  RE: https://toot.cat/@devopscats/116933217149376349 Back in the 80s, when Friday long lunches were still a thing. My work place deemed that if you weren't back by 3pm, that you'd taken the afternoon off. On the grounds you'd do more damage than good. Also, the Friday/last work day before long weekends, especially Christmas and Easter, there was a change moratorium.

  @ketan@climatejustice.social And ignore the fact that petroleum is a non renewable resource. You can only burn it once, and none is being made in practical time frames [the process take several million years, minimum].

  @dalfen@mstdn.social I think the core question is, is China on the developing to a highly-developed, mixed market economy path OR is the Chinese model fundamentally different (until the oligarchs can achieve state capture)?

  @dalfen@mstdn.social "How much do you have to invest?" Update: Actually if it's *government* money, not Trump and cronies taking private stakes, it's good policy in principle.

The problem is, you know Trump & co don't have the situational awareness to do strategic industrial policy in any time frame.

  What I love is how Zohran Mamdani's father Mahmood found out about Marx. "Soon after, he learned about Karl Marx's work from an FBI visit." -wikipedia FBI guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died.

  @jhaue A hidden part of McCarthyism. Pressure employer/associates to dismiss and Blacklist any one who's a threat to Wall Street elites. Seems that Ms Tame was black listed as a public speaker. Similar happens in Australian media. Assertive leftists and subject experts who don't take shit from right panelists*, don't get asked back. Only the meek get return visits. Seen this happen on The Drum and Q+A. * Especially shouty former Lib/Nat MPs/Senators.

  France 'moved' 129 tonnes of gold from New York to Paris, between July 25 and January 26. It's only become public in the last few day. I'm not surprised it happened. Interesting who's covering it. Online website, some far-right media and Chinese media. https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/commodities/articles/france-pulls-15b-gold-us-171300099.html
