A continuing voice of reason in our time. We must move toward the good of the many outweighing the good of the few if we're going to survive as a species.

This, from Antonio Guterres via The Guardian:

...critics argue that endless, indiscriminate growth on a planet with finite resources is driving not only the climate and nature crisis but increasing inequality.

Guterres said: “Moving beyond gross domestic product is about measuring the things that really matter to people and their communities. GDP tells us the cost of everything, and the value of nothing. Our world is not a gigantic corporation. Financial decisions should be based on more than a snapshot of profit and loss.”
