1% protected from you, and, 1% more destructive than 7 billion people

In the last few days Obama quietly signed a bill passed with most the senate and congresses voting for it, to protect the privacy of owners of private aircraft.  This bill prevents the live internet tracking/displaying/identifying of private and corporate aircrafts movements in real time.  It seems our national security and those (mostly) millionaires need their travels kept quiet.  Yet, all the new cell phones have a tracking device in them, as do many new cars (on star and other like services), but the wealthy felt they needed another "gated community" to shield them from.........you!

7 billion, gonna eat up everything, waste everything, pollute everything.  Or, are the 1%ers more destructive?  A watchdog group reports that the worlds 3,000 largest corporations are responsible for more pollution than the whole of the population are.  The top 1% own about 3/4 of the corporate resources and land either directly or through the governments they control.  The corporations and governments who control the standards of pollution are held by these few million people of the world.  The Putins and Kochs and the Saudi family and so on, create (in dollars) pollution which if it were a nation would be the 3rd or 4th most wealthy nation in the world.  US, China, Germany, Pollution.

A bit of good news.  Also, quietly a few days ago, the Obama administration through the power given it by  a pit bull California, Sierra Club, and NRDC new MPG standards were set on top of those from a couple years back.  Depending on the type of car, within the next decade MPG will jump into the low 50's on some, and in the high 20's on pickups.  Honda, Toyota, GM, Ford, and a few others were actually (somewhat) eager to agree to this.  California and some other states, and Canada (Canada often copies Calif. standards) were going to set their own standards which would have been a nightmare for automakers working with so many state regs.  This agreement is estimated to save the consumer $4,000 to $8,000 in fuel cost during the life of the car.  For some models the purchase price may be higher, a few hundred to $2,000 but it will save the nation 1/4 of it's daily imports.  Thanks to the left coast.
