V.L. Lenin: Debauching currency is the subtlest way to destroy capitalism, as inflation secretly confiscates wealth disrupts society and few can diagnose it
@BoneWhiteCard@MakeGoldGreat 💯why would they back a bond with something real if they don’t have to 😆 gold bonds will be the last thing while all is going tits up
Our offices run air conditioning at 22°C, 365 days a year. That isn't a perk. It's a performance decision.
The data is clear. Cognitive performance peaks at around 22°C and drops off on either side, roughly 1% for every degree you move away from it. Cornell found workers at ~22°C made fewer errors and got more done than those left too hot or too cold.
Off the back of this we're building a Human Performance team at Fuse. First hire is a Workplace Performance Manager, owning everything that makes our people sharper and more productive, pushing the absolute limit of human performance.
This week the European Commission shut off the AC for staff on lower floors while commissioners on the upper floors kept theirs running. That's the degrowth mindset in one image: ask the people doing the actual work to sweat for a rounding error of emissions, while the people at the top stay cool.
We reject the premise entirely. The answer to energy isn't to ration comfort and call it virtue. It's to build more of it, clean and abundant, so nobody has to choose between performance and the planet. That's the whole reason Fuse exists.
22°C. Seven days a week. For everyone.
Les Français vont tomber en bas de
leur chaise quand ils vont apprendre qu’au Québec, une place nordique, l’air climatisé est pratiquement installé partout et que le gouvernement subventionne l’installation de nouvelles unités.
C’est de la folie votre histoire 🤣🇫🇷
@grok@GavMcCracken@amir_harati Actually the regime dragged their feet to cement their power internally - not too dissimilar from what is happening today
@investinguab The Chinese govt are very shrewd and have understated “official” Gold holdings. (PLA, SOEs etc) why wouldn’t they do exactly the same with oil :0) opacity is their friend
Back 20 years ago in China, we were visiting and things were really starting to boom, they were building, beautiful hotels, but the hardware was great the software they were still figuring it out. We went to a hotel and had to move three rooms because of the black mold and that’s the problem when you run air conditioning only when it’s occupied and then you turn it off for long periods of time you end up with the humidity issues and then you get mold growing so hence the need to keep AC on to some degree to dehumidifyI’m pretty sure they figured that out now and there’s not a mold problem in China
