Fossil fuels being subsidised at rate of $13m a minute, says IMF

Oil, gas and coal benefited from $7tn in support in 2022 despite being primary cause of climate crisis

The Guardian

I for one would be none-the-happier if the "global bank run" just goes through three banks: SVB, Credit Suisse, and UBS. And would just stop right then & there.

...Because yeah sure the Lehman Brothers bank run in 2008 ruined a lot of lives in the US and at many national economies the world over. But a bank run crisis was what also burned down the Soeharto regime in 1998, here in Indo, w/ physical riots, death & ultraviolence as result.

"Cryptocurrency will save the day"..? Get the dank ferrik out of here with that bantha poodoo. Stupid lazerbrain idiot.
