personal news: I'm joining @peaceinnovation institute led by @margaquihuis & @mark__nelson & launched in #TheHague by the Peace Innovation Lab @Stanford to focus on pro-social behavior at scale.
We are attempting to change how #ESG & #sustainability are perceived. More to come!

@nectarios Won’t happen with this government which needs explain why Qc is dead last re booster rollout in Canada. That’s why we’re the COVID epicenter, again. They should also explain why they let rapid tests locked in warehouses for months, most of which are no longer usable.

@ParkerMolloy 🎯He was joined, loudly, by certain Silicon Valley “leaders” who were actively shaming mask wearers on this platform and others. The CDC dropped the ball re masks and it’ll be harder now to make the case that they won’t go away (see Japan and their longtime use).

#Omicron is challenging our collective intelligence and abilities to plan ahead. Our hospital systems are close to the max, esp b/c staff is getting sick.

Re-upping from Fall 2020 👇🏻

@sarvay Sadly we’re as collectively clueless as the 1918-19 folks who were told to wear masks and did not. Until a large metro area or state sustains a large scale hospital breakdown eg hospital closure b/c of sick nurses/doctors, nothing will change.

Reviving U.S. heavy industry would build a safer, more sustainable world: Clean product standards should cover all goods sold in the United States—and here is the key—requiring importers to follow the same standard as domestic producers.

si le Québec atteint les 10,000 cas/jour on va dépasser même la médecine de brousse dont parlais TRES justement @kick1972. Pourquoi attendre aussi longtemps ? Ne voit-on les décisions des Pays Bas par exemple ? https://t.co/VqXFKE33r9

Pourquoi attendre demain pour nous dire que nous allons en #couvrefeu ?

Comme dans beaucoup d’endroits dans le monde, le Québec est confronté à des choix très difficiles.
Ce qui nous guide, c’est la capacité qu’on aura ou non de soigner les Québécois malades dans les prochaines semaines. On vous revient demain avec nos décisions.

Slowest Growth on Record for America’s Population “can be attributed to decreased net international migration, decreased fertility&increased mortality due in part to COVID-19.”
my take: population crash=📉in hard&soft power for America

They’ve shrunk 10x faster in the past 40 years than in the previous 7 centuries. The Himalayas is the source of 10 major river basins that provide drinking water, irrigation, and power to about 1.9 billion people.

@moorehn 🎯🎯Schumer will be remembered as the most ineffective “leader” in forever. Notice how NO ONE talks about him at all on the BBB fiasco ? He’s no doubt a talented fundraiser ;)

In Hollywood, at the NIH/NSF, and in US energy policy, our markets are failing to promote new ideas that drive progress and growth.

@aravosis Psaki’s press release does not give enough space to Biden’s policy achievements in easy repeatable bullet points. Dems keep repeating their mistakes it’s maddening. Where are the message meisters ?

Jen Psaki Accuses Manchin of Betrayal, 'Breach of His Commitments' in Scathing Response to Senator's Build Back Better Opposition https://t.co/06UPDJUPNN via @mediaite
my take: this is counterproductibe&won’t move Manchin one inch. Dems need to find common ground w Murkowski.

@BFriedmanDC No one thought Dems would win 2 GA seats before Trump’s scorched earth campaign. Biden’s moderate stance > Warren’s more left of center given how broken DC is. IMO federal level as change agent is DOA given SCOTUS+filibuster. States eg CA/NY/IL are where Dems should focus energy
