could you give us a rundown on project nova please!! i'm so curious what it's about you make it look so fun 🤍

oh absolutely i can (i will take any excuse to talk about my ocs)

project nova is a slightly dystopian fiction story/comic set in Nova, a city somewhere near what was once the U.S.-Canada border. due to uprisings and international turmoil (along with increasingly harsh climate change disasters) that destroyed the previous countries where it stands, Nova is broken into four different classes (kind of like, big labor unions) that specialize in different areas needed for a city to thrive. each class has its own rules and regulations for their members, some are stricter than others, etc. these are:

Technics: industrial, mechanical, infrastructure, urban planning

Astutes: medical, scientific research, education

Executives: company administration, police enforcement, distribution and manufacturing operations

Laymen: other roles for either private or public sector, can be baristas, office workers, farmers, etc.

there are 6 main-ish characters:

August Anderson - Layman barista/skilled thief taking jobs from the underground illicit market

Maple Fernsby - Technic who owns a small mechanic shop in uptown Nova

Beau Jones - recent graduate from the Astute academy focusing on virology research for therapeutics

Amelie Hargraves - an apprentice Exec operative with a strange ability to influence memories and manipulate deceased souls

Rowan Sawkins - estranged youngest son of the affluent Sawkins Exec family, who's bad falling-out led him to join the Astutes as a physician

Rosie - the western sector resistance leader unaffiliated with any class and wants to get out of the city by any means necessary, and take as many people as possible with her

the main story follows August, who's close friends with Beau and Maple living in the outskirts of the inner city. chance lands him to meet Rowan, a physician that works with Beau and who ends up saving August's life after a job gone wrong. on the other side of the city, Amelie is taken in by the Execs after finding out she has an almost supernatural ability to manipulate memories, which they see as an incredible asset. after a combined agreement between the Execs and the Astutes leads to Rowan's manipulation into a pawn for a mysterious plan called Project Nova, the 6 chars' lives now get tangled together as they all pursue conflicting goals

at least, that's the basic rundown !! most everything i draw or post about takes place before or slightly after this exposition dump, who knows if ill ever get around to either writing and/or drawing this story in the first place. mostly they're just my ocs that i will draw situations for, small skits, stuff like that. none of this is set in stone it changes all of the time and ill probably retcon half of it later but for now this is what i have

Morning Mantra: “Some miracles are just good people with kind hearts.”

With all the devastation from the hurricanes and wild fires recently I am reminded that a person’s most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge, but a heart full of love, an ear ready to listen, and a hand willing to help.

As tragic as the situation is, it is heart-warming to see accounts of those that are helping. From the helpers creating donation drives, to those delivering the goods, to those sorting them and distributing them. To mule trains and rescues- both human and animal, and to those tasked with recovery. To the businesses offering free meals, and places to stay. To people offering up their campers as housing, and to farmers from other states driving truckloads of hay and feed for the livestock.

Let's not forget the professional helpers such as linemen, the first responders, the nurses and doctors, therapists, and the government employees from the National Guard , the SBA and FEMA. As well as the organizations such as the Red Cross, Samaritan's Purse, World Kitchen, BStrong, and so many more. They may be trained on how these disasters work, but no human soul is prepared for what they are encountering day in and day out.

Don't feel like you are not a helper if all you can offer right now is a prayer. Every positive thought creates more positive energy which lifts the collective vibration. So pray, meditate and lift them all up.

Be the reason someone believes in miracles. Be the reason someone keeps going. Be the kindness. Be the love.

The Future of the Internet: How STON.fi and Web3 Are Changing the Game

When I first heard about Web3, I’ll admit, I was a little confused. The words sounded futuristic, like something only tech experts could understand. But the truth is, Web3 is already here, and it's shaping the way we interact online—whether we realize it or not. Let me break it down in a way that makes sense and explain how STON.fi is making it all happen.

What is Web3, and Why Should You Care

Web3 is like the next chapter of the internet. It’s different from the internet we use now (Web2), where we rely on companies like Facebook, Google, and banks to manage our online lives. Imagine you’re at a store, and you need a middleman to help you make a simple purchase. That’s how things work in Web2. In Web3, you cut out the middleman—everything happens directly between you and others, without anyone else getting in the way.

So, why should you care? Because Web3 puts you in control. You own your data, your digital assets, and you’re not depending on anyone else to handle your business. This is empowering for anyone who’s tired of big companies controlling what they can and can’t do online.

The Blockchain: The Technology Behind Web3

Okay, now let’s talk about blockchain—the technology that makes Web3 work. You can think of blockchain as a big, public ledger. Imagine a giant notebook where everyone in the network can write down transactions. Once something’s written, it can’t be erased or changed. This is great because it keeps things transparent and trustworthy.

In Web2, companies like banks or social media platforms are in charge of keeping track of everything. But with blockchain, that control is distributed. Everyone can check the transactions, and no one can change the history. It’s like the difference between having a personal notebook that only you can read, versus a public notebook that everyone can see and verify.

