Here in Nepal I have seen zero evidence of anything useful that the UN has done here. People still suffer energy starvation, lack of clean water and proper sewers or sewer treatment, lack of education about real environmental issues like teaching people not to litter etc..
Rather your hard-earned taxes that your government gives to the UN are used for mostly useless Leftist fantasy projects such as:

Yes, and where is the World Bank or the IMF? MIA it appears.

Musings on the POTUS election and the after action situation of the Democratic party.
From a person that hobnobed and worked in DC both in DNC politics and the Pentagon (very low level, but they talk candidly around the help).
The last decade has been extremely lucrative for the political industrial complex.
Just as the last two decades were for the MIC, just counting Afghanistan.
As Pandemic was for BlackRock and Gates.
Give us all your money or you will face terrorists and viruses.
If Donald Trump had not appeared, the DC political industry wouldn’t of dreamed of inventing him.
People are talking about the big cash paid by the Harris campaign to Oprah and Sharpton as if it is an error or a scandal.
This is simply the economic machine that has been purposely evolved.
It may be comparable to the tithing days created by the Medieval Church (until they ran out of calendar days), that Martin Luther complained about.
Only we can save you from the Devil Trump.
Of course, much rebranding is now necessary. But the Church of Holy Progressives will survive.
The Democrats will wail and despair and confab about their ‘failure’ … on the way to the bank and looking at beach front real estate.

‘Give us all your money or you will face terrorists and viruses.’
Sorry correction, should read … ‘print fiat money and assume generational debt that we can turn into real assets before we crash the system and leave the mess for you, or you will face terrorists and viruses.’

Video about how the Jaguar car brand has been destroyed by the Woke Mind Virus. What is it with these marketing clowns, they didn’t take note of what happened to Bud Light?

Video by Styxhexenhammer about how the US Democrat Party is effectively broke and firing most staff and won’t even give them severance pay. And millions were paid to Beyonce and Lizzo because like all Leftists, they refused to volunteer their services for the cause they claimed to believe in.

If they all leave the USA as promised then I hope that they don’t come to Sunny Australia. We have enough clowns here already. They are all in the Feral Guv’ment in CanBrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Plenty in the State Guv’ments as well – Sictoria is a good example.

HELLO BLACKOUTS
Around the Western world subsidised wind and solar have displacing coal and other forms of conventional power from the grids.
This does not cause problems until there is not enough spare capacity to cover breakdowns and extreme weather. In SE Australia We reached that point when Hazelwood closed in 2017.
With further closures and the unscheduled outages this week we have reached a tipping point or a “red zone” where wind and solar inputs have become essential and not just an add-on.
Indeed the average “add on” from wind and solar is now over 44% and rising. However on nights with little or no wind that 44% shrinks to next to nothing.
Over a decade ago independent Australian observers Anton Lang and the Miskelly team looked at the record of wind power generation in the AEMO records and discovered severe “wind droughts” when high pressure systems linger and there is little or no wind across the NEM for periods up to three days.

We have sleep-walked into a “wind drought trap” that will spring every time the wind is low overnight unless we protect every megawatt of coal power we have. That is why the governments in Victoria and NSW are prepared to subsidise the coal burners to keep the lights on. There is no alternative at present and I wish the Liberals would have the wits and the integrity to promise to do the same.
