How is wage inequality measured in the oil industry?
The women secretaries don't make as much money as the drilling crew members. That would not be allowed if only we were socialist. Comrade.
Land grabbing for the cultivation of sugar cane and other plants, especially in the US, for the production of biofuels (ethanol), is one major cause of the scarcity of food since it deprives the small land owners of their land and reduces the amount of food for everybody. Also the loss of arable land for the production of biofuel has contributed to the scandalous increase in food prices. Less land, less food so higher prices. Added to that is also the fact that biofuels even increase the damage to the earth that their advocates so loudly and dishonestly claim to reduce.
The speculation in food commodities as well as in arable land must also be forcefully denounced as a major contributing factor in the dramatic increases in basic food prices that we have seen since mid-2007. Thus, not only are the small farmers deprived of their land, often with no, or very little, compensation, but also, with the skyrocketing food prices, they cannot even afford buying the food they need for survival.
