      No matter how far we have come as a society, you look again and realize on some things we have really not moved much. if anything, there might be regression. Think of Belgium owning forests in DR Congo for “carbon credits”!!!

        Yes, we could update the snake with Alrosa, Lobaye, all the foreign-owned mining companies and their mercenaries in DRC. Whoever M23 sells its plunder to, as well (Apple, according to recent reports).
