The thread below this would indicate that this is not genuinely a Tweet from a Chinese woman.
Just an observation. A lot of people are hooking up their electric car chargers, I talk to several per week now.
While you're waiting for it to charge how about you sit down and do some online shopping so those gasoline driven delivery trucks that now circle the neighborhood like buzzards will bring you something nice. Or, once you have your Earthmommy car charged how about you go to a local retail store and buy something off the shelf. Please do - I see things that come from all over the world in HD that are complete pieces of crap in the first place that are more often than not wasted and literally chucked into a compactor.
As a whole we are hypocritical gluttons. Penny wise and pound foolish. I wonder how our carbon footprint would change if we stopped with the ruinous retail waste
I have never understood giving all these corporations huge tax breaks. Disney makes billions of dollars each year. Why should they benefit even more? The same goes for tax payers funding stadiums. Totally insane.Reversal of Disney's self-governing status 'ironic' says historian Victor Davis Hanson
With the repeal of Disney's special self-governing status in Florida, the dynamic of woke corporations attacking conservative states is being reversed, historian Victor Davis Hanson told Fox News Friday. Hanson told "Hannity" the dissolution of Disney's self-governing status is an ironic counteraction to the trend of corporations like Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Major League Baseball denouncing or acting against a center-right legislative decision.
Hanson pointed to Coke and MLB's outcry over Georgia's passage of an election security law, which led to the All-Star Game being relocated from Atlanta to Denver – as well as pressure from other corporations against a now-overturned policy in North Carolina requiring people to use the bathroom designated to their birth sex. The NCAA and several companies threatened action after then-Gov. Pat McCrory supported the legislation.
Outrage over the Disney decision is "ironic" given that context, Hanson said. "Over the last decade we've been told that private business can really force these conservative states to their knees – if they have ID laws, Major League Baseball will boycott them, or [North] Carolina has just two bathrooms, and all of our California companies here will shut out billions of dollars," he said.
"So now it's sort of reverse that. Not really. It's not even equal yet, but the states are saying we can do this too. We can pass laws that reflect our values, just like you can boycott our states."
He added that there have been some eccentric reactions to the move, including from American Federation of Teachers chief Randi Weingarten, who claimed decisions like DeSantis' are "how wars start."
Hanson said Weingarten actually has a point, but not one she intended to make – in that the Third Reich in Germany and the Maoist Revolution in China can be partially traced to indoctrination of youth into a totalitarian ideology. "It's kind of ironic that she was right," he said.

Interesting that Coca-Cola would take such a principled stand over electoral and LGBT rights issues. The following FIFA webpage boasts that Coca-Cola has had stadium advertising in every football World Cup since 1950, and that Coca-Cola holds privileged 'partner' status in sponsoring the upcoming Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.Reversal of Disney's self-governing status 'ironic' says historian Victor Davis Hanson

Qatar has been criticized for attaining the right to host the tournament through corruption, of keeping the foreign workers who build the stadia for the tournament in exploitative conditions that make them effectively slaves, and having them work under lax safety standards that lead to a high rate of accidents and deaths (one leading cause of death among the workers is heat stroke). It is also nearly an absolute monarchy, granting its public very narrow democratic rights, with decision which can effectively be overturned by the ruling monarchy if they don't like them. It also has non-LGBT friendly stances towards homosexual relations (homosexuality is de jure punishable by death), as well as having corporal punishment. Its foreign labour force (which vastly outnumbers the ruling native population) is kept with expatriate status, with no hope of ever gaining the right of citizenship, much less ever be granted meaningful democratic rights. Never mind males and females being able to share the same bathrooms if they choose, in Qatar, they are not even allowed to use the same teaching facilities at university. But Coca-Cola is OK with all of this.

How long before some woke sleuth uncovers that 'cannabis' has a racist origin?Washington state legislature strikes word 'marijuana' from state laws, citing racism
The Washington State Legislature recently passed a bill replacing the word "marijuana" with "cannabis" in all state laws, citing the alleged racist origins of the Spanish word.
"The term ‘marijuana’ itself is pejorative and racist," said Democratic state Rep. Melanie Morgan claimed during 2021 testimony regarding House Bill 1210, which she sponsored, according to local CBS affiliate KIRO 7.
"As recreational marijuana use became more popular, it was negatively associated with Mexican immigrants," Morgan explained. "Even though it seems simple because it’s just one word, the reality is we’re healing the wrongs that were committed against Black and Brown people around cannabis."

Wisconsin lawmaker criticized for calling women ‘birthing bodies’ in tweet about abortion
A Wisconsin Democratic lawmaker was criticized over social media for using the term "birthing bodies" instead of women while tweeting about the potential reversal of Roe V. Wade.
State Rep. Francesca Hong made the substitution in a Monday evening tweet following the news of the leak of an alleged draft of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion to revoke the landmark 1973 case.
