    Or, stuff is just being made up for personal enhancement.

      Jeez, dude, she offered beer. It's totally rude to ask for tequila instead, and she might not even have any mixers on hand.

      My current favorite beverage is Bloody Mary mix. No booze, just the mix. It's like liquid pico de gallo. Yummmmmm.

Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

        I am quite sure that Ms. Thunberg has a big heart and wants the best for Earth and humanity, but it is time for her to go back to school to learn what she doesn't know and to unlearn so much of what she has been taught.
        She should go to a different school.

        Greta Thunberg: It's time to overthrow the West's oppressive and racist capitalist system (telegraph.co.uk)​
        From a climate change campaigner to presenting a new far-Left political agenda against “racist” capitalism - meet the new Greta Thunberg.

        AA13F2oQ.img?w=768&h=481&m=6&x=379&y=166&s=246&d=246.jpg
        The 19-year-old Swedish activist has announced that as well as tackling her usual area of climate action and awareness-spreading, she has now thrown her weight behind defeating the West’s “oppressive” capitalist system.

        Calling for a “system-wide transformation” at her book launch in London, she claimed that the world’s current “normal” - dictated by the people in power - has caused the climate breakdown.

        She said: “We are never going back to normal again because ‘normal’ was already a crisis. What we refer to as normal is an extreme system built on the exploitation of people and the planet.

        “It is a system defined by colonialism, imperialism, oppression and genocide by the so-called global North to accumulate wealth that still shapes our current world order.”

        Ms Thunberg added: “If economic growth is our only priority, then what we are experiencing now should be exactly what we should be expecting.”

        Appearing at London’s Royal Festival Hall to launch her new book, The Climate Book, on Sunday night, she decided to venture into political waters in her speech - having previously avoided doing so.
        ​
        The photo is from the cover of her book, The Climate Book, which she "created" by introducing a compilation of work by various others.

        It strikes me that creating and marketing a book is a typically capitalist thing to do, even for Professional Yeller Greta Thunberg, Time's Person of the Year in 2019.

        So that makes her an Oppressor.

        Oh well, we only have about 8 years left before The End. I think I have earplugs that will outlast humanity.

          Same chorus, just like the first. Happens every time: it's "all about the climate" right up to the point that they admit what it's really about: destroy capitalism no matter what the cost to humanity.
          It's been ten years since that lonely day I left you
          In the morning rain, smoking gun in hand
          Ten lonely years but how my heart, it still remembers
          Pray for me, momma, I'm a gypsy now