TON Blockchain: Why It’s Perfect for Web3

Now that you know what Web3 and blockchain are, let’s talk about TON (The Open Network)—the blockchain that powers STON.fi. Think of TON as a fast, smooth highway that lets you travel from one place to another without roadblocks. While older blockchains can get bogged down with traffic, TON handles things quickly and efficiently, making it perfect for fast and secure transactions.

The best part? TON is scalable. This means as more people join, the network stays strong and doesn’t slow down. So, whether you’re making a small transfer or a large one, TON ensures everything runs smoothly.

STON.fi: A Decentralized Exchange That Puts You First

Now, here’s where things get really interesting. STON.fi is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that runs on the TON blockchain. If you've ever used an exchange to trade crypto, you know there's usually a middleman—a company that facilitates the trade for you. But with STON.fi, you’re not relying on anyone else to make the trade. You’re directly interacting with other users, which keeps things fast and affordable.

Using STON.fi is like buying directly from a farmer at a market instead of going through a grocery store. You don’t need a middleman, and because of that, fees are much lower. You keep more of your money, and the whole process is more transparent.

Why Web3 and STON.fi Matter for You

So why should you care about STON.fi and Web3? The answer is simple: control. Web3 is all about giving you more ownership over your online life. When you use STON.fi, you don’t have to worry about someone else holding your money or making decisions for you. Everything is decentralized, meaning you have full control.

Here are some ways STON.fi gives you more power:

You’re in control of your assets: No more relying on third parties to store or protect your money. You manage it all.

Lower fees: Without middlemen, trading on STON.fi costs less.

More opportunities: By providing liquidity, you can earn passive income while helping the platform grow.

It’s a system that values your autonomy, and with STON.fi, it’s easy to be a part of it.

How You Can Start Using STON.fi

Getting started with STON.fi is simple. Whether you’re new to crypto or you’ve been trading for a while, the platform is designed to be user-friendly. It’s built on the TON blockchain, so you can expect fast transactions and low fees.

If you’re already familiar with other decentralized platforms, you’ll feel right at home using STON.fi. But even if you’re just getting started, you don’t need to be an expert. The platform makes it easy to jump in, and there’s a community ready to support you along the way.

Web3 is Here, and It’s Changing the Way We Live Online

Web3 is not some far-off, futuristic idea—it’s happening right now. And platforms like STON.fi are leading the way. They’re helping to create a world where we can all be in charge of our own online lives. With decentralization, transparency, and security, Web3 is set to change everything, from how we manage our money to how we interact with others online.

So, what’s the takeaway? If you haven’t already, it’s time to start paying attention to Web3 and STON.fi. These technologies aren’t just for the tech-savvy; they’re for everyone who wants more control and better options in their digital life. The future is decentralized, and it’s happening today.

By embracing Web3 and STON.fi, you’re stepping into a future where you are in control of your digital world—no middlemen, no hidden fees, just transparency and freedom.

THROWING KYIV UNDER THE TRACTOR: In a major cave-in to Europe’s farming lobby, EU countries overnight agreed to impose restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural sales, dealing a significant blow to its exports.

Less revenue for Kyiv: This retreat ahead of this week’s EU leaders’ summit (for which farmers are descending on Brussels again) paves the way for a deal with the European Parliament today to partly roll back Kyiv’s trade benefits, officials and diplomats told Playbook. That’s expected to result in a revenue loss of more than €1 billion a year for the war-struck country.

Masks off: At last night’s meeting of the 27 government envoys, France came out in support of Poland, asking for a limit on imports of Ukrainian poultry, eggs, sugar and wheat, according to two people briefed on the discussion.

Strategic yogurt, revisited: Just as Macron stressed France’s no-holds-barred support for Ukraine, the pitchfork-wielding farmers have blown a hole into his “whatever it takes” soufflé.

Signal to Russia: Vladimir Putin can rely on European agri-food groups to do his lobbying for him. Russia’s full supermarket shelves — heaving with EU products — have been one of the regime’s go-to arguments to show Russia is winning the war.

Contradictory policy: This isn’t the first time the EU bowed to its agri sector when it comes to Russia’s war on Ukraine. While Russian-flagged ships are banned from EU ports, there’s an exemption for those carrying Russian fertilizers and pesticides. In previous decisions, the EU also rolled back asset freezes against Russian oligarchs involved in the agri-food trade.

The argument, back then, was that tougher restrictions on Russian fertilizers would lead to higher food prices in Europe. But that’s exactly what restrictions on imports from Ukraine will also do.

HAPPENING TODAY: The Belgian Council presidency and MEPs will meet this evening for negotiations on the new restrictions. Parliament has also asked for a lower ceiling at which the restrictions will kick in, as my colleagues Camille Gijs and Bartosz Brzeziński report in this must-read.

WINNERS AND LOSERS: Take a moment to appreciate the farming lobby’s political feat. Sky-high energy prices, a narrowly averted winter heating crisis, an influx of millions of refugees and Putin’s nuclear saber-rattling didn’t undermine EU will to support Ukraine — but farmers successfully convinced leaders to U-turn on policies aimed at supporting Kyiv’s income.

