The U.S. and its allies have stressed a desire to "de-risk,” not "decouple,” from the Chinese economy as a way to explain a slew of new trade restrictions on Beijing. The problem is, for China there’s no difference. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/05/30/business/economy-business/us-derisking-decoupling-china/?utm_content=bufferfd32c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #news #economy #china #europe #us #trade #eu #chipmakers #supplychains #economicsecurity #tech

Economic pondering.
If the primary directive was to make a monetary profit, that agenda would cause bias & perversion, therefore a monopolized market economy that was dominated by large corporations.
Agents with the incentive to make a profit, money, out of people & resources. The system would reward people to perceive other people as resources (labour efficiency drives or even slave labour)
How perverse would a profit incentive be for a health system, for example?

Nicht nur im Lebensmittelhandel ist die Preisbildung intransparent. Kürzlich hat der Preisüberwacher die Margenentwicklung bei Raffinerien und Tankstellen untersucht. Anlass dazu war, dass der Benzinpreis vor einem Jahr auf Fr. 2.20 pro Liter gestiegen war, sich dieser Anstieg aber mit den Rohölpreisen nicht erklären liess. Doch nicht einmal der Preisüberwacher blickt durch.

The Lincoln Project
#ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Economy: "A new working paper by two climate scientists and one climate economist, using the most up-to-date data available, concludes the best path for the global economy would involve a rapid and dramatic cut in climate pollution to meet the ambitious Paris target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial temperatures — a target that is quickly slipping out of reach.
The new study adds to research over the past decade that has incorporated newer, more realistic representations of climate damages into economic models. Several other updated analyses also have concluded that meeting the Paris targets would result in the best economic outcome. Fewer experts are basing their advice on prior studies that actually concluded a potentially catastrophic amount of global warming would be economically optimal."

@TeamMidwest Unfortunately I think it's part of a much larger trend of squeezing workers to the maximum.
I stood at my local CVS pharmacy the other day waiting for a shot, about 10 minutes. In that time I saw 7 workers being productive at a breakneck pace. Given that they handle prescription drugs, it seems likely that mistakes can happen. But it was absolutely insane.

Mike Luckovich commenting on why the Repubicans are willing to crash the economy.
"These Republicans want chaos because they know the media – and, as a result, the public — will blame President Biden, both in the short term and in the long. …
They want to ruin his presidency and they don’t care who suffers in the process."
"Republican House members – by demanding full compliance with entirely unrealistic demands – appear hellbent on defaulting on the national debt, sending the stock market and the economy into a tailspin while depriving the most fragile members of our society of the federal payments on which they depend."

We have been told for generations that lowering taxes on the rich helps the economy, and that "increased entitlements" are a burden the taxpayer cannot afford.
These are lies. The truth, borne out by history is this:
Programs that help the poor, the working poor and those unable to work, actually benefit the overall economy and are not a net tax burden on the taxpayers. 1/2

What might degrowth actually look like, on a personal level? How would your life be different?
One way to answer this is to consider what daily living was like for those who came before us. How did your grandparents or great-grandparents live?
Assuming those people were born somewhere between the end of the 19th century and the middle of the 20th, here are a few of the things many of us consider to be necessities today that they probably lived some or all of their lives without...
Personal computers.
Laptops.
Smartphones.
Voice-activated devices.
Mobile phones of any kind.
The Internet.
Google.
Cloud storage.
YouTube.
Credit cards.
Debit cards.
Big houses.
Multiple bathrooms in one home.
Online shopping.
Cheap airfare.
Online financing and mortgages.
Huge closets full of clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Dishwashers.
Kitchen electrics.
Automatic ice makers.
Overnight mail delivery.
Fast food.
Drive-up windows.
Food imported from all over the globe.
Television.
Netflix.
Amazon.
Plastic.
Disposable diapers.
Disposable tissues.
Paper towels and napkins.
Disposable tableware.
Microwave ovens.
Ready-made foods at the grocery store.
Synthetic fabrics.
Automatic laundry machines.
Riding lawn equipment.
And so on. Not all of these necessarily would disappear if we chose degrowth, but many would. Do you think you could still be happy?
