In the beginning there was pudding. On April 6, 1967, a flat action called Kommune I wanted to greet and throw pudding for U.S. Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey when he arrived in Germany to protest the Vietnam War. The informant revealed the plan.
When the Shah of Persia, Reza Pahlavi, arrived a little later, demonstrator Benno Ohnesorg was shot dead by a policeman.

Swedish public relations manager and stock market specialist Ingmar Rentzhog was a pioneer. He discovered Greta Thunberg and founded We Don’t Have Time. He used it to raise millions of investors’ money for his stock fund.
Saving the climate as a profitable business model? Why not. Unfortunately, some of them get stuck in their end-of-the-world fantasies because the job of “asphalt glue” has no future. Civilization, on the other hand, does.