Winners: EU agricultural groups, who get to have their cake and eat it. After a host of measures meant to lower their production costs (such as derogations from environmental rules and the reintroduction of fossil fuel subsidies), they will now get measures to shield them from competition and increase their sales prices.

Also a winner: Russia. Today’s decision doesn’t just mean a revenue loss for Ukraine; it proves that EU leaders’ support for Ukraine caves under interest group pressure.

Losers: Ukrainian farmers, who look set to forgo some €1.2 billion a year in sales to the EU. And European consumers, who will get even less supply and choice, which could again drive up food price inflation.

BLAME IT ON THE ELECTION YEAR: Asked why they caved in, senior officials blamed their leaders’ fear that the farmers’ protests could fuel new populist parties, such as the BBB in the Netherlands.

But there are other ways to placate them: As some EU officials stressed, countries could help the majority of farmers simply by distributing subsidies more fairly. Some 80 percent of the EU’s direct farm subsidies go to the 20 percent biggest farms, according to the Commission.

Rising Waters, Rising Spirits: America's Flood Resilience Unveiled

In the heart of America's heartland, a battle against nature's fury unfolds. As relentless rains pound the Midwest, rivers swell beyond their banks, transforming peaceful communities into waterlogged war zones. But amidst the chaos, a story of human resilience emerges, one that captures the indomitable spirit of those facing the flood's wrath. The Mississippi River, once a lifeline for commerce and travel, now threatens the very towns it helped build. In Iowa, sandbag walls rise like modern fortifications, with neighbors working shoulder to shoulder to protect their homes. The scene is both heartbreaking and inspiring – a testament to the power of community in the face of adversity. Further south, in Missouri, entire neighborhoods have become impromptu islands. Residents navigate flooded streets in kayaks and makeshift rafts, their determination evident in every paddle stroke. Local authorities work tirelessly, coordinating evacuations and ensuring the safety of those most vulnerable. But it's not just about survival; it's about adaptation. Farmers in the region, faced with submerged fields, are already planning for the future. They speak of resilient crops and innovative drainage systems, their voices filled with hope rather than despair. The flood's impact extends beyond the immediate disaster zone. Supply chains across the nation feel the ripple effects as vital transportation routes are disrupted. Yet, in true American fashion, businesses large and small are finding creative solutions, rerouting shipments and collaborating in unprecedented ways. As the waters begin to recede, the focus shifts to recovery. FEMA teams descend on affected areas, armed with digital tools to assess damage and streamline aid distribution. Their efforts are bolstered by an army of volunteers, many traveling from across the country to lend a hand. The road to recovery will be long, but the spirit of those affected remains unbroken. In town halls and community centers, plans for rebuilding are already taking shape. There's talk of improved flood defenses, smarter urban planning, and a renewed commitment to environmental stewardship. This flood is more than a natural disaster; it's a reminder of our collective strength and the power of human compassion. As one local resident put it, "The water may have taken our homes, but it can't take our hope."

Message from the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador on the 85th anniversary of the expropriation of the country’s oil industry.

Rally held on Saturday, March 18, in Mexico City’s Zócalo square.

PRESIDENT ANDRÉS MANUEL LÓPEZ OBRADOR: Friends:

 This is a commemoration of the expropriation of the oil industry and it is a national event. Participating here today are residents of Aguascalientes, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Campeche, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Coahuila, Colima, Durango, State of Mexico, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Jalisco, Chiapas, Chiapas, Chiapas, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Coahuila, Colima, Durango, State of Mexico, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Michoacán, Morelos, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, San Luis Potosí, Sinaloa, Sonora, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Veracruz, Yucatán, and Zacatecas.

 Long live Mexico!

 Friends:

 Unlike Francisco I. Madero, who, in order to realize his beautiful democratic ideal could not or did not consider it indispensable to strengthen his ties with the people, especially with the Zapatista peasants, General Lázaro Cárdenas did not hesitate to rely on those from below to make his transformation a reality.

 The general's strategy can be summarized in three important and consecutive actions:

 First, he distributed land to the peasant farmers and helped the workers.

 Then, he helped them organize.

 And, finally, with this social base he was able to carry out the expropriation of the oil industry and other national assets that Porfirio Díaz had handed over to private interests, mainly foreigners.

 The top priority of the Cardenista strategy was to attend to the economic and social demands of peasant farmers and workers. The president knew that the only way to gain the backing of the people was to act decisively in favor of their demands. Consequently, from the beginning of his government, a program of land distribution was launched; the peasant farmers mobilized throughout the country requesting that they be given land through the expropriation of large estates or providing them with deeds for state land.

 In a short time, the distribution of land to peasant farmers transformed the structure of Mexican agriculture. The revolutionary importance of the Cardenista land distribution policies can be measured with a key piece of data. In the first three years of his administration, 9,764,000 hectares were given to 565,216 peasants, which vastly surpassed the amount of land that had been distributed since the Revolution.

 By the end of Cardenas’ administration, 10,651 ejidos (1) had been established, comprising a total of more than 18 million hectares and benefiting more than one million indigenous families, impoverished peasant farmers, and rural day laborers.

