Economics Not Culture Wars Drove Most Trump Voters – Thomas Ferguson. Situational Assessment: Right Now - Deep Code - Medium. The story of the unfolding meta-crisis that we have been watching for the last decade has become enormously more salient over the past few weeks.
This is a moment of major risk along many different fronts. It is also a moment of singular opportunity. Foremost among them is to learn. The economy of the future is circular. Here's how entrepreneurship can help. My five year old daughter asked me recently if she could take a bag and her gardening gloves to school.
I said yes, of course – but why? She replied that at recess, she had started collecting the garbage in her school yard and there was too much to carry in her hands – hence the need for a bag. Initially, I was filled with pride that this little person who I can barely get out of the door on time in the morning had not only absorbed my constant nagging about the importance of protecting our environment – but that she had truly understood and taken matters into her own hands. An activist at five years old. However, after hearing Greta Thunberg’s powerful words during the UN Climate Summit, I suddenly felt conflicted.

As the Amys introduced him, he stood up and stuck out his hand. He didn’t speak any English, but smiled and offered a chair and his business card, which had his information in Chinese characters on one side and in English on the other. He didn’t seem suspicious, nor ask any personal questions. “This is our head office,” he said. “We have 30 branch companies in China.” Mining- Greta Thunberg and AOC.

Apologia? “Civil War” Monuments. In 2016, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released the “Whose Heritage?”
Report on the Confederate symbols in the United States. This report had one thesis: The Confederate monuments, memorials, and namesakes were erected ruing the “Jim Crow” era to vindicate white supremacy without consideration of other factors.[1] The report was based on no documented sources, but the charting of monuments and namesakes was used to make a claim the rise of Confederate monuments were attributed to “Jim Crow” racism. Thus, the fallacy was born, an fallacy that is easily refuted by even a cursory examination of readily available source material. First, many Northern states had Jim Crow laws with New York considered the Northern capital of Jim Crow.[2] In fact, one can make a case—and many did—that Northern attitudes in regard to blacks were harsher than Southerners who had nearly a three-hundred-year history of race relations.

White evangelical Christians in particular are, on average, more likely to question whether human activity contributed to the Earth’s warming, with research by Pew suggesting 28 percent accept this view, compared with 64 percent of those without a religious affiliation, 56 percent of black Protestants, and 41 percent of mainline Protestants. Over a third of evangelical Christians say there is “no solid evidence” that climate change is happening.
7 Things You Need to Do Now to Prepare for the Next Recession. In the TV show “Game of Thrones,” the motto of House Stark is “Winter is coming.”
These words serve as a warning; even in a world where summer often lasts for years at a time, it’s certain that winter will come again, and it’s important to be prepared for it. Change the word “winter” to “recession,” and this warning makes just as much sense in our world. Like the climate in “Game of Thrones,” our economy moves in cycles, with years of economic growth followed by years of decline.
