Thank you again for your inspiration. I had just read how an American in the Air Force doused himself with kerosene in front of the Israeli Embassy in DC in protest of the genocide today. He is in the hospital in severe condition after some police or guards put the fire out on time. The military confirmed he was active duty and he live streamed the protest. That’s really, I don’t know, brave and sad at the same time. I then read how Netanyahu is said he is not backing down and continuing with his invasion in to Rafah and Gaza. Truly Hitlerian and Putin’s best friend. He’s a madman.

The chocolate reference about the global south reminded me of the court case that went before our Supreme Court in 2022, after a decade of litigation costing millions and millions undoubtedly. Two of the biggest agricultural companies in the world, Nestle and Cargill, were “accused” of using child slave labor trafficked from Mali into Ghana (through an intermediary, they buy all the crop from the farmers who do the trafficking). Despicable. The corporations won.
