@RajThamotheram @ActOnClimate100 A related question is: what consequences for companies who don't have plans, or whose plans are too timid? What will investors request?

#EffectiveAltruism advocates who say #EA is fine, #SBF was just another high level fraudster are in denial.

This insightful oped explains how/why EA led to this fraud & corporate implosion. Interesting that it comes from a former religious correspondent!

#Omicrom is yet another #PreventableSurprise. Risk reduction should have been the priority. Instead #corporatecapture by #BigPharma - and its intellectual allies - was tolerated. Vaccine manufacturing where it is needed eg Africa has been blocked.