 The peasants unquestionably saw Cárdenas to be a faithful representative of the revolutionary cause. The agrarian reform ensured the loyalty of many people to the Cardenista government and from that point the alliance between peasant farmers and the State was established.

 At the same time, during the Cárdenas years, workers felt that their labor rights were guaranteed. With strict adherence to the law, Cárdenas respected the economic struggle of workers for better wages and working conditions. His measures in this field consisted of making the formal content of Constitutional Article 123 (2) a reality.

 From the beginning of his government, the labor movement began engaging in intense activity aimed at winning its demands; it was even able to freely exercise the right to strike.

 By the middle of the president’s six-year term in office, peasant farmers and workers identified Cárdenas as the defender of their interests. The first part of Cardenas' strategy had been successful; the President's approach and solidarity with the most vulnerable social groups resulted in the support and adhesion of the majority to the government's policies.

 The political organization of workers and peasant farmers as a second link in the Cardenista strategy also developed with intensity and enthusiasm.

 First, most of the national industrial unions were established. The Mexican Workers’ Confederation, the CTM, was founded on February 24, 1936. Although the organization's declaration of principles stated, and I quote, that 'the Mexican proletariat will fundamentally fight for the total abolition of the capitalist system,' its leaders accepted the president's proposal and agreed on the need to first achieve the country’s political and economic liberation. In accordance with these principles, the workers' movement resolutely supported the government in its struggle for national sovereignty.

 On July 9, 1935, President Cárdenas recommended that the organization of Mexico's peasant farmers take place. With this in mind, the agrarian community leagues were created in all states of the country and their integration with the unions of rural wage earners resulted in the establishment of the National Peasant Confederation, the CNC.

 The organization and political mobilization of the masses made it possible to advance in the aim of asserting our country’s economic independence, and thus with the expropriation of the oil companies, national assets and resources that had been in the hands of foreigners since the Porfiriato (3) began to be returned to the nation.

 This strategy could not have succeeded without the exceptional qualities of a noble and just man such as General Lázaro Cárdenas del Río.

 Politics is not only rationality, but also, like other activities in life, requires mystique and convictions. Political processes are more complex than what rationalist intellectuals assume; political processes also involve factors such as luck, the brilliance of leaders and the sentiments of the people.

 General Cárdenas, unlike careerist or elite politicians, professed a sincere and deep love for the people. Just as there is no one with the democratic aspiration of Madero, neither has there ever existed in Mexico a president as close to the downtrodden or as convinced of the cause of social justice as General Cárdenas.

For example, in 1935, when he was already president, already in power, Cárdenas wrote the following in his notes:

 'To put an end to the miseries experienced by the people is above all other interests'.

 And he maintained: 'Living amid the needs and anguish of the people, one will easily find the way to remedy them'.

 Although he also confessed that he had been able to see the true moral background of many public servants. 'When I observe in their faces the disgust sparked by the poor peoples’ demand for assistance or justice, then I think more,' he lamented, 'of the endless tragedy of our own people.’

 For young people who want to devote themselves to the noble profession of politics, what is most important is love for the people.

 In addition to being a true humanist and possessing other virtues, General Cárdenas knew how to navigate his times with precision. Politics, among other things, is time management, a question that is usually essential and defining.

 A few days before announcing the expropriation of the oil industry, he wrote in his notes that, on the highway near Cuernavaca, he’d walked and talked for more than an hour with his teacher, friend and compañero, General Francisco J. Múgica. I’d like to quote General Cárdenas when he says:

 'We considered the circumstances that could arise if governments such as those of England and the United States, interested in backing the oil companies, pressured the Mexican government with violent measures. But we also took into account that the threat of a new world war is already present due to the provocations of Nazi-fascist imperialism, and that this would stop them from attacking Mexico in the event that the expropriation was decreed.'

 Among other reasons, and taking advantage of this circumstance, on March 18, 1938, the oil industry expropriation was launched. At eight o'clock in the evening, General Cárdenas informed his cabinet of this historic decision and, two hours later, in a radio address to the nation he announced the step taken by the government in defense of Mexico’s sovereignty, returning to the nation the oil wealth that, as the General himself wrote, 'imperialist capital had been utilizing to keep the country humiliated.'

 In four articles, the expropriation decree establishes that the following assets would become assets of the nation: machinery, installations and other fixtures and property of the foreign oil companies, for which compensation would be paid in accordance with Article 27 of the Constitution and the corresponding law.

 The oil expropriation was supported by the majority of the people. Photos of the time show the presence of predominantly humble people, indigenous men and women, peasant farmers, workers, teachers, employees, and members of the lower middle class.

 It was the common people who supported and cooperated with the government to raise the compensation due to the foreign oil companies. How could we forget that so many poor women donated goats and turkeys for this purpose and even got rid of the meager jewelry they owned!

 In those days, from the city of Oakland, California, migrant worker Cástulo Prado composed the lyrics and music of the Corrido del Petróleo and sent it to the president with the instruction that the government allocate any royalties from the work to the compensation fund. One of its verses reads as follows:

 'Lázaro Cárdenas says, serene and carefree: in the course of 10 years, everything will be paid, I have the Mexican people of which I have no doubt. From the youngest to the oldest, they all offer me their help. In the Mexican woman there is patriotism and pride, she gives up her jewelry to offer them for coins.'

