#Zuck: Admits for the first time ever that #Facebook's single business model of converting compute capacity into ads has hit a ceiling, and pivots to cloud business.
#EpsteinClass: #META +8.81% at close.¹
Me: Still waiting for Zuck to realize that the biggest stone weighing the ad spend ceiling down is #GlobalInequality.²
¹ Apparently they believe the market for #ProbabilisticAutomation is bigger than the market for selling goods and services.
² Cancer doesn't know it's killing the host.

An unregulated post-growth transition in the North can cause crises in the South: debt, inflation, unemployment. That’s the finding of a new paper by CUSP researchers Dario Leoni, Andrew Jackson and @ProfTimJackson. Their analysis from the PADME model reveal that financial transfers and global cooperation are essential to make it work internationally—ecological space isn’t enough.

Food crises could triple for 24 nations by 2026 due to warming, a seven times faster rate than wealthy nations. This means more hunger and health problems.

The ultimate neoliberal “dreamworld” – on desert sand without water
Expat influencers sold Dubai to the world and were paid to look the other way. Now the dream is crumbling* "The Dubai project requires demanding visitors and expats to not think too much about the suffering or question what goes on beyond the city’s borders. And how that city came to be built in the first place."
"The whole social contract of Dubai involves a wilful blindness to the proximity of suffering and violence. After all, Gaza is geographically close." >>

Calm is not always a sign that things are working.
Often, it’s a sign that the costs have been moved: into the future, into the margins, into lives we don’t see.This essay explores borrowed calm: how modern systems maintain stability by postponing consequences, and why misreading that calm is becoming one of our most expensive mistakes.

"We live in a world where a few people capture unimaginable wealth while billions are denied access to basic needs. Such extreme inequality is not natural or inevitable. It is an effect of the dominant economic system, capitalism, where production is controlled mostly by capital and organized around maximizing and accumulating profit, rather than securing human well-being.
Capital accumulation requires cheapening labour and resources, particularly in the global South. This produces inequalities between classes and leads to uneven development between regions. It also drives ecological breakdown, and while some benefit from the exploitation of our planet’s ecosystems, others suffer the damages."

In a thought-provoking discussion, Paul Krugman speaks with Branko Milanovic on global inequality, emphasizing its complexity beyond national borders. Milanovic's insights on the "elephant curve" reveal how globalization benefits the elite and Asia's middle class but overlooks Western counterparts. Their dialogue unpacks the nuances of economic disparity and calls for deeper exploration. For more, explore the full article here: [Discussion about this post](https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/global-inequality-branko-milanovic) #GlobalInequality #BrankoMilanovic #PaulKrugman #Economics #SocioEconomicInequality #ElephantCurve #IncomeDistribution. Kudos to Milanovic for shedding light on this crucial topic!
