  1. And here’s another one: paying attention to your shareholders instead of your customers is like your parents supported you throughout your life to allow you to progress, and when you’re able to buy your first home you only invite the bank manager who gave you the mortgage to the inauguration. I mean, again, talking about being ungrateful with those who made you who you are… 🙄

  6. Not typically a fan of Rabbi Ruttenberg, but this is an interesting, provocative thought-piece.

    "Nobody would think twice about demanding a #reasonableaccommodation if #corporations asked #Jews to start violating #Shabbat or partaking of the #pork BBQ at the #company retreat against their own practice. And while I would not demand that every #Jew request such an #accommodation (for Shabbat or keeping #kosher), they should absolutely have that option available, even if their #religious practice is a work in progress. So too, here.

    And despite seeing many people (including religious Jews!) eliding the moral and religious issues around #AI because "that train has already left the station," we should make choices based on whether they are right or wrong. Also, it's a fallacy: Movements grow from dissent."

  7. For #Indigenous communities in ‘#Alberta,’ the #OilIndustry has left an ugly stain

    Facing #OilSpills, evacuations and #illness — nations downstream of the #OilSands grieve their way of life, as the #corporations polluting their water get richer

    By Brandi Morin, December 7, 2023

    Excerpt: "The rush of the wind and sprays of water add to the thrill as Jason Castor guides his riverboat through a stretch of #LakeAthabasca near #FortChipewyan, in #Treaty8 territories. If he slows down, his boat could get stuck in the mud or even flip over because the water levels in this spot are remarkably low. He steers around buoys, dodges logs and other debris while accelerating to the mouth of the channel, which he knows should be deep enough to navigate at an average speed.

    "While trawling his boat further down the river, Castor points to odd-looking clusters resembling dirty foam floating by.

    " 'There’s just a slurry of a foam that looks like #oil or some kind of #chemical in there,' says Castor, a 42-year-old father, construction business owner and member of the #AthabascaChipewyan #FirstNation (#ACFN).

    "He’s been a traditional hunter, trapper and fisherman for nearly 20 years and has documented strange changes in the water, the land and animals.

    "Something’s going on in the river, he says.

    " 'They say that it’s natural, well, I know that that’s not natural because I’ve been on the river my whole life,' he explains as he points to brown and #WhiteFoam, #OilSheens and other discoloured formations floating on the river.

    "Nowadays, it’s risky to navigate these waterways because of industrial intakes like the #WACBennettDam to the west in B.C.; the #AlbertaOilSands just up the river and impacts from #ClimateChange.

    "The #PeaceAthabascaDelta is the second-largest #freshwater delta in the world.

    "The #AthabascaRiver, and the larger delta, also sit atop the world’s largest known reservoir of #CrudeBitumen.

    "The industry that has sprung up around it drives Alberta’s and Canada’s economy, employing about 138,000 people. In 2021, crude bitumen production totaled approximately 3.3 million barrels per day. The oil sands energy sector including oil sands, conventional #OilAndGas, mining and quarrying is valued at about $18 billion.

    "But while Canada prospers off the oil sands industry, #Indigenous communities downstream are dealing with its #toxic impacts.

    "Not only are the water levels fluctuating, but the health of the water flowing through the Athabasca River is jeopardized."

    Some "good" headlines of recent days: #Anthropic the paragon of virtue! The world a better place if we buy useless crap from European #corporations, not U.S. ones! #Solar makes us independent of oil and #geopolitics!

    Last time I checked, though, #Amodei is still an utterly deluded #broligarch, European corporations are just as greedy as U.S. ones, and #solar_panels come from China.

    We need real change. Not feel-good straws to grasp at while we continue our fall...

  9. do y'all feel like #quickcommerce, the likes of #blinkit, #zepto, #zomato are worsening and aggravating #urbanisolation?

    does this also drive the #corporations and the #government to ignore #pedestrian infrastructure, and ultimately also affecting the overall #walkability of the city?

    seriously, what happened to people walking to a shop and getting their groceries? or walking to a nearby market to have some street food? (not to comment on the hygiene 😅)

  10. “"AEP, [Australian Energy Producers — peak lobby for #FossilFuelIndustries ] with the support of EY [Consultants to AEP], produced sophisticated disinformation that misled policymakers and influenced the national climate strategy to expand gas production, and delay the energy transition under the guise of credible analysis," said Claire Synder, the director of Climate Integrity.” (Source: ABC News)

    Who would’ve known? The Govt and bureaucrats receiving the AEP’s advice to keep/build Gas Peakers on the electricity grid to support the transition to ‘green energy’ certainly would have seen it coming. They’d have to have been blind and stupid not to. Hence, the conclusion has to be that govt support for continued fossil fuel use (in terms of ‘natural’ - being anything but - gas extraction and combustion) must be intentional and in keeping with the #GasLobby ‘s wishes. Not only is our #Labor govt purposefully inactive on the #ClimateAction and #Environmental left-wing agenda, it is actively funnelling #PublicFunds to #Grifting fossil fuels #Corporations which pay #NoTaxes and piddly #Royalties.

    I’m not a conspiracy theory advocate, but this sure looks like #Corruption, #Collusion and #NestFethering activities if I’ve ever seen any.

    All the while, any ‘new’ gas fields developed in Australia will be exported to fulfil contracted gas futures (which are then re-sold at a profit on the international market by #Japan - a lucrative business all round).

  11. These companies were our so-called friends. We shopped in their stores, wore their #Pride collections, banked with them, drank their coffee, and supported their brands. Why are they abandoning us now?
    Because they were never truly our friends.

  12. "The entities now controlling prices are big corporations. She wants to prevent them from keeping prices high by restoring competition. She’s exactly right."

  13. "Last week, Kamala Harris announced she would go after corporate price gouging. Trump promptly accused her of seeking price controls. Much of the economic establishment — which justifiably believes price controls don’t work — went berserk.

    But Harris is not advocating price controls. She’s advocating just the opposite (see my interview, below)."

    kaveri oli löytänyt tän mielenkiintoisen tosiasian, eli että muutaman erittäin ekologisesti ongelmallisen firman toimija (Ikea, Nestle ja H&M) kannattaa EU:n biodiversiteettilakia, ja pohdimme tämän merkitystä.