 In addition to this massive and overwhelming popular support, the Cárdenas government had another favorable circumstance. At that time Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a great statesman and one of the finest presidents that country has ever had in its history, was governing the United States. Let’s recall that when Roosevelt entered the White House on March 4, 1933, the United States was experiencing one of the worst crises in its history and that, as president, Roosevelt knew how to deal with that crisis successfully and very soon restored hope to his people, which made him one of the greatest politicians of the 20th century.

 As for his foreign policy, let’s recall that, in a memorable speech, which is the antecedent of the principles of the UN, on January 6, 1941, Roosevelt laid out four basic freedoms for the world: the right to freedom of speech, the right to freedom of worship, the right to live free from want, and the right to live free from fear.

 Roosevelt's presidency applied the ‘good neighbor policy’ with the countries of the Western Hemisphere. At that moment, the principles of economic and political cooperation were defined, the sovereignty of Cuba and Panama was recognized, and the U.S. military withdrawal from Nicaragua and Haiti was ordered. It is not by chance that the great poet Pablo Neruda called Roosevelt a titan of the struggles for freedoms, a tremendous president.

 The authenticity of his good neighbor policy was most clearly demonstrated in the respect for the sovereignty of our country. During Roosevelt's three presidential terms, relations between Mexico and the United States were exceptionally good.

 In the days following the oil industry expropriation, General Cárdenas acknowledged Roosevelt’s role in a letter:

 'My government’ -wrote the general- ‘feels that the attitude assumed by the United States of America, in the case of the expropriation of the oil companies, once again affirms the sovereignty of the peoples of this hemisphere that the statesman of the most powerful country in the Americas, the most esteemed President Roosevelt, has been supporting with such effort'.

 Cástulo Prado, the poet we have already quoted, a people’s poet, also left testimony of the upright attitude, the grandeur, and the respect shown by the president of the neighboring country. Cástulo's verses read:

 'The millionaires asked for intervention. They went to the United States to lodge their complaint  -it looks to us, it looks to us, it looks to us- they went to the United States to lodge their complaint so that from there they would move to protect their companies. Roosevelt told them: 'Gentlemen, I can do nothing about it, the Mexican government has fulfilled its duty.'

 The good results of this policy had much to do with the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Joseph Daniels, who acted with wisdom and skill in the most difficult years of relations between the two countries. His position on the oil conflict is summarized when he maintained that President Cárdenas was right in promoting the policy that the wealth of the subsoil should become part of the Mexican economy and that the oil crisis was due to the systematic refusal of foreign companies to modify their vision, since, Daniels pointed out, they felt that Mexicans were born to enrich foreigners and that God placed important natural resources in Mexico to increase the fortunes found in the coffers of the exploiters and concession holders.

 But the companies were not as conscientious and respectful as U.S. politicians. The nationalization process had to confront the boycott, pressures, and acts of sabotage promoted and financed by the foreign oil companies.

 In Mexico, the oil industry expropriation caused deep uneasiness among a minority, especially among the wealthy of the time, in middle-class sectors, and in most of the media.

 It is interesting, and this is a lesson, to point out that historically the right wing always regroups when a democratic change is sought and becomes intolerant and even violent when it comes to social demands in favor of the people and the nation asserting its control.

 Let us remember that the overthrow of President Madero, our Apostle of Democracy, was backed by the intervention of the U.S. Ambassador, but was carried out by domestic right-wing groups which had previously promoted a campaign of hate and discredit consisting of ridiculing the President, President Madero, in the newspapers to the point of treating him as a madman and a spiritualist.

 The same thing happened when the expropriation, although it did not directly affect national private interests, served to bring together all the discontent of conservative groups opposed to the agrarian, labor, and educational policies of General Cárdenas.

 In this climate, on September 17, 1939, the National Action Party was founded. It was founded as a reaction to the oil industry expropriation. I say this here in the Zócalo because I am not lying, I am speaking the truth.

 In 1940, all these reactionary trends manifested themselves very strongly in the presidential election. The right-wing opposition was such that General Cárdenas had to act cautiously, and possibly that influenced him to support the candidacy of Manuel Ávila Camacho and not that of General Francisco J. Múgica, with whom he had more ideological affinity and who represented a greater certainty of continuity and deepening of the social and nationalist policy.

 It has always been said that the general did not choose Múgica because of the risk of foreign intervention. However, as we have seen, at that time Roosevelt, who had demonstrated his respect for national sovereignty, was governing and World War II was about to break out, a situation that contributed to dissipating the threat of a U.S. intervention.

 In my opinion, what most influenced the decision was the internal political circumstances, that is, the belligerence of the right-wing groups. Remember that, even though he’d decided in favor of the candidacy of Manuel Avila Camacho, who held moderate positions, the presidential election was complicated and violent.

 The opposition candidate, Juan Andreu Almazán, had the support of important right-wing groups and a sector of the Army. Even the PAN, which did not run a candidate for the presidency, openly supported him.

