Numerous reports are emerging that Adidas will be destroying the jobs of numerous workers in Asia who have been manufacturing their footwear for decades. Adidas is following numerous other garment manufacturers in deciding to trade payroll and other assorted costs associated with employing homo sapiens for the comparatively predictable costs associated with financing and maintaining machines. Urban apparel maker Nike is also working on eliminating its workforce in Asia in favor of roboting garment assembly. Mining never changes. Sorry for your loss.

Finnish Prime Minister Breaks Promise To Personally House Refugees
Numerous sources are reporting that Finnish Prime Minister Juha Sipilä (WOT:nonperson) has broken a promise he made earlier to personally offer his second home as housing for refugees arriving in Finland (archived). Sipilä cited concerns about security and "heavy publicity" in withdrawing the offer, even though the offer was made in order to generate publicity. Sipilä reportedly has two privately owned homes in addition to the residence provided to him by Finnish taxpayers. By offering the home it initially appeared that Sipilä intended to ease a portion of the burden he was imposing on taxpayer through inviting the world's poor to make their own cold weather Africa on Finnish soil at taxpayer's expense by at least housing one refugee family himself. Instead he just demonstrated that he was just another Trump-Clinton full of empty promises putting tax payers on the hook for his hollow publicity stunt. Sorry for your loss.
Spain (WOT:nonperson) Raid And Arrests Mining Farm Operators
Spanish police (WOT:nonpeople) have raided a number of Bitcoin mining farms and arrested their operators over "money laundering" concerns. The willingness of Spanish police to do this in the face of Chinese and Anglophone mining hegemony exacerbates, but not critically the miner problem. In spite of the love various "anarchists" give Spain, Spain doesn't seem to reciprocate that affection.

Ken Starr (WOT:nonperson) Changes Tune On Clintons AND Sex Scandal Cover Ups
Kenneth Starr (WOT:nonperson) former Solicitor General, former Independent Counsel, and most recently former President of Baylor University has apparently changed his tune on the subject of sex scandals as well as on the subject of Clintons. Starr was fired from his position at Baylor University for facilitating a sex scandal involving the Baylor football team and criminal convictions for sexual assualt and coincidental with his firing, Starr began heaping praise upon America's first black president William Jefferson Clinton. This is an odd turn because Starr spent most of the 1990's prosecuting Bill Clinton for covering up his many sex scandals including President Clinton's alleged criminal sexual assault of Paula Jones.
Bill and Hilary Clinton sent their public relations enforcer, the snake headed queen bitch James Carville, on an extended campaign of character assassination against Starr which continued well after Clinton was impeached and left the White House in shame at the end of his final term. Apparently Starr's own recent ordeal assisting in covering up a sex scandal helped him to empathize with the Clinton way of life. Peace in our time.
Ingsoc Victory: Britain's Children Too Fat To Breathe
The Mirror reports that an increasing number of British children have to be placed on mechanical ventilators because they are too fat for their bodies to sustain independent respiration. Respiration is of course an basic activity that a person must undertake in order to sustain life independently, but English socialism1 of course is opposed to the independent living of individual homo sapiens as an organizing principle. Though no spokesperson will likely admit it publicly, the complete dependence of this latest generation of children upon the government's National "Health" Service is an ideological victory for Ingsoc. Hamplanetry, Transmayogenderism, and criminal Obeastiality plague the entire anglophone world the embrace of Ingsoc in the United Kingdom appears to be giving Britain the lead in both their general level of socialist depravity as well as their growth in endemic morbid obesity.
