German politician Nico Semsrott has suggested that we give billionaires one year to solve the climate crisis. If they fail to do so, we should dispossess them. I think that’s a wonderful idea! It's never going to happen, but it's nice to dream.

Hier erklärt Roda Verheyen, warum sie nach dem „verlorenen“ Prozess gegen #RWE wegen der Verantwortung des Konzerns für Klimaschäden „Tränen, aber vor Glück“ vergossen hat. Das ist ein Präzedenzfall, der die Fossilbranchen sehr nervös machen wird. https://www.zeit.de/wissen/umwelt/2025-05/klimaklage-rwe-saul-lliuya-urteil-anden-olg-hamm

Addressing climate change is not a “pass/fail” scenario. It is a process of mitigating severity that will happen in our lifetimes.

Saying “it’s over, do whatever you want” is both foolhardy and literally incorrect.

We can always make a difference — and will continue to do so.

@nuthatch Totally. And I generally don’t read him because I already know most of what he’s on about, if not some of the specifics he mentions, but I will skim stuff occasionally if put in front of me.

But at some point I need to stop for self preservation reasons.

@octothorpe sadly, absolutely true

More than 20 years in my company, and the number of people in key roles without any competence has progressively increased, and it has skyrocketed since a "wanna-be-elon" bought us a few years ago

@Overwhelmed Ugh. But yeah. TBH, one of the ways I self-sabotage is not being able to work well with idiots. I’m not saying I need to be the smartest bloke (on the contrary), but don’t be a fucking muppet and bullshit everyone in front of me, because I will absolutely call you the fuck out in front of everyone.

It’s career limiting, but raise the fucking bar, eh??

Show threadOverwhelmedMay 23
@octothorpe for many reasons, I never had a real career: among them, never supported liars pretending they were the ones doing the job.
But we are approaching an important timeline (regulations, so we have to comply without excuses) and everyday we find something that was declared as "done" in the checklist but in fact it's completely missing. And these a**holes are in very high positions.
But I'm really tired of all of them, so I'm not sure if I'll help repair to their mess.

You might "enjoy" reading my 2009 essay Fiduciary Duty vs. The Three Laws of Robotics, which explains why "legal people" (corporations) are almost by definition "legal sociopaths".

@octothorpe and I would stress that the problem is even worse in education management and possibly also care work. I thought that I had had some shit managers in tech, but hoo boy - the educational "leadership" I have been subjected to as a teacher is some next level toxic bullshit!

@octothorpe So basically you're saying business is a LLM, catering for expectations not reality.

The Shareholder Supremacy

I promise you, everything that's happening makes sense. It all feels so chaotic, so utterly, offensively stupid, so disconnected from reality that it's hard to understand how Meta can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable, or how Meta, Microsoft and Google can proliferate unprofitable, unsustainable

@octothorpe And this is why they are all obsessed with AI. AI is a reimplementation of those executives and also consultants. It's a bullshit machine that looks like it's making shit happen.
They can't see the problem because they don't see why they are the problem, nor have enough contact with actual workers to realise that it doesn't work like that

@octothorpe I like especially the part of complete disjoint between the interest of the customer and shareholder. This is especially true in economy of my country which is limited to the scale 7x smaller then US and also not able to colonize other countries (which I don't really want to). I sometimes really feel as I have little to say/choose on products and services I buy. Happy to be in EU which is under constant critique of "overregulation" but this is also far from my sphere of impact.
