In the midst of a power crisis, South Africa is saving the planet.
The rolling blackouts have resulted in decreased industrial activity which in turn has greatly lessened emissons from factories and manufacturing plants, allowing the country to stay well under its emmission target limits.
The blackouts may well have affected the operations of gasoline stations, preventing motorists from filling up their vehicles and driving around, further reducing pollution.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – The much-awaited announcement by Elon Musk of the new Twitter CEO finally came today: NBCUniversal’s Linda Yaccarino, an executive with deep ties to the advertising industry.
But just hours after the announcement, and following a televised one-on-one forum between Musk and Yaccarino, the new CEO was fired.
The reason? Elon Musk realized he had nothing in common with the lady.
During the forum, Musk rejected almost every single suggestion by Yaccarino on plans to take the social media platform to the next level.
Clearly, Musk rejects anyone trying to influence him — even his CEO.
SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – There are many people who have reached their 90’s — the nonagenarians — but some are more famous than others and are closer to being centenarians.
The Adobo Chronicles pays tribute to world leaders and famous personalities who are in the running to reach 100:
1. Henry Kissinger, former US Secretary of State, 99
2. Khamtai Siphandone, former President of Laos,99
3. Juan Ponce Enrile, former Philippine Senator, 99
4. Jimmy Carter, former US President, 98
5. George Soros, rich man, 92
Who among them will reach 100? Our bet is Kissinger who turns 100 on May 27, 2023. Next is Siphandone who will be 100 on February 7, 2024, then Enrile on February 14, 2024.
Enrile will outdo everyone else if reaches 100. Per Philippine law, he will be awarded P100,000, and maybe even P1 Million if he reaches 101 years (legislation pending).
As for distant centenarian candidate Soros, don’t discount him. He is definitely determined to reach 100. Just recently, he tweeted that rumors of him passingaway were untrue. He’s alive and kicking!
