Shell decides to eliminate the real investment part and just keep the speculative part. Western energy multinatonals need some discipling.

Second-time getting by train from Barcelona to Denmark to reduce postdoc emissions. I enjoy it a lot. You see things slowly and with attention, you can make visits, and you can always work effortlessly. However, this is only an option if you can afford it. Making trains cheaper is urgent.

“Golf courses currently take up far more space than solar power in many nations, covering four times as much land in the US, six times as much in the UK and 15 times as much in Canada, according to a recent study, illustrated in the figure below.”

An institutionalised social system that grows only by shifting crises and cannibalising the very conditions of its existence: humans, care, nature, and polity.

Today, more people die from obesity than from malnutrition. This is the problem of capitalist societies: they alleviate poverty only through vast overconsumption and deep inequality. We need societies that can reduce poverty while respecting limits.

Rather than focusing on halting foreign aid, we should be dismantling a financialised system that continues to drain countries' resources towards the richest individuals, rather than allowing governments to invest in welfare and technology. Once we have fixed this, we can talk about foreign aid.

The excellent analysis in the FT’s comments section. Finishing with financialisation is a necessary condition to get prosperous and sustainable societies.

This is what fascism looks like — in one graph.

Ya, tienes razón. Y por cierto, España similar. Supongo que el desconfinamiento ha hecho mucho daño también.

Estaba justo en la misma página Xan! Haha

El total emissions me sale que han aumentado un 4% de 2020 a 2023 y bajado 9% de 2018 a 2023. Y así me salen los per capita. Así que un poco de resultados mixtos del mandato Biden?

Així és com qualsevol xerrada sobre finançament i habitatge deuria acabar. La veritat, difícil no ser keynesià quan es parla d’habitatge, sobretot quan es un programa que s’autofinancia en perpetuïtat gràcies a les quotes de lloguer/cessió d’ús.

Of course. The innovator is just Bezos—never the hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of actual innovators/workers who made it possible for profit extraction. What an article. I’m so tired of this meritocratic crap and the glorification of wealth accumulation that’s tearing the world apart.

It’s quite a shock to grasp the scale of Ireland’s housing crisis when you walk past homeless tents. A country that has pursued low-tax policies, attracted international workers — and seen housing prices soar.

En 12 hores Coop57 ha aconseguit 2 milions d'euros de títols participatius per a la construcció d'habitatge cooperatiu i comunitari. Increïble. La gent té estalvi, es vol protegir de la inflació i té moltes ganes de canvi social. Cal que les entitats socials aprofitin per construir múscul financer.

Remember that during the Cold War, the so-called “golden age” of Keynesian capitalism—when public housing and welfare states expanded—occurred alongside high European military spending. Times have changed, but it shows what states can afford.

No! By trimming our welfare state we will just be destroying social cohesion and create the monsters inside Europe that threaten peace. Any security development on alleged external threats cannot be built on creating internal social instability.

Ara per ara, sí que la diversificació està fumuda per poder aguantar el cop.

So not even waiting for the next government – actually due to Die Linke's concerns about using debt for defense spending. Amazing how quickly conservatives and the bourgeoisie become socialists when it comes to weapons.
