- "EU country ‘punishing’ the elderly with crazy meat restriction of just 2.8 ounces per [week] — because they ‘screwed up’ the climate"--New York Post. The politician is a liberal white woman, of course.
Birgitte Kehler Holst of the left-wing green Danish party The Alternative was also accused of saying old people in nursing homes should be “punished” by restricting their meat intake in comments made in a meeting of Copenhagen’s City Council on April 30.
She was speaking against plans to exclude nursing home residents from guidelines in the Danish capital that restrict meals at government-run sites to just 2.8 ounces (80 grams) of beef, lamb, or veal per week.
That is less than the amount of beef in a standard McDonald’s Big Mac, which contains two 1.6-ounce beef patties — for a total of 3.2 ounces.
Malte Larsen of the populist Danish People’s Party pointed out the hypocrisy:
“According to a politician from The Alternative, it’s because our elderly have been the biggest climate sinners throughout their lives. And therefore, they must be punished,” he added.
Larsen also ripped the rhetoric of “self-righteous climate fanatics” as “grotesque,” adding that it was a pointless gesture.
“No, we’re not saving the entire world by having our elderly eat only 11.4 grams of beef per day. Denmark emits 0.1% of the world’s human-caused CO2,” he added, taking aim at the hypocrisy of many climate activists.
“Many of these climate fanatics who implement this kind of draconian climate measure have no problem flying back and forth to attend irrelevant climate conferences,” he said.
This has nothing to do with saving the environment and everything to do with saving money. The welfare state is running out of money and the foreigners from the Middle-East and Africa which were supposed to work and pay into the system have instead merely increased the burden on social services. But rather than get rid of the foreigners, the leftists want to kill off the elderly white people that actually contributed to the system.
- "Guess Why a Chicago Alderman Wants to Charge Walgreens With Crimes"--Townhall. Chicago Alderman William Hall wants to punish Walgreens for shutting down stores. The stores are being closed because the out-of-control shoplifting by Hall's constituents means that they lose money hand over fist. Hall says that Walgreens should be charged with "corporate abandonment". It's not a crime, yet. But this probably reflects ideas being circulated among leftists. This is probably a test to see how people react to the idea.
- The usual suspects: "Violent teens clash with cops at NJ carnival — prompting officials to cancel beloved yearly event." The article reports:
Unruly teens violently overwhelmed a New Jersey community carnival, sparking several fights and cursing out police officers, forcing organizers to prematurely shutter the beloved annual event.
A large gathering of “unsupervised juveniles” descended on the Maple Shade Tigers Youth Football Carnival at JFK Memorial Field in Maple Shade, NJ, on May 1, inundating the yearly gathering that raises funds for the youth sports organization, according to township officials.
“Officers on scene, along with event organizers, directed those involved and other unruly individuals to leave the carnival grounds in an attempt to restore order and maintain public safety,” Maple Shade officials said.
“As a result of the incident, the carnival was closed for the remainder of the evening.”
