people will be complaining about how those neighborhoods are "food deserts" on account of systemic white racism and how we need to spend more tax money to help them have better food options.

Fake science.
Green idiocy wants to switch to a power source that rarely works, requires massive amounts of mining and burning of carbon, is harmful to wildlife, and needs to be replaced often so the discarded elements will sit in landfills.
These people have lost their goddamned minds.
