@tante@tldr.nettime.org I'm literally crying because of this press release. It's beyond infuriating.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Voting for right-wing MEPs causes this. And the corporate-owned media will direct the unthinking "centrists" and "conservatives" to vote for exactly that sort of corrupt right-wing MEPs. So everybody else has to work twice as hard to stop those bastiches from taking over the EU as well.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org My theory of Mark Carney (a data center booster for Canada) is that he has economist brain and fears missing out on the capex spending party. This validates that world leaders really *are* that stupid. Ignoring the short-sightedness of the environmental impacts, and that the data centers aren't profitable and have no future, here's the bigger problem: THE MONEY ISN'T SPENT LOCALLY. There is a bit of construction work, but the majority is poured into e-waste manufacturing overseas.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org Every “democracy” is a capitalist “democracy”. Every government serves the interests of capital. Until the people realize that “their” governments have no interest in people, these atrocities will continue, all the way to the end of the biosphere. Government by the interests of profit must end, in order for government in the interests of the people to begin.

@tante@tldr.nettime.org the will be no 30 billions. The statement says “unlocking 30 bn” - it means there is no fresh money, just things like loan guarantees. This is typical EU creative accounting
