The Escalating Backlash Against Big Tech. The most valuable companies in the stock market today can be found in the technology sector. The first publicly traded company in history to reach a $1 trillion valuation was Apple in 2018. While it took the company more than 40 years to reach that milestone, less than four years later its valuation has increased by a further two trillion, reaching another record breaking $3 trillion. The “trillion dollar club” has also since expanded to include three more companies – all of them in the technology sector. However, the markets appear to be falling out […]

Around 200 have been detained as the Belarusian capital, Minsk and other cities host rallies, during which the opposition plans to hold a “people’s inauguration” of former presidential candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya.

Moscow prosecutors have approved an indictment against anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny. He is accused of slandering a WWII veteran who spoke in favor of constitutional amendments, which were then passed in a public vote. The former Moscow mayoral candidate, today a leader in the city’s protest movement, called 94-year-old Ignat Artemenko a “traitor” for supporting the amendments to the constitution.

On June 2, Navalny reposted a video that showed a number of Russians encouraging a vote in favor of the package […]

Health Editor’s Note: I am not sure what the issue here is all about. What we have known all along is that coronavirus can travel through the air, when someone coughs, sneezes, breaths hard, exhales air from the lungs, sings, talks, etc. and while the virus is in the air it can be inhaled by another human. The viral droplets can also lay on surfaces and from there can be picked up by touching the area with the hands and them bringing the viral laden hands/fingers to the face/mouth/nose where they can gain easy access to the mucous membranes of the […]
