A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
A habitable world is possible"The Global Justice Report is part of a broader international agenda for planetary habitability, social justice, and reform of the global financial architecture."
"The Global Justice Project attempts to set out a new vision for global progress in the 21st century: grounding human development and equality in planetary habitability. It explores the conditions under which the world could move toward this horizon and traces an economically and ecologically consistent transition path from 2026 to 2100." >>
https://globaljusticeproject.wid.world/Summary: The Global Justice Report
A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
"It is possible to reconcile planetary habitability and high well-being for all, but only if the transformation rests on three pillars simultaneously. Fast decarbonization of energy systems is necessary. But we also need a major shift toward sufficiency – understood as a sharp reduction in labour hours and material footprint and large changes in consumption patterns, food habits, land use, and forest cover. In addition, neither decarbonization nor sufficiency can be financed and politically sustained without a drastic reduction in inequality of income, wealth and power, both between countries and within them. The compression of global inequality is not only compatible with deep decarbonization; it is a necessary condition for shared prosperity on a finite planet." >>

Jeremy Lent: Ecocivilization"Lent’s goal is to synthesize dozens of proven and promising genres of existing projects and real-world activism. Some of these are daring and paradigm-breaking. Others operate well within the dominant market/state system but offer credible possibilities for post-capitalist transitions."

8) We need an #ExtremeWealthLine if we are to lift more people above the #PovertyLine
If we believe #SocialMobility is good then a #WealthTax becomes a necessity
If we believe our #Politics is increasingly been bought by the #UltraWealthy then failure to address gross #inequality will lead to a decline in western #democracy

I saw a meme post on Facebook suggesting that no one earns a billion dollars except by wage theft, that no one works a billion times harder than other hardworking people who make ordinary wages. That seems a fair claim. I wrote this next paragraph in response, kind of as a spur of the moment thought, but it's something I want to spend more time thinking about:
I used to think that one solution to this was the practice of asking CEOs to not make more than some fixed multiple of their lowest-paid employee. But now I see the goal is to not employ anyone either. A lot of the benefits for corporations are justified on the idea that they employ people, so helping them helps people. Now that this assumption is on a path to being increasingly violated, we need to reconsider our special treatment of corporations as well.

Text of the audio "“Hi, I’m Jeff Bezos,” AI Jeff said. “This crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime, with an important message—please, don’t tax the rich, otherwise all the other billionaires will move to Florida, too. Wouldn’t it be terrible if all the rich people left Seattle or got Luigi’d? And then normal people could afford to live here again.” Then, comedian Bo Burnham's "Bezos 1" song played.

@asiny Not surprsingly, part of #Pollievre's solution includes a #Canadian version of a #BalancedBudget provision as found in several states south of the border. Of course, to balance the budget you must reduce spending - no suggestion you might #TaxTheRich instead eg through a #WealthTax or more progressive tax rates.
Don't expect #Pollievre or #JustinTrudeau to consider an #MMT solution, either. That's just crazy talk.
