Welcome to BSA Images of the Week! Hello Friends! Lots of good new graffiti and street art and murals out there this week as the city was pausing for some fireworks – nearly every day including the official ones on Tuesday night. The illegal fireworks never completely go away, but they ebb and flow from year to year. The rotating sculpture of the Statue of Liberty that was made of drones really impressed the crowds of New Yorkers this year as they were waiting for the show on the 4th.
In the news, our Mayor may have had some curious donor scheme, our delivery people are getting resistance from corporate powers to a minimum wage for their work, and our ultra-rich citizens, whose income tax is capped so they pay only about 1% of it – are positioning themselves to take away Social Security from millions of their fellow Americans who depend upon it.
And a word on cluster bombs, which America is intending to deploy in Ukraine? They are not “controversial”, they are immoral. According to the Guardian, “More than 100 countries, including the UK, France and Germany, have signed an international treaty – the Convention on Cluster Munitions – that outlaws the use or stockpiling of these weapons due to their indiscriminate effect on civilian populations.
Human rights groups have described cluster munitions as “abhorrent” and even a war crime.”
