Imagine gunning down 30 starving people during a genocide and total blockade since March. This is what happens when mercenaries & operators with arms from the US/Israel distribute aid instead of leaving it to reliable and regular actors such as the UNRWA as well as other UN & aid agencies.
Israel is using food as a weapon to control and dehumanise Gaza.

Who knew there was a "dark roof" lobby? I sure didn't — but it seems every bad-for-the-planet industry has lobbyists.
"The weight of the scientific evidence is clear: On hot days, light-colored roofs can stay more than 50 degrees cooler than dark ones, helping cut energy use, curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce heat-related illnesses and deaths."
So of course those making dark roofs don't want cities or states adopting cool-roof requirements.

'to cast doubt on things that are basic common knowledge.'
Our way of life now, in too many ways. And almost impossible to fix, once the doubt has been let loose in a fog of information and money.