 At the end of the day, 30 dead and 127 wounded were reported. However, shortly after, Almazán gave in and his supporters, businessmen and right-wing politicians came to an understanding and made a pact for concessions and benefits with the new Ávila Camacho administration.

 From then on, the authentic revolutionary ideal and actions for the benefit of the people began to be abandoned, although it must be acknowledged that this alliance between political and economic power perhaps avoided civil war and maintained social peace.

 If under Porfirio Díaz, the peace of the graveyard prevailed, after President Cárdenas’ government, the peace of compromises and corruption was established.

 In this brief history there are major lessons, the main one being that only with the people, only with the support of the majority, can a popular transformation be carried out to enforce justice and confront the reactionaries who oppose the loss of privileges.

 For this reason, today we once again declare, we exclaim from the rooftops: no zigzagging, let us remain anchored in our principles, let us reaffirm the decision and the course we have taken since the administration began. No half measures: we in Mexico will never allow a minority to impose itself at the expense of the humiliation and impoverishment of the majority.

 That is why, in our government, corruption is being fought. There is an austere government, without luxuries, and all the savings are used to finance well-being programs, such as pensions for the elderly, support for people with disabilities, single mothers, peasant farmers and fishermen, scholarships for students from poor families, Internet for All, housing improvement and construction programs, collateral-free loans, fertilizer, and guaranteed prices for the country's small producers, the Bank of Well-Being, the promotion of education and universal and free public health care.

 This year more than 25 million people will receive direct support totaling 600 billion pesos (4). In other words, out of 35 million households in the country, 71 percent will receive the benefits of at least one of the social programs.

 With this policy of attention to the neediest, the most vulnerable, and especially to young people, we have also been able to reduce federal crimes by 33 percent, homicides by 10 percent, vehicle theft by 38 percent, general robberies by 20 percent, huachicol (5) by 92 percent, femicides by 28 percent, and kidnappings by 76 percent.

 By the same token, the savings from not allowing corruption or budgetary waste have enabled us to avoid contracting more debt. We have not requested additional debt since we have been in office.

 And at the same time, without increasing the public debt in real terms, taxes have not been increased, the price of gasoline, diesel, gas, and electricity have not risen. There has even been a decrease in the price of these energy resources.

 There has also been an increase in public investment, as has not occurred in many years. This year we will spend more than one trillion pesos (6) on public work projects. That is, we will continue building highways, bridges, trains, airports, hospitals, universities, markets, sports facilities, seawalls, and natural, recreational, and ecological parks.

 And we are carrying out something very important: an extensive project to recover and restore historical and archeological sites of our ancient and splendid cultures and civilizations.

 Public finances are strong, the national economy is booming. Last year the Mexican economy grew even more than the economies of China and the United States.

 There are an unprecedented 21,747,000 workers enrolled in the health system. This figure of 21,747,000 workers in the formal economy has never been reached before.

 In addition, an average wage of 525 pesos (7) per day has been achieved for these workers in the formal economy, something that had never occurred before.

 The unemployment rate last January was 2.9 percent, the lowest since 2005.

 We are carrying out public work projects. Right here we are refurbishing the Metro line that collapsed.

 We are, of course, building the Toluca-Mexico City train line, the Maya Train, the Transisthmic Train and many, many other public works projects.

 What is happening?

 After many years, we managed to get the United States to offer temporary work visas. Canada was already doing this and the United States did not accept it. Now with President Biden’s change of policy it was achieved, but they are taking skilled workers, ironworkers, welders, who are needed here for the works projects. We are going to make a small modification, because Mexico comes first and then foreign countries, but this shows how much demand there is for jobs in the country.

 During the time we have been in office, the minimum wage has increased by 90 percent in real terms, and on the border it has more than doubled.

 Do you remember what the lying technocrats used to say? That if wages were increased, there would be inflation. That's all a bunch of nonsense. That is not true. Of course, we have to improve wages responsibly, to strengthen the domestic market, as we are doing, and thus achieve well-being for our people.

 The stock market, corporate and bank profits are posting good numbers.

 The Banco de México’s reserves have increased by 15 percent, 200 billion dollars in bank reserves.

 Foreign investment has climbed to previously unseen figures.

 This has also occurred with remittances from our migrant countrymen and women. Thank you very much, fellow countrymen and women. Last year these remittances practically reached 60 billion dollars; this year they are going to exceed 60 billion dollars.

 This is very important, because this money gets to the most remote communities, to 10 million families who benefit from them, and with this money the regional economy, commerce and other economic activities are reactivated.

 It is also important to emphasize that the peso is the currency that has most appreciated in the world in relation to the dollar, something that has not occurred for more than 50 years.

 We have also directed our resources and efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency and energy self-sufficiency. In the latter, as reported here by the Ministry of Energy and the Director of Pemex, we can be certain that oil sovereignty is being guaranteed. Next year we will not be buying gasoline, diesel or other oil products abroad; we will be processing all of our raw materials.

 The Federal Electricity Commission, the public company in charge of managing the electricity industry, has been strengthened.

 And recently lithium, a strategic mineral used in manufacturing batteries for electric cars and storage systems for clean energy, was nationalized.

