Limited liability is one of our weird silences. It's a massive free gift society makes to plutocrats, seldom remarked upon, let alone contested.
Shareholders should have to buy limited liability, like any other insurance. The insurers would then be liable. 🧵

Sorry to burden you with another jaw-dropping scandal. But what the government intends to do to chemicals regulation in the UK is chilling. Its consultation was slipped out so quietly that most of us missed it. When I read it, I saw why.

There is an answer:

Degrowth.

Work toward a circular economy in ‘democratic’ nations.

Autocratic states will follow, or face economic & political instability.

The West started us down this suicidal, fossil-fuel-addicted path. We must lead the world by example.
‘Keeping us hooked on fossil fuels’: how can we negotiate with autocracies on the climate crisis?
The bulk of global greenhouse gas emissions come from countries that are not democratic, and many big oil and gas exporters are also authoritarian

Tasmanian salmon is a classic case of why industry needs strong regulations to succeed. Tasmanian and federal regulators have failed to rein in the worst excesses of the fish farm industry. The industry is now under threat, because its products are toxic www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Studies show a massive return of fish and marine megafauna to sites with these underwater tidal turbines. How?

Simple: overfishing is prevented.

If they proved suitable for Irish locations, it would be *such* a win-win, generating clean electricity AND providing a haven for marine ecosystems.

I would politely suggest that officialdom in Irish Education (particularly the support services!) migrate their material and updates from X to here. It is so unfair that teachers are forced to engage with that platform in an effort to be informed. #edchatie

This struck a chord thinking of some principals I've met.

"Principals and their staff need a healthy relationship defined by trust and support. Many teachers I’ve worked with over the years don’t feel valued, respected or trusted. It’s them-and-us." #edchatie

I'm here at the Blinken press briefing, and Max Blumenthal just disrupted with questions about Blinken's role in the genocide. Will post video shortly.

(He will probably also post video, he was filming as well.)
