L’explosion combinée qui va s’en suivre ne restera pas dans les tuyaux de l’ #économie. Si elle a la violence qu’on lui anticipe, elle se convertira en déflagrations sociales et en événements #politique s de proportions historiques. La scène qui s’ouvrira d’ici quelques mois n’aura rien du #BusinessAsUsual. Les forces politiques de #gauche, quelles que soient les logiques qui les gouvernent, donc quels que soient les agendas que ces logiques déterminent, devraient bien mesurer (mieux qu’elles ne le font actuellement) l’exceptionnalité des temps qui viennent, et s’y préparer."

MSNOW:
«Is the Iran War making the gap between the rich and the rest of us even wider?»Nah, you don't say!
You would have thought that at least someone in that news network really meant what the title said.
Nope. All is about market expectations, Wall Street vs. Main Street. But even so, the fact that trading inreased dramatically again just half an hour before Trump's announcement isn't even discussed. What insider trading?

Sydney developer who illegally cut down native trees lodges plan for $10m mansion"Property developer Amir Abu Abara illegally cut down hundreds of native trees to build a $3 million mansion in Sydney."
The new development application includes "features the same tenpin bowling alley, indoor basketball court, gym with a sauna, infinity pool, movie theatre, prayer room, man-cave, library, and an underground car park with six car spaces."
"An environmental report found Mr Abara's property was situated on environmentally-sensitive land and home to threatened species like koalas and the powerful owl."
"The way this has happened will lead to this becoming an acceptable business model." >>

@freakonometrics ah merci Chloé, limpide ce diagramme !
Bon le #BusinessAsUsual est en réalité un sacré paquet de #déni d'une part et de figement #trauma d'autre part - et on a besoin du bail psychosocial je crois pour en sortir - mais un peu de lucidité factuelle ne nuit pas, et l'ironie (du sort) doit en tout cas être traversée

"Who Can It Be Now?" is a song by Australian band #MenAtWork. It was released in Australia in 1981, prior to the recording of their 1981 debut album #BusinessAsUsual, on which the track was later included as its opening track. "Who Can It Be Now?" reached No. 2 on the Australian singles chart in August that year, and was awarded a gold disc for sales of over 50,000 copies in Australia. The song also hit No. 45 in New Zealand. Released in Canada in early 1982.

How Dangerous Would a #KesslerSyndrome Be for Satellites?
By Matthias Binder, M.Sc., July 28, 2025
"The sheer number of satellites orbiting Earth today is truly staggering. According to the European Space Agency, there are over 10,000 active and inactive satellites circling our planet, a number that has more than doubled in the past five years. The launch of mega-constellations, like #SpaceX’s Starlink, has poured thousands of new objects into #LowEarthOrbit (#LEO), making it a busy and hazardous neighborhood. This crowding means that even a single collision could set off a disastrous chain reaction. The buildup of #SpaceJunk is not just a minor inconvenience—it’s a ticking time bomb. As one NASA engineer put it recently, 'We’re reaching a point of no return if we don’t act soon.' The risk is not hypothetical; it’s a growing, daily concern for satellite operators worldwide.
Understanding the Kessler Syndrome Phenomenon
"Kessler Syndrome is a chilling scenario where space debris collides, creating more debris in a runaway cascade. First described by NASA scientist Donald J. Kessler in 1978, this theoretical chain reaction would make certain orbits so littered with debris that satellites could no longer operate safely. In recent interviews, space experts warn that every new collision increases the risk of triggering such a syndrome. The latest studies from 2024 highlight that the density of objects in popular orbits is fast approaching critical thresholds. 'It’s like a cosmic traffic jam,' one astrophysicist said, 'except every fender bender makes the road even more dangerous.' This phenomenon isn’t just science fiction—it’s a looming threat that could upend modern life.
What Happens During a Debris Cascade?
"When two objects collide in orbit, the result is a spray of thousands of new fragments. Each of these fragments can travel at speeds greater than 27,000 kilometers per hour. Even something as small as a paint fleck has the potential to puncture or destroy a satellite at these velocities. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking more than 36,000 pieces of debris larger than 10 centimeters, but the real number of smaller, untrackable fragments is believed to be in the millions. The more debris there is, the higher the chance that satellites will be hit, creating even more debris. This is the catastrophic feedback loop that defines Kessler Syndrome, and the consequences are almost impossible to contain once it begins.
"Satellites form the backbone of today’s global communications, navigation, and weather monitoring. A significant increase in debris would put all of these services at risk. The International Space Station has had to maneuver multiple times in the past year to avoid potential collisions with debris, and commercial satellites have reported dozens of close calls. A sudden #DebrisCascade could render some orbits completely unusable, especially in low Earth orbit, where most satellites operate. Operators would face higher insurance premiums, more frequent maneuvers, and the very real possibility of losing multi-million-dollar hardware. The threat is so severe that, according to the Secure World Foundation, some satellite companies are already reconsidering future launches into crowded orbits.
"The satellite industry is a powerhouse, with a market value exceeding $400 billion. If Kessler Syndrome were triggered, the immediate cost of lost satellites could run into the tens of billions. But the real financial blow would come from the collapse of satellite-dependent industries. Think about GPS navigation, financial transactions, television, and disaster forecasting—all could be crippled. Insurance companies are already hiking premiums for satellites operating in high-risk orbits. A major debris event could cause a ripple effect, leading to job losses and economic instability in sectors that rely on reliable satellite data. As one economist recently said, 'A single catastrophic event in space could shatter global markets overnight.' "

