We are spending down a natural inheritance accumulated over geological time, entering the draw-down in the growth column, and refusing to note the corresponding reduction in assets. The net position is deteriorating, and the growth figure is a fiction. Selling one's mother's saris and calling the proceeds a salary is a known indicator of household ruin; we are doing it at planetary scale and printing the receipts as quarterly results." https://dailypioneer.com/news/the-bill-the-planet-has-been-paying-for-you-the-bill-the-planet-has-been-paying-for-you @CelloMomOnCars@mastodon.social We counted both as income, and neither was income. One was looting and the other was selling the inheritance. #sixthextinction, #capitalism, #NoBillionaires, #noai.
Open post Pollinators @Pollinators@epicure.social · 5mo ago Replying to @BrambleBearSnoring@mastodon.ie @Pollinators@epicure.social @PermaSolarPotter@mastodon.green Thanks for the tip! We used to have yummy little Maine shrimp, that could have been made into paste, but we lost them to climate chaos. Hoping maritime Canada still has some. @BrambleBearSnoring@mastodon.ie @PermaSolarPotter@mastodon.green Damn the fossil fuel industry. #sixthextinction, #megafauna, #CapitalismIsADeathCult
