I have both been able to work and get food without using a car.

$7trillion is three times the GDP if Brazil. It is bigger then the US federal budget. Seriously it is insane.

How do people die from not having a car? It must be a lot of them, given that most can not afford them, but depend on them…

That includes downstream emissions. So if your car runs on BP oil, those emissions would be part of BPs emissions.

There is a reason BP is not advertising people to drop their cars. BP wants two things in its campaign. First of all to make clear that it is your lifestyles fault and secondly that besides munor changes you do not have to change that at all.

The line is reduce, reuse and then recycle for a reason. Not buying something and buying second hand are affordable for everybody. Unfortunatly the later takes more time.

Also boots theory is something to keep in mind. As in buying quality is often cheaper over the long term.

Lenin ended any oppurtunity for none CPSU members to be elected to the Soviets and banned factions in the CPSU in 1921. He then eliminated opposition with the Cheka. Even before that the Communists acted under “war communism”, which meant killing anybody not 100% in line. That very much included Machnos work in setting up a Soviet Democracy in Ukraine, due to them being Anarchists. Stalin then abolished the Soviets in 1936.

The Soviet Union had a bit of it, in the very beginning, but it failed and turned into a statist dictatorship. That is why Stalin ordered the Anarchists to be killed in Spain as well, the Prague Spring got crushed due to moving into a more democratic direction as well as many other movements of worker uprisings.

Socialism means collective ownership of the means of production. The issue with the Soviet Union was that all means of production were controlled by the state. However there was no way in which the people controlled the state, since at least 1936 and argueably earlier then that.

Israel did control a part of Lebanon for a bit.

At first the committee had intended to honour only Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel, but a committee member and advocate for women scientists, Swedish mathematician Magnus Gösta Mittag-Leffler, alerted Pierre to the situation, and after his complaint, Marie’s name was added to the nomination. Marie Curie was the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize.

Microsoft is already measuring its datacenters in GW. I would not be surprised, if next year all of big tech add data centers consuming as much as Ireland. Microsoft wirh 5GW is already pretty close.

This is not how subsidies work. Subsidies just artigically lower the price for something, while increasing the price for other things(you need money to pay the subsidies). So with the economy dependent on oil, cutting subidies would just increase oil prices, while lowering the price for alternatives.

We need to cut subsidies and deploy the alternatives quickly enough. We have most of the tech and for the most part supply chaines to make it work.

This is household food waste and the study also inclues retail and food services.

5.6%of GNP is well above the 2% inflation rate and France economy is also not growing fast at forecasted 0.7%.

If you are an oil exporter, taking put other countries oil production makes your exports more valueable.

The US already works against Iran, Russia and Venezuela.

Jerusalem. The mosque is the al-Aqsa

I for my part like that the government is working hard in disrupting oil production.

I am not saying media is not bias, but that some media just spins the truth, whereas others do not have a problem with fslse reporting. After all tankies are called tsnkies, because they ignored that the Soviets used tanks to violently get rid of the Prague Spring. This happens on the left as well.

And yes that is why I like reading economics news websites like the economist. They report on subjects left leaning news tend to not care about, but which can be incredibly important. Also with rich people using their reporting as a bases for invedtments, makes it hugely important that they do not outright lie. Commentary on them is horrible though, unless they go somewhat agsinst the neoliberal norm, which is rarer, but usually some of the best stuff.

We had entire cilizations collapse entirly mostly due to ecological disasters. Illnesses were wipeing out huge parts of the population in some cases. Wars also used to be much more common.

The technologies we have do make the world a better place. Not alwasys, but on average.

False neutrality is propaganda, but so is being so is being activly biased. So a good left news source has to be wiling to show the fscts, when they speak against the left.

Cargo bikes are smaller then vans. So you can get closer to the destination, without having to carry the parcel.
