Data centers are bad business models.

In fact, most of modern tech is a bad business model that requires falling rates and free money.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.

We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.

We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.

@DLocke09 Nooooooo, not Bon Roone!

[michael mezz @michaelmezz]

we should tax the rich — but maybe not for the reason you think.

ultra-wealthy people's money gives them too much command over our labor.

only by taxing the rich can we free up resources for things we actually want.

There’s a bigger gap in wealth distribution between the rich and the poor in America today than there was in France right before the French Revolution

In every majority-Christian nation, the systems are set up to ensure those with the most resources receive the most care and support. We're so accustomed to this that we may even consider it "natural." But this is not how Christian sacred texts want social orders designed...

@jfals82 Even better! 😉

“Rather than ducking and covering up, the church would be wise to seek procedural reforms, erring not on the side of institutional self-preservation but instead prioritizing the protection of the most vulnerable members of its community: children.”

Time for bishops who are paid and properly trained how to handle cases of child abuse, mental health, divorce, etc. This is sickening.

[The Associated Press @AP]

The @AP obtained nearly 12,000 pages of records showing that a “help line” run by the Mormon church is part of a system that can be misused to divert abuse accusations against church members away from law enforcement — and out of the public eye. https://t.co/8SCJ22CCNH
