I decided to film its windows up close.

Don’t blame us for needing it here, in Kyiv.

Proud to stand on the Unite picket line in Birmingham this morning.
Labour-run Birmingham city council tried to fire and rehire bin workers, cut pay by £8,000 & then brought in agency staff to break the strike.
Now those agency workers are on strike too over allegations of bullying & blacklisting.

Russian economic collapse: Russian Railways has urgently requested 200 billion rubles because it's out of money.
The government is afraid to give them money though because so many other state companies are in equally deep trouble and need money too.

TESLA TROUGH: Tesla sales in the EU dived again in November: down 58% in France, minus 59% in Sweden, and down 49% in Denmark. Germany recorded just 750 vehicles sold in October. BYD sold more than twice as many cars. The only exception is Norway. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/why-do...
Why Don’t Norwegians Hate Tesla Like the Rest of Europe Does?
November’s Tesla registrations were down in France, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany. Norway, however, is bucking the trend—thanks to a tax incentive system that will soon be rolled back.
