#auctioned — Public Fediverse posts

Inside #USAID Fire Sale. Around the world, defibrillators, motorbikes, and water towers are being donated, sold, or simply abandoned. Federal, humanitarian workers have scrambled​​ to run mass closeout before their own termination or their project’s #bankruptcy, with little guidance from leadership at USAID or State Depart. Result is millions of $ worth of equipment that US has already purchased is being #auctioned off, likely at an extreme #loss, or simply #abandoned https://archive.is/Hc3or

A written order is expected later today, and a trustee could take over control of #AlexJones’ personal estate within hours. #Liquidation means Jones' personal belongings — from his #gun collection to his jewelry — will be #auctioned to the highest bidder in something of a fire sale. He could even lose access to his account on X, where he currently has 2.3M followers. However, #Texas #law allows him to keep his home, worth >$2M.

Yes it would!
Only if it's global (since supply chains are global), and fees taken at the wellhead.

I personally prefer the writing of #carbon #emissions permits, with a hard cap on the number of #permits and the cap decreasing every year, and the permits #auctioned to the highest bidder. The interesting discussion would be around how the proceeds are spent.

My proposal (older blog post, but I stand by the idea).
