iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You are doing fantastic work in putting the spotlight on the entertainment industry and their limited coverage of climate change. Keep it up! And all the best to you. FYI - I started writing novels after more than two decades working in the field because there were very few on this topic.

Chartbook 476 Walled-in wealth #2: US-China oligarchic divergence.

adamtooze.substack.com/p/chartbook-... Of course #China has nothing to do w/ #democracy or any such progressive notion. However, this is quite a curious achievement - keeping #billionaires down instead of growing into a #kakistocracy that is happening in many places democratic and authoritarian.

2/ Feels the same way in academia, business, etc. And yet, thousands keep dying even in wealthy countries because of it. The suffering of 100s of millions in poor places remains unacknowledged by these gatekeepers. #climate

Even the New Yorker has lost the plot

The climate silence is coming from inside the house.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to ban private equity funds from owning or controlling medical practices. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know about the shady private equity industry and how it operates.

This puts the lie to everything they say about AI being "the future". There is no future if they continue down this path.

Trump’s EPA will no longer limit pollution from gas and coal-burning power plants. Reminder: Trump took millions of dollars in donations from Big Oil, and his EPA chief Lee Zeldin is cozy with the coal industry. Is there anything this regime won’t destroy to please its bankrollers?

Trump's EPA repeals pollution limits on fossil fuel power plants

With 50 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

2/ This far outstrips the annual emissions from entire industries, like international shipping and aviation. Compared to the fossil fuel emissions of entire countries, these 20 private equity firms taken together rank fifth, behind only China, the U.S., India, and Russia.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

10/ Motivation - A fair bit of global warming is already baked in even if we manage to quickly bring down future GHG emissions. The effects of climate change are being felt in catastrophic ways in many places around the world.
