NEW: Our investigation for @thenerve_news reveals not only that Peter Thiel’s Palantir is completely enmeshed in our critical national infrastructure.
It’s also the ‘cloud support’ for our nuclear weapons system 🤯

Palantir hat in der Nähe von demokratischen Regierungen nichts - aber auch gar nichts zu suchen!

200 Milliarden Euro Schaden durch Steuerbetrug? Egal. 60 Milliarden umweltschädliche Subventionen? Was soll's. 30 Milliarden Euro Strafzahlung wegen verfehlter Klimaziele? Wir haben's ja. Aber die Bürgergeldbezieher – die sind unser Bankrott.

There are a hundred more important things to say, and I tried to say some of them in my essay for "Thinking About...", but: invading a country for oil is also just atavistic at this point. Even if it worked, which it won’t, it still wouldn’t work.
Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

unless you have a price tag on carbon (something you have already advocated for in 'Hot, Flat, and Crowded'). However, that is politically not feasible in the US - where climate policies labeled as such have no chance of success, after years of sowing of misinformation about climate change /2

It’s a good column—like most of your opinion pieces. However, I don’t agree with your condoning an 'all of the above' energy policy, as that might not align with the climate targets of the Paris Agreement, /1
