“We’re entering the age of finitude capitalism”
* "There are many states, or “company-states”, which are currently setting up new types of semi-formal colonisation, in various places." Interview with economist Arnaud Orain >>

* What kind of capitalism is possible in a world of limited resources? Arnaud Orain
"Adapted to a world of limited resources, this "capitalism of finitude" seeks to privatize and militarize the seas and territories, impose high prices, consolidate resource "silos," and reserve exclusive markets. Drastically reducing our energy consumption is one alternative to this authoritarian capitalism, but the means to protect it remain unclear.' >>

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt
The idea that our natural resources were inexhaustible still obtained, and there was as yet no real knowledge of their extent and condition. The relation of the conservation of natural resources to the problems of National welfare and National efficiency had not yet dawned on the public mind. The reclamation of arid public lands in the West was still a matter for private enterprise alone; and our magnificent river system, with its superb possibilities for public usefulness, was dealt with by the National Government not as a unit, but as a disconnected series of pork-barrel problems, whose only real interest was in their effect on the reëlection or defeat of a Congressman here and there — a theory which, I regret to say, still obtains.Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Autobiography, ch. 11 “The Natural Resources of the Nation” (1913)

President Donald Trump has said the U.S. was sending a hospital ship to Greenland because people there are not getting care, but the claim faces pushback. He said in a Truth Social post Saturday that the ship was already on the way, though at the time he posted, the two U.S. ships appeared to be docking in Alabama. Publicly available ship tracking data shows that on Tuesday one of the ships, the USNS Mercy, went out to sea. It's not clear from the public data where the ship is headed, and Pentagon officials didn't comment when asked about its destination. The leaders of Greenland and Denmark have defended their health care system in response to Trump's allegations.