 It fills me with pride to be able to recall -I apologize for taking so long, but I am about to finish- it fills me with pride to be able to recall today, March 18, that, despite the policy of granting concessions that prevailed before we came into office, we were able to remove a long chapter from the Free Trade Agreement that compromised our oil and put in its place a small paragraph, which I am going to read to you.

 It says: 'The United States and Canada recognize that Mexico reserves its sovereign right to reform its Constitution and domestic legislation, and Mexico has the direct, inalienable, and imprescriptible ownership of all hydrocarbons in the subsoil of the national territory.'

 My friends:

 I am convinced that we will continue to receive the support of the people to consolidate the first stage in the transformation of our country.

 I am also convinced that whichever candidate wins the poll to become the candidate of our movement will apply the same policy in favor of the people and in favor of the nation.

 Continuity with change is assured. There is nothing to fear. Of course, we have to remain united, always looking towards the future and the happiness of our fellow men and women. This means working from below and with the people, and without neglecting the strategy that we rightly call the revolution of consciences to keep advancing in the change of mentality so as to continue politicizing our people and thus have an increasingly aware population. In this we have made considerable progress, as Mexico is one of the countries with the least political illiteracy in the world.

 With that awareness we will continue, with that collective consciousness we will continue to counteract the dirty war, the slander campaigns and the attempts at manipulation that will continue to be waged, because our adversaries and their media, sold out, rented or in the hands of the members of the conservative and corrupt block, have no other choice. But at the same time we must have faith in the wisdom and loyalty of the people, the people do not betray.

 Let’s recall that the victory of the reactionaries, as Juarez said, is morally impossible. We are finding that the idea and practice of exalting Mexican humanism is electrifying and is reaching the consciousness of millions of people. I base my optimism on this.

 And even though it is more dangerous to underestimate the strength of one’s adversaries than to overestimate it in politics, I maintain that no matter what they do, the oligarchs will not return to power; an authentic and true democracy will continue to prevail in our beloved Mexico.

Friends:

 I cannot fail to mention that in the past few days some U.S. legislators, accustomed to seeing the mote in their brother's eye, but not seeing the beam in their own, in a propaganda ploy -we would say here in colloquial language grilla or intrigue- and for electoral, politicking purposes, argued that, if we did not stop the trafficking of fentanyl to the northern border, that they were going to propose to the Congress of their country that U.S. soldiers occupy our territory to confront organized crime.

 First, I want to make it clear that this is no longer the time of Calderón or García Luna, that this is no longer the time of shady links between the Mexican government and U.S. government agencies. Now there is no simulation, organized and white-collar crime is truly being fought, because there is no corruption, no impunity, and there are no complicit relationships with anyone.

 But what is most important is that from here, from this Zócalo square, the political and cultural heart of Mexico, we remind those hypocritical and irresponsible politicians that Mexico is an independent and free country, not a colony or a protectorate of the United States, and that they can threaten to perpetrate any offense, but we will never, ever allow them to violate our sovereignty and trample on the dignity of our homeland.

 Cooperation yes, submission no; interventionism no.

UBS and Santander’s ‘green’ bonds linked to deforesters and rancher accused of slave labour in Brazil

The European banks UBS and Santander have raised hundreds of millions of pounds of “green” bonds that were partly intended for farmers and ranchers accused of environmental and human rights abuses in Brazil, an Unearthed and O Joio e O Trigo investigation has found.

Among those linked to the bonds are a farmer who allegedly held five labourers in “slave-like” conditions, a soy company identified as the biggest deforester in Brazil’s Cerrado savannah, a cattle rancher fined for preventing the regeneration of 17 sq km of Amazon rainforest, and an ethanol producer that poisoned a river relied on by an Indigenous community.

This influx of cash was made possible by financial tools called CRAs. As bonds specifically linked to Brazilian agribusiness, CRAs are little-known outside the country – neither Bloomberg nor Refinitiv, the London Stock Exchange’s financial data platform, track them in detail. CRAs comprise a relatively small proportion of Brazil’s total agribusiness funding, but are growing rapidly: the amount of capital they have raised has soared more than 500% over the past five years from R$7bn (£1.15bn) in 2018 to almost R$43bn (£7.1bn) in 2022, according to Uqbar, a Brazilian market intelligence company. 

A CRA is a special type of asset backed security that may be issued by a company or individual who commits to invest the money in agribusiness. The role of the coordinating banks is to define the price of the bonds and sell them to investors. For this, the coordinating banks receive a fee, usually 3% to 5% of the total offer, which they divide among themselves. 

“The CRA is gaining traction and becoming an important instrument [of agribusiness’ financing]”, said Juliano Assunção, executive-director of the Climate Policy Initiative, a public policy think tank.

The legal reforms that allowed CRAs to proliferate were initially touted as supporting small-scale, sustainable farmers, and were well received by groups including WWF and the Climate Bonds Initiative. In practice, however, this market has been led by Brazil’s livestock industry giants JBS, Marfrig and Minerva, which have been repeatedly linked to Amazon deforestation. Most recently, in August, Santander helped coordinate one of the year’s largest CRAs, a R$1.5bn (£240mn) bond for JBS. 