Back to Gaya Herrington's chart -- including an explanation of what the terms mean...
BAU = #BusinessAsUsual
BAU2 = Double The Resources that we estimate are available -- Business As Usual carries on for a while longer.
CT = Comprehensive Technology [assumes BAU2].
SW = Stabilized World. [CT + BAU2].Herrington:
"The BAU scenario was based solely on historic averages without any assumptions. As mentioned, this 'business as usual' scenario ends in collapse.
[...]
"BAU2 assumes double the resources as in BAU. More abundant resources do not avoid a collapse; its cause merely changes from a resource scarcity crisis to a pollution one. With the resource constraint relaxed, incentives to innovate and/or change societal priorities are reduced, so business as usual goes on for longer. This creates so much pollution that agricultural output and human health plummet after some breakpoint. BAU2 essentially tells the story of #ecosystem breakdown from accumulated# pollution, including from greenhouse gasses (i.e., #ClimateChange)."
Both SW and CT involve the use of #Technology (#SolarPunk?), though SW is focused on sustainability.
Herrington: "We’re probably not on a path to a stable world [SW]. An update of this comparison in another few years might be able to identify one specific closest fit to empirical data. Without major changes in societal priorities, this is unlikely to be the scenario showing a sustainable path; the SW scenario, in which a decline in human welfare within this century is minimized, aligned with the data the least.
[...]
"CT represents the technologist’s belief in humanity’s ability to innovate out of environmental constraints. It assumes unprecedented technological innovation in a world that otherwise does not change its priorities much. The new technologies do in fact help avoid an outright collapse. However, CT still depicts some declines because the technology costs become so high that not enough resources are left for agricultural production and health and education services."

Les PDG de multinationales FR sont souvent présentés comme des "capitaines d'industrie" oeuvrant pour l'intérêt général du pays et auxquels la patrie doit reconnaissance.

Canadian teen with #BirdFlu was on #LifeSupport, new report reveals
The hospitalized teen was also given three #antiviral treatments, underscoring how severe #H5N1 infection can be
By Nicole Karlis, January 6, 2025
"In November, a teenager in British Columbia was infected and hospitalized with bird flu, caused by the H5N1 virus. While most cases have been mild, commonly characterized by #conjunctivitis and respiratory symptoms, this previously healthy Canadian teen was hospitalized from the virus in critical condition. Their symptoms started with double conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, and turned into a fever and coughing. A few days later the teenager was admitted to intensive care after developing acute respiratory distress syndrome [#ARDS].
"'This was a healthy teenager prior to this, so no underlying conditions,' said British Columbia’s health officer, Bonnie Henry, at a news conference at the time. 'It just reminds us that in young people this is a virus that can progress and cause quite severe illness.'
"Now, a recent report brings to light more details about the teenager’s case. In the report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), researchers explain that the 13-year-old girl spent weeks fighting for her life after contracting a severe H5N1 infection from an unknown source. In finding her diagnosis, researchers say that she initially tested positive for influenza A, but not the seasonal subtype. Further testing suggested she had a high viral load of a novel influenza A infection, which researchers discovered to be the H5N1 avian flu.
"The next day doctors started her on oseltamivir, also known under the brand name Tamiflu. However, her respiratory functions declined rapidly causing her to be intubated. She was also placed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a machine that is a form of life support for people with life-threatening illnesses. In addition to the ECMO machine, the teenager received a plasma exchange and two more antiviral medication treatments — amantadine and baloxavir.
"In an accompanying editorial, experts noted while mutations were detected in her case, it’s 'unclear whether these #mutations were present in the infecting virus or emerged during the course of the patient’s illness.'
"In other words, it’s unclear if the virus #mutated to be more severe in humans.
"'The mutations evident in the Canadian case highlight the urgent need for vigilant surveillance of emerging mutations and assessment of the threat of human-to-human transmission,' the editorial stated, adding that vaccine development and therapeutics are also needed — perhaps to treat more severe illness. 'The Canadian case showed higher viral loads in the lower airway and very prolonged shedding, despite therapy, which highlights the potential need for longer therapy.'
"Researchers concluded their editorial with an acknowledgment that 'many questions remain.' For example, the severity of cases is likely to depend on host immunity, the route of exposure, or other changes in the virus.
"Currently, the CDC says that the risk to most Americans remains low.
"'We do have candidate vaccines and antivirals available to try to mitigate severe influenza in the case of wider spread,' the report stated. 'That said, a balance between enhanced vigilance and ‘business as usual’ is needed."
