#Mining sub-Saharan Africa is expanding rapidly. This poses a key threat to tropical forests.
"For every hectare of direct deforestation due to the mine footprint, mining triggers, on average, 34 hectares of additional offsite loss within five years through ancillary activities, including agriculture and settlements. Mines extracting cobalt and copper—key energy transition minerals—caused the highest amount of additional deforestation."

The world of digital technology has changed too. In the 1990s, everyone from modem makers to software developers was focused on building the global network. Connection was the order of the day.

And this demo is no longer available because the servers are down, but #MistfallHunter pairs the tension of #DarkSouls combat with the tension of having needing to escape with your loot. I thought it played well, and I appreciate the "legally distinct from Dark Souls" aesthetic, but I'm not sure I want an #Extraction game in my life right now. If you do, though, this is worth watching.

This new book explains why your elderly parents’ retirement home, the nursery where you drop your children, or the company that pipes water into your kitchen is taken over by an increasingly intricate and deregulated industry.
If a private equity fund is "buying something using a lot a debt, [then] all of that debt is loaded onto the company that the private equity fund has acquired."
"Private equity has moved into care homes, housing, water, nurseries and other essential services."

how #capitalism destroys itself: #Inequality as structural feature: #wealth concentration has returned to #GildedAge levels in many countries. top 1% owns roughly 45% of global #wealth (= #assets such as #houses #land #water #energy #minerals)
Demand erosion: Extreme #inequality hollows out #consumer base that #capitalism depends on.

The Bleeding Edge
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — June 5, 2026
When I was studying telecommunications at DeVry Institute of Technology in the late 1980s, the head of the program, Al Payette, used to tell us something we all understood perfectly well.
“The cutting edge is also the bleeding edge.”
Nobody misunderstood him. Nobody was confused about what he meant. We knew that working in a rapidly changing technical field meant risk. Technology moves fast. Industries shift. Companies rise and fall.
What we did not understand — what none of us understood — was how quickly most of us would feel that first cut.
The bleeding started almost immediately.
For many of us, it started the day we walked across the stage and received our diplomas.
Building the Networks
My degree was in telecommunications — voice and data systems — but my professional work was in data communications.
In the mid-1990s, that meant something very specific. Businesses were beginning to connect computers together in ways that are completely taken for granted today.
Local area networks. Wide area networks. Ethernet cabling. Early routers and gateways. Offices that once ran isolated machines were being transformed into connected systems.
From roughly 1994 until about 1998, that was my work. I helped bring the first LAN and WAN networks into businesses. We wired buildings. We connected offices. We turned disconnected computers into networks.
Today those systems form the basic infrastructure of modern commerce. At the time, they were still new enough that someone had to physically install them, configure them, and make them work.
For a few years, it felt like standing inside the future.
Then the work began to disappear.
By 1998 the number of contracts was shrinking. By the time the telecom contraction and the collapse of the dot-com bubble hit around 2000, many of those positions had simply vanished.
The expansion of data communications had stopped.
And the people who had built it were suddenly expendable.
The Contradiction
What made that moment even stranger was what was happening in the public conversation about technology jobs.
Experienced engineers and networking specialists were being laid off. Telecommunications companies were collapsing or consolidating. Entire segments of the industry were shrinking.
At the same time, corporate leaders were appearing before Congress arguing that the United States faced a shortage of trained engineers.
Bill Gates testified that American companies needed more high-skill visas because they supposedly could not find enough qualified technical workers.
But thousands of qualified workers already existed.
Many of them were unemployed.
Alan Greenspan acknowledged that the data communications expansion had contracted, yet the policy conversation quickly shifted toward importing additional technical labor rather than stabilizing the careers that had already been built.
Whether those decisions were wise or not is something economists will debate for decades.
But if you were living through that moment, the contradiction was impossible to miss.
You were told your skills were desperately needed at the exact moment you were discovering they were not.
The Slow Start
I graduated in October of 1990, entering the workforce during the recession that followed the end of the Cold War and the so-called peace dividend period.
Economists have documented that graduating during an economic downturn can affect a person’s earnings and opportunities for years, sometimes for decades. A slow start can echo through an entire career.
That reality shaped my life more than I understood at the time.
In 1998 I was earning $28.50 an hour in the technical field.
By the 2000s, after the industry contraction, the most I ever made in technical work again was about $17 an hour — for positions that had once paid far more.
Eventually, like many people whose technical careers collapsed during that period, I spent much of my working life in other fields simply because those were the jobs that remained available.
The official story of the technology revolution rarely includes that part.
But it happened.
Occupy
By 2011 the economic consequences of those structural changes had become impossible to ignore.
That was the year Occupy Wall Street began.
I became involved in July of 2011, before the first tents went up in Zuccotti Park. Like many others, I believed the country needed to confront the economic system that had produced the financial crisis and the bailouts that followed.
When the movement spread to Chicago, I participated there as well.
But movements, like institutions, are not immune to hierarchy or internal politics. Solidarity is often more complicated than people imagine.
Instead of finding common ground, I found myself publicly ridiculed and pushed aside by activists who decided I was not one of the people they wanted representing their cause.
After the economy had already knocked me down, even the people claiming to challenge that system found ways to exclude me.
That experience taught me something important.
Power dynamics exist everywhere.
Leaving the United States
On September 5, 2023, I arrived in the Philippines to live with my wife.
Her name was Luz.
We hoped to build a life together here.
She died of cancer on September 3, 2025, at 5:15 in the morning. We buried her on September 11. She is entombed above her parents in a small family structure here in Leyte.
We never reached our second wedding anniversary.
After she died, I stayed.
The Archive
Today I live in Baybay City continuing the work that has defined the last several years of my life.
I write.
Thousands of essays now exist in what has become the WPS News archive — or perhaps more accurately, the WPS News knowledge base.
It is a record of events, policies, and power structures as I have witnessed and analyzed them.
The audience is not large. The work is not profitable.
But documentation matters.
History is not written only by institutions. It is also written by individuals who decide that the truth of their experience deserves to be recorded.
Extraction
Looking back across the decades, a pattern becomes difficult to ignore.
Modern systems extract value from people.
Technical workers build the networks that power the digital economy. Activists lend their time and energy to movements. Writers produce analysis that circulates widely.
But the people performing that labor often receive little in return.
Structural extraction without compensation is theft.
That sentence may sound blunt, but if you spend enough years watching the same pattern repeat, it becomes difficult to describe it any other way.
The Bleeding Edge
Al Payette warned us that the cutting edge was also the bleeding edge.
He was right.
Most of us understood there would be risks in working at the edge of a rapidly changing industry. What we did not understand was how quickly the system would turn on us.
Decades later, I understand.
And I am still here.
So I write.
Because whether anyone wants to hear it or not, the story of what happened to us deserves to be told — without extraction.