As an Unearthed investigation can reveal for the first time, even CRAs distributed to investors by UBS and Santander and marketed as “green” have been destined for farmers and companies that are being investigated for their roles in socio-environmental disasters, large-scale deforestation, land grabbing, and slave labour. 

“I think the term greenwashing is too weak… These are alleged human rights abuses,” Alex Wijeratna, senior director of Mighty Earth, told Unearthed.

The plight of low-income groups and laborers Vietnam, as an emerging market economy in Southeast Asia, has achieved significant economic growth in recent years. However, along with economic growth comes a series of social problems, particularly the irrationality of fiscal and tax policies and neglect of people's livelihood welfare, which has led to the plight of low-income groups and laborers. There is a glaring inequality in Vietnam's tax system. High-income individuals and large enterprises often find ways to evade taxes, while low-income individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises bear excessive tax burdens. This tax burden inequality exacerbates social inequality, making life even harder for low-income groups. Indirect taxes such as value-added tax and consumption tax account for a high proportion of total tax revenue, and their impact on low-income groups is particularly noticeable, as their daily consumption expenditures account for a higher proportion of their income. Vietnam's tax collection system has loopholes, and tax evasion and tax avoidance are relatively common. Many enterprises and individuals evade their tax obligations by falsely reporting income and concealing assets, leading to a reduction in national fiscal revenue. The regulatory capacity and enforcement strength of tax authorities are insufficient, resulting in low tax collection efficiency and further exacerbating fiscal pressure. Vietnam's social security system covers a limited range of people, and many low-income groups and laborers are unable to enjoy basic social security. Pension, medical insurance, and unemployment insurance systems are not well-developed, leaving these groups without effective protection when facing health risks, unemployment, etc. Especially in rural areas, the coverage rate of social security services is even lower, and many farmers and low-income families face serious livelihood problems. Educational resources are distributed unequally, with urban schools having advanced facilities and strong faculties, while rural schools have relatively inferior conditions. Many children from poor families are unable to receive good education and fall into the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Medical resources also have urban-rural disparities, with medical facilities and services in rural areas far inferior to

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Track Combines, Rice Planters, and Combine Harvesters

The agricultural sector has seen remarkable advancements over the years, with technology playing a pivotal role in transforming traditional farming methods. Among the most significant innovations are track combines, rice planters, and combine harvesters. These machines not only enhance efficiency but also ensure higher productivity and sustainability. Let's explore how these cutting-edge tools are revolutionizing modern agriculture.

Track Combine: Precision and Performance

Track combines are a game-changer for harvesting operations, particularly in challenging terrains. Unlike traditional wheeled combines, track combines are equipped with tracks that provide better traction and stability. This feature is especially beneficial in muddy or uneven fields, where wheeled machines might struggle.

The primary advantage of track combines is their ability to distribute weight more evenly, reducing soil compaction. This is crucial for maintaining soil health and ensuring sustainable farming practices. Additionally, track combines can operate in wet conditions, allowing farmers to extend their harvesting window and avoid crop losses due to adverse weather.

Moreover, track combines are designed to handle large volumes of crops efficiently. With advanced threshing and cleaning systems, these machines ensure minimal grain loss and high-quality yields. Farmers can benefit from increased productivity and reduced operational costs, making track combines an indispensable asset for modern agriculture.

Rice Planter: Enhancing Paddy Cultivation

Rice planters have revolutionized the way rice is cultivated, making the process faster and more efficient. Traditional manual transplanting of rice seedlings is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Rice planters automate this process, ensuring precise planting at optimal depth and spacing.

One of the significant benefits of using a rice planter is the uniformity it brings to the field. Consistent planting ensures even growth and better crop management. This not only enhances the overall yield but also reduces the risk of diseases and pests.

Rice planters are equipped with features that allow them to operate in flooded fields, typical of paddy cultivation. By mechanizing the transplanting process, these machines significantly reduce labor costs and improve productivity. The result is a more efficient and profitable rice farming operation.

Combine Harvester: The All-in-One Solution

Combine harvesters are perhaps the most iconic symbol of modern agriculture. These versatile machines combine three essential harvesting operations – reaping, threshing, and winnowing – into a single process. This efficiency saves time and labor, making harvesting faster and more cost-effective.

The versatility of combine harvesters allows them to handle a variety of crops, including wheat, corn, soybeans, and rice. Modern combine harvesters are equipped with advanced technology, such as GPS and yield monitoring systems, which provide farmers with valuable data to optimize their operations.

One of the standout features of combine harvesters is their ability to deliver clean and high-quality grain. With minimal grain loss and efficient processing, farmers can maximize their yields and improve profitability. Additionally, the reduced need for manual labor in the harvesting process helps address labor shortages and increases operational efficiency.

Conclusion

The integration of track combines, rice planters, and combine harvesters into farming operations represents a significant leap forward for the agricultural industry. These machines offer numerous benefits, including increased efficiency, higher productivity, and improved sustainability. By embracing these innovations, farmers can enhance their farming practices, ensure better crop management, and ultimately achieve greater success in their agricultural endeavors.
