Default New idea for global social justice!!!!

SOOOOO Cop 29 is about the Global south getting money from the Global North because the Global South is suffering the effects of CLIMATE CHANGE caused by ....The Global North!!!

This is called Compensation.

Well, The vast majority of illegal Narcotics comes to the Global North from the Global South, and China and India of course.

The First World Nations has suffered TRILLIONS of dollars in Social Costs from Fentanyl Overdoses, Meth, and Cocaine Addictions, and the related Crime costs in our Society from the drugs exported to the Global North from the Global South.

So if the North should pay the South because of Climate Change, the South has to pay the North for the Illegal Drug Importation Industry.

Imagine what Columbia, Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, etc owes the US, Canada, and Europe. Imagine how their economies have flourished over the last century all from their drug production and exports which has cost our Societies in money and lives.

Now how about that idea for Global Social Justice?

It is logic, which can be proven easier than climate change can be proven, but it doesn't matter, because it doesn't support the woke agenda. The woke will twist it to the North providing a market for the illegal drugs.

Not to be confused with Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere.

Global North and Global South are terms that denote a method of grouping countries based on their defining characteristics with regard to socioeconomics and politics. According to UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Global South broadly comprises Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia (excluding Israel, Japan, and South Korea), and Oceania (excluding Australia and New Zealand).

And then there are all of the Nigerian and other countries where the scams originated to steal .money from us, and then there are the auto theft rings that take stolen vehicles to those countries. So if you add it all up, who really should owe who?

How about everybody just look after themselves and stop blaming someone else for all their problems. If everyone minded their own damn business and stopped trying to be a victim of everything from racism, sexism, climate change and all the other flavors of the month, we'd all be better off because we'd all find a way to improve ourselves. It was that way once but there's less of us who remember that.

Unfortunately, with the woke movement growing, more and more people are looking for someone to blame, or an excuse to be offended.

Elk,

If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride. There never is an end of people squawking loudly, seeking something for free.

Just watch the news about COP 29. The Meeting Chairman is trying to "negotiate" the 1.4 Trillion that the Global South is asking for.

The US Representative who is a Democrat, spoke at the Meeting saying that regardless of the Changes at the Whitehouse the "green movement" should push on by the rest of the World, and Green Transition was inevitable. Of course, 1.4 Trillion would help the "green movement" along, if someone would only send the Money???

Argentina already recalled its representative.

Canada should also.

We can't even afford Canada's real problems, let alone a trough of money for the Global South.

Default Its not the drugs

Addictions are not caused by the drugs. Just give it some thought. Bacteria and viruses cause diseases but not drugs. Some of the drugs that are mentioned are very useful in treating people in pain.

IMO it is the $$$ that helps with these addictions.

I've never seen or heard of an addict who DIDN'T use drugs or drink alcohol prior to becoming addicted.

Perhaps they can account for missing $41 Billion from World Bank. Oxfam reports $41 Billion…..not millions is missing from the world bank. To support climate change. There is no trust. When trust is gone, divorce follows up shortly.
“ There is no clear public record showing where this money went or how it was used, which makes any assessment of its impacts impossible. It also remains unclear whether these funds were even spent on climate-related initiatives intended to help low- and middle-income countries protect people from the impacts of the climate crisis and invest in clean energy”.
