Why the Left Will Always Eat Its Own

“Leftists with their inherent laziness and parasitism simply do not generate the money/resources necessary to satisfy everyone’s ego about becoming “Assistant Vice Reserve Diversity Director” or “Vice Secretariat of the Communist Central Commission.” All organizations, leftist or not, need a handful of leaders, and at least thrice the workers. But since most leftists’ egos are insatiable, not to mention their biggest and life-dominating fear is work, when the time comes and if necessary they will GLADLY abandon their ideology and throw their “beloved comrade” under the bus. Alas, leftism only really serves as an excuse, a mask, an ideological hide out for the world’s lazy, cowardly, and egotistical. And if faced with the choice of supporting the cause (and working) or murdering the ideological brethren (to avoid work), they will gladly plant daggers in the back of every “fellow leftist.”

European Council President Donald Tusk believes Poland’s future in the European Union could be in jeopardy over the country’s many disputes with the EU.
[…]
“It smells like an introduction to an announcement that Poland does not need the European Union and that Poland is not needed for the EU,” Tusk told reporters Thursday in Warsaw after testifying in a court case, the EUobserver reports. “I am afraid we are closer to that moment.”

It’s good when they’re afraid.

Maths Is Hard

Apparently, it’s “unfair” to hold all students to the same standards of proficiency, as this oppresses women. Or at least it oppresses feminists. And so mathematics must be corrected with “intersectionality theory” and lots of fretting about “whiteness” and “identity.” And the best way to teach engineering is to waste class time with lots of “social justice” hokum.

One of these.

Alberta Appeals Redwater Decision

Via Oilprice;

The bankruptcy of a small Canadian oil and gas company in 2015 and the following creditor claims have created a legal dispute over who should pay for abandoned wells and whether creditors should have priority over environmental cleanup in case of energy bankruptcies. The oil and gas industry is closely watching the lawsuit–which ended up at Canada’s Supreme Court last month–because it could set precedents for orphan wells remediation and who will pick up the tab.
The Supreme Court is likely to hear the case because a small company bankruptcy has become a major issue of federal insolvency laws and provincial energy regulations, according to legal experts.
[…]
If the Supreme Court hears the case, and if it sides with the previous court rulings, the AER may have to increase the orphan levy it charges from well licensees. But if Canada’s top court reverts the decision and potentially saddles lenders with liabilities of bankrupt companies, banks may start to price in that risk and charge more for extending loans to the oil industry.
