Is Saudi Arabia Really Planting Millions of Trees in the Desert to Fight Climate Change?
When the leaders of Saudi Arabia aren’t dismembering journalists for their opposing points of view politically, they’re making trillions of dollars from selling oil. The idea that they’re at all concerned about the environment is ludicrous. It would also be …

Defining “Woke”
I like what the lawyer said here, though I would argue that the concept goes even further: • All of Earth’s people need to be treated fairly and equally. We have people worth hundreds of billions of dollars, living on …
