Textbook Definition of an Urban Bigot

Jen Gennai is a well paid senior employee at Google. She epitomizes the term “urban bigot”:

If she was REALLY concerned with the employment opportunities of “underprivileged minorities”, that she purports to be deeply concerned about, why doesn’t she immediately resign and insist that a black trans paraplegic two-spirit he/she/they be her replacement? Asking for a friend.

Inconvenient History

Given the West’s nearly exclusive focus on the trans-Atlantic slave trade these days, slavery in the muslim world, which predated the Western experience by hundreds of years, doesn’t get much attention. But that was the reality for every society until the development of the division of labor and industrial capitalism.

“This Trans-Saharan Slave Trade is easily overlooked thanks to its more famous Atlantic cousin, but the exchange of unfree people across the desert was a longer lasting and possibly larger system that deserves much ore attention.”

Another inconvenient truth was that the slave trade could not have existed without the cooperation of African kingdoms which viewed peripheral tribes as fair game.

 

There is No Strong Business Case for Canadian LNG

Bloomberg;

Qatar is unwavering in its view that the world isn’t investing enough in natural gas. And the tiny Middle Eastern nation is trying to fix that.

State-owned QatarEnergy said Sunday it will develop a 16 million-ton-a-year LNG export project by the end of the decade. That’s on top of its previously announced record-breaking expansion plans.

Altogether, the Gulf state will boost shipments of liquefied natural gas by more than 80% by 2030.

The move illustrates the nation’s conviction that demand for gas, especially in Asia, will continue rising even as the world shifts to renewables. That’s at odds with organizations such as the International Energy Agency, which sees global consumption peaking this decade.
