If a billionaire is a policy failure, a trillionaire is a civilizational one.

One person hoarding that much wealth in a world where people are in need — hungry, sick, homeless — is the end product of a society undergoing the complete collapse of human decency.

A trillionaire is an obscenity.

The rebellions continue!

The publisher Springer put pressure on a journal's editors to accept more papers, to make more money. The editors resigned and started their own journal, which is peer reviewed and 'diamond open access'. That means FREE to publish in and FREE to read!

And they did this with the help of Open Library for Humanities: an organization that coordinates 35 journals like this, and develops software to make it easy for you to set up your own.

The executive director, Caroline Edwards, says:

“It’s fantastic to be supporting another research community to regain editorial control of its journal and leave Springer Nature. At Open Library for Humanities we’re seeing a growing number of furious academics ready to withdraw their labour from unscrupulous commercial publishers like Springer Nature."

Warning: Misinformation.

Good news. After massive public backlash from both retail & pension funds, S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that it will keep its existing eligibility requirements for benchmarks including the S&P 500, closing the door to fast entry for big tech IPOs like SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI and delaying billions of dollars in flows from passive funds. This is will save retail investors retirement savings going to scam companies.