At #Chevron’s Gates, Communities Demand #Justice and a #FossilFree Future
#AntiChevron Day 2026 united communities fighting #extraction, #EnvironmentalRacism, and #corporate impunity across continents
May 21, 2026 | Paul Paz y Miño
"Nearly three decades after communities in the Ecuadorian Amazon first brought global attention to Chevron’s crimes, and 13 years after activists launched the first Anti-Chevron Day in 20 countries, the resistance continues. Chevron remains one of the most polluting companies on Earth – and one of the most determined to avoid accountability for it.
Anti-Chevron Day
"For the 13th year running, Anti-Chevron Day brought frontline leaders from across the globe to the shadow of Chevron’s #RichmondCA refinery, where communities gathered with anger, grief, music, ceremony, and determination to confront one of the world’s most destructive oil companies.
"The gathering came just weeks after the historic First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, #Colombia, where Indigenous leaders and governments demanded an urgent and just transition away from the fossil fuel economy that continues to poison the territories and devastate the health of frontline communities worldwide. In Richmond, that demand felt immediate and deeply personal. It is being shaped by the people most directly harmed by extraction and pollution, and by movements building solidarity across borders.
"Chevron must clean up its '#RainforestChernobyl' in the #EcuadorianAmazon!
"For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people. While drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon from 1964 to 1990, it deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of #ToxicWastewater, spilled roughly 17 million gallons of #CrudeOil, and left #HazardousWaste in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor."

"The gathering came just weeks after the historic First Conference on Transitioning Away from Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta, #Colombia, where Indigenous leaders and governments demanded an urgent and just transition away from the fossil fuel economy that continues to poison the territories and devastate the health of frontline communities worldwide. In Richmond, that demand felt immediate and deeply personal. It is being shaped by the people most directly harmed by extraction and pollution, and by movements building solidarity across borders.
"Chevron must clean up its '#RainforestChernobyl' in the #EcuadorianAmazon!
"For over three decades, Chevron chose profit over people. While drilling in the Ecuadorian Amazon from 1964 to 1990, it deliberately dumped more than 16 billion gallons of #ToxicWastewater, spilled roughly 17 million gallons of #CrudeOil, and left #HazardousWaste in hundreds of open pits dug out of the forest floor."
