      quote / critique - The price we pay for this salutary change is, no doubt, great - Andrew Carnegie - Carnegie goes on to write that the great freedoms offered by industrial mass production has an unavoidable price to be paid - Successful manufacturing and production cooperatives, B-Corporations, worker-owned companies, etc have disproved that it is an either-or situation. - Consider the case of the Spanish manufacturing giant, Mondragon, a federation of worker cooperatives employing 70,000 people located in Spain - where this price is NOT paid - Carnegie's essay reflects a perspective based on the time when he was alive - Were Carnegie alive today to witness the natural conclusion of his trend of progress in the Anthropocene, he would witness - extreme pollution levels of industrial mass production threatening to destabilize human civilization itself - astronomical wealth inequality - And these two are linked: - wealth inequality - a handful of elites have the same wealth as the bottom half of humanity - carbon inequality - that same handful pollutes as much as the bottom half of humanity

    1. Die Verkäufe von Elektroautos bleiben in Europa weit hinter den Erwartungen und dem zurück, was für die von der EU geplante Dekarbonisierung nötig ist. Nur 12,5% der zwischen Januar und Juli verkauften Fahrzeuge waren elektrisch, 0,5% weniger als im Vorjahr. Ein Hauptgrund ist, dass Elektroautos anders als China wesentlich teuer sind als Verbrenner und die bei den Emissionen kaum günstigeren Hybride. https://www.liberation.fr/economie/transports/en-europe-les-ventes-de-vehicules-electriques-a-contre-courant-20240909_HWD3HKHBHVFA5D7YYBSOSUQKZM/

    1. Carbon Capture and Storage wird von der fossilindustrie, unter anderem vom Präsidenten der Cop28, Sultan Al Jaber, als Methode dargestellt, fossile Energien CO2 frei zu machen. Eine Studie über zwei experimentelle CCS-Projekte in Norwegen stellt in Frage, ob die Speicherung von CO2 unter dem Meeresboden überhaupt sicher zu realisieren ist. In beiden Fällen wurden geologische Besonderheiten entdeckt, die zu völlig anderen Entwicklungen in den Lagerstätten führte, als man es angenommen hatte.

    1. https://app.idx.us/en-US/services/credit-management

      Seems a bit ironic just how much data a credit monitoring wants to help monitor your data on the dark web. So many companies have had data breaches, I can only wonder how long it may be before a company like IDX has a breach of their own databases?

      The credit reporting agencies should opt everyone into these sorts of protections automatically given the number of breaches in the past.

    1. Amy Maxmen, PhD. (2020, August 26). 🙄The CDC’s only substantial communication with the public in the pandemic is through its MMW Reports. But the irrelevant & erroneous 1st line of this latest report suggests political meddling to me. (The WHO doesn’t declare pandemics. They declare PHEICs, which they did Jan 30) https://t.co/Y1NlHbQIYQ [Tweet]. @amymaxmen. https://twitter.com/amymaxmen/status/1298660729080356864
