So wie die #CDU_shit_show anfängt, Verhandlungsmasse und Alternativen gegenüber der #SPDbeton aufzubauen, und Teile der realo-#Grünen naturgemäß an allen Machtoptionen interessiert sind, müssten halt auch die progressiven Teile der @GrueneBundestag (und @dielinke und #SPD @klimaforum) langsam mal in die Pötte kommen, eine linke Idee / Alternative #R2G #G2R #GRR aufzubauen! Denn sonst läuft es am Ende mangels Alternativen ähnlich wie in #BaWü doch wieder auf ein (mit diesen Neokonservativen unbefriedigendes) schwarz-grünes Bündnis auf Bundesebene hinaus! #JustSaying #Servicetröt #ProTipp

Am Rande: Nur die im Artikel von #SvenSiebert und #SaraSievert @ #tableMedia vertretenen Ansicht, dass es zwischen den Sozen und der #CDUCSUkorrupt aufgrund der Kompromisslosigkeit der SPD nicht funktioniert, scheint etwas lächerlich: Die SPD hat aktuell ja kaum inhaltliches Profil und trägt jedwede Politik mit. Wenn schon, dann funktioniert es wegen des Ideologie-getriebenen Fossil-und Finanzlobby-Kurs der #Merz-, #Linnemann- und #Reiche- #Blackrock CxU nicht!

yahoo news | Bitcoin News: Morgan Stanley Just Launched the Cheapest Bitcoin ETF on the...

Morgan Stanley, which once dismissed Bitcoin as worthless, has entered the crypto market by launching its own spot Bitcoin ETF, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (ticker MSBT). The fund charges a 0.14 % annual fee—lower than any other spot Bitcoin ETF, including BlackRock’s IBIT at 0.25 %—and is backed by the bank’s roughly 16,000 financial advisors who can now direct clients straight into MSBT for Bitcoin exposure. This advisor‑driven distribution model sets the offering apart from previous ETFs that were launched solely by asset managers.

On its first day of trading, MSBT attracted about $34 million in net inflows, with more than 1.6 million shares exchanged and the fund purchasing 430 BTC. Bloomberg’s ETF analyst noted that this debut placed MSBT in the top 1 % of all ETF launches over the past year, a striking contrast to the typical sub‑$1 million openings for new ETFs. The fund’s low fee and the broader market tailwind—Bitcoin ETFs posted their first positive monthly inflows of 2026 in March, drawing $1.32 billion—enhance its appeal, especially for wealth‑management clients allocating six‑ or seven‑figure sums where fee savings compound over time.

For existing investors in BlackRock’s IBIT, there is no immediate need to switch, as IBIT’s massive $53 billion in assets and deep liquidity still offer better pricing and execution. However, for Morgan Stanley wealth‑management clients or newcomers to Bitcoin, MSBT presents a more convenient and cost‑effective entry point, given its integration with the firm’s advisory network and the bank’s broader crypto strategy, which includes upcoming Ethereum and Solana trusts and retail crypto trading on E*Trade. The shift from a former skeptic to a full‑scale crypto player underscores a significant change in how institutional finance views Bitcoin’s long‑term role.

yahoo news | We need to work together to hold data centers accountable | Letter

We are being sold hyperscale data centers—facilities built to support AI and ChatGPT—as job‑creating powerhouses, yet in the long run they threaten the very employment they promise. Replacing human workers with AI‑driven processes not only erodes creativity and critical thinking, it steers society toward a sterile, mechanized future that we should not accept.

The surge of these massive centers is inflating utility rates in regions where they cluster, forcing the PJM grid to consider making these centers generate their own power instead of saddling ratepayers with the cost of reviving costly, fossil‑fuel plants to meet the excess demand. As corporations such as BlackRock and Amazon flood the nation with applications, grids like MISO and PJM treat each proposal as a real build, pushing rates higher, even though renewable energy paired with battery storage is now the cheapest and quickest solution. Untapped non‑agricultural spaces—rooftops, highway medians, parking lots—could meet demand without harming the environment.

We must stand together to hold these corporations accountable and demand responsible growth. No amount of profit justifies desecrating peaceful communities or suffocating a fragile ecosystem. By championing renewable alternatives and rejecting the unchecked fetish for AI‑driven control, we can protect both our livelihoods and the planet. Anne Logue, Springfield.

yahoo news | BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's Pay Rose by 23% in 2025

BlackRock Chief Executive Larry Fink’s total compensation jumped 23 percent in 2025, surpassing $37.7 million, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2026. The bulk of the increase—about $7 million—came from larger stock‑award allocations, raising his stock‑award value to $24.6 million from $18.2 million the prior year.

Fink’s other miscellaneous compensation also rose modestly, climbing roughly $500,000 to $1.1 million, while his base salary and cash bonus remained unchanged from the previous year. The rise in stock‑award value reflects BlackRock’s approach of rewarding its top leaders through equity incentives rather than fixed cash components.

Other senior executives saw comparable gains: President Robert Kapito’s total pay grew to $25.7 million from $21.8 million, driven by higher stock awards and a slightly larger bonus; COO Robert Goldstein’s compensation rose 19 percent to $15.6 million; and CFO Martin Small’s pay surged 44 percent to $13.6 million. Additionally, BlackRock raised the stock‑ownership thresholds for both Fink and Kapito by 50 percent, setting new targets of $15 million and $7.5 million respectively.
