Vince McMahon reaction meme, with the judge showing increasingly dramatic impressed faces. 

First panel: Peatland rewettung improves drainage (he looks interested)

Second panel: It also sequesters carbon (he looks excited)

Third panel: It can also be a solar farm (he looks ecstatic)

Fourth panel: The solar panels increase wildlife! (He’s glowing red and gaping with glowing eyes)

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Sums up my theory that we what lack is the idea of sufficiency in business “ …the neoclassical revolution and the marginal theory of value … gradually elided this understanding in favor of a purely price-based framework, which can be summed up as “if you can charge it, then you have earned it.”

This is why removing taxes always ends up enriching just the wealthy. It’s a con job every time. We don’t have real competition in NA because we prop up large corporations that are “too big to fail” and they return the favour by mining us for every penny they can.

100%. A captain stands up. Matthews has a chance to show he’s a leader (though doing it in the actual locker room would have been true leadership). Toronto’s captain has to be a leader, and if he’s not, the C must go (and the player too)
