Brazil is the country where the luxury sector suffered least in the pandemic
Oliver Mason, The Rio Times - 11 hours ago
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - After the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the
resilience of the Brazilian luxury goods market is being put to the test
again. The next five years should define whether the maxim, disseminated in
the global industry, that Brazil would be an oasis for the sector's brands,
is still valid. […]

Port Renfrew - “Activist headquarters” is an encampment just outside of
Port Renfrew, Vancouver Island. That is where the fight to prevent 200
hectares of ancient old-growth forest from being cut down continues.
“We haven’t been served (with an injunction), no,” said Molly Murphy, one
of the many people calling the encampment home on Monday.
The injunction was granted by the B.C. Supreme Court on April 1. It orders
the demonstrators to take down the blockades that they had set up to

Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 8 hours ago
Watching the chaos being unleashed on this country by the Biden
administration, it's hard to keep one's cool. Consider:
- Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are being not just admitted to
this country willy-nilly, but *actively encouraged to cross our borders*.
- The Federal Reserve is creating trillions of dollars out of thin air
with no economic reality underpinning them, a sure recipe for inflation.
- Billions upon billions of dollars, ostensibly intended for "stimulus"
or "infrastructure", are being wasted on pet projects and political
cronyism.

B-21 Raider: The Bomber China Has Every Right To Fear
