  1. Institution create the behaviour they claim merely to measure – Economics → institutions → behaviour → the #deathcult

    One of the meany problems with modern capitalism is not simply that some corporations are greedy. It is that we have built institutions around the assumption that people are greedy, and then wondered why they behave that way. Since the 1970s, #neoclassical economics became dominant in business schools and corporate thinking. An older social democratic idea of the manager as a professional with responsibilities to workers, customers, communities and society was displaced by a #geekproblem […]

  2. Modern society tends to imagine only two ways of organising human life: control or chaos.

    What interested me while writing this piece is how both Quakerism and anarchism push against that binary in surprisingly similar ways.

  3. Three in four autistic children want to play more sport but avoidable barriers stand in their way

  6. Friends,

    The Revolution Will Not Be Televised: The Theory and Practice of Resistance, Episode 3: Recruitment to High-Risk Activism therevolutionwillnotbetelevise is now live on the website, Peertube, and YT.

    We're finding a huge number of echos in the vodcast of what is happening in the real world today, and vice-versa ... it's kind of amazing! And, TBH, scary/depressing.

  7. Some European countries exhibit a more pronounced #GenderGap in #LaborForce #Participation (vertical axis) than others. This chart not only shows a clear correlation between this gap and overall participation rates, but also reinforces and challenges certain country stereotypes. #FutureOfWork

  8. We need to move beyond the term stakeholder in environmental decision-making (1/2)

    "Language matters in shaping perceptions and guiding behaviour. The term stakeholder is widely used, yet little attention is paid to the possibility that its use may inadvertently perpetuate colonial narratives and reinforce systemic inequities. In this article, we critically examine the limitations of the stakeholder concept and its ambiguity, normativity, and exclusionary implications. We emphasise the importance of using language that gives a voice to marginalised groups, promotes inclusion and equity, and fosters meaningful and reflexive participation in decision-making processes. In critiquing the use of the term and calling for alternative practices, we aim to contribute to the decolonisation of research norms and the creation of more inclusive and equitable societies. Therefore, rather than advocating a single alternative term, we suggest a focus on the people, places, and species affected by decisions, interventions, projects, and issues."

  13. "...The stakeholder paradigm (2/2)
    reduces the relationships between people and place to financial or economic transactions that ignore the cultural and spiritual significance of the land and the non-human species to which people are inherently connected. Moreover, the term stakeholder has been used to legitimise extractive policies by corporations and governments on Indigenous lands, on the basis that the interests of corporations and governments are as legitimate as Indigenous communities. This framing ignores power imbalances and the histories of colonisation and dispossession that have impacted those communities over many generations. These exploitations inherent in the stakeholder paradigm are directly relevant for research, which aims to engage individuals, groups, organisations, and, in some cases, non-human or other species in decisions, interventions, projects, and issues (Reed and Rudman 2022)."

  18. ♦️“The Stop Corporate Capture Act ♦️is a comprehensive blueprint for #modernizing, #improving, and #strengthening the regulatory system
    🔸 to better protect the public,” 🔸
    said Rachel Weintraub,
    executive director of the "Coalition for Sensible Safeguards."

    “The bill would restore #Chevron #deference, ensuring that courts defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of an ambiguous statute is reasonable.

    The bill would enhance our government’s ability to deliver results for workers, consumers, public health, and our environment.

    And it would level the playing field so that ordinary people
    – not just big corporations
    – can weigh in on potential rules that affect them.”

    More than 70 groups in the 🔸Coalition for Sensible Safeguards 🔸are calling on senators to endorse the bill introduced today by U.S. Sen. Elizabeth #Warren (D-Mass.),

    👉The House version of the bill -- #HR1507, introduced by U.S. Rep. Pramila #Jayapal (D-Wash.) in March 2023, already has 74 cosponsors. 

    Specifically, the bill would…
    • Codify #Chevron #deference, the recently overturned legal principle that courts must defer to agencies as long as their interpretation of statutory ambiguity is reasonable;
    • Require #disclosure of changes and the sources of changes made to draft rules during the White House regulatory review process;
    • Bar the White House from #unreasonably #delaying essential safeguards;
    • Make it a crime for corporations to submit #false #information to regulators;
    • Require anyone submitting scientific or technical research to #disclose potential #conflicts of interest;
    • Create an Office of the Public Advocate charged with increasing #public #participation in rulemaking, which will give communities that benefit most from new regulatory protections a much stronger voice in the process, including those that speak languages other than English; and
    • Authorize agencies to quickly #reinstate rules rescinded through the Congressional Review Act.
