[public finance][economic integration] I’ve previously written about the significance of economic integration - aka employment - to public health. We should all be invested in making the government the “employer of last resort,” guaranteeing employment to anyone who is not employed by the private sector. Why? And how?

Here’s Cory Doctorow: “the US government could hire every single unemployed person without creating inflationary pressure on wages, because inflation only happens when the US government tries to buy something that the private sector is also trying to buy, bidding up the price. To be “unemployed” is to have labor that the private sector isn’t trying to buy. They’re synonyms. By definition, the feds could put every unemployed person to work (say, training one another to be teachers, construction workers, etc — and then going out and taking care of the sick, addressing the housing crisis, etc etc) without buying any labor that the private sector is also trying to buy.”

Much more like this from me on unconventional views on finance.

Oh, you think that would push up the national debt - and that’s a bad thing? Comment if you want me to address that, and I will. Also, there’s a movie about it.

The original version of this was inspired by our recently-passed pup who - one day to my surprise - smelled like both a barnyard and a tidepool. So now you know the story. Sharing b/c we all need a serene view, once in a while.

We need more, not less investment in transitioning from polluting industries and energy sources, as much as we need those energy sources in the interim to make the transitions!

I went to MetaFB to post this, but FB wasn't working:

if things worked the way they were promised to work, we wouldn't have as many problems as we have.

People work! Maybe people work too much, at times, so are less effective than they even could be.

But things went the other way - and a lot worse - when the California Genocide commenced.

Rates of evolution are a topic I cultivate knowledge around. Relatedly,

"...collapse, or extinction, may occur when external changes occur too fast for evolutionary adaptation to keep up...."

Rate-induced collapse in evolutionary systems | Journal of The Royal Society Interface Recent work has highlighted the possibility of ‘rate-induced tipping’, in which a system undergoes an abrupt transition when a perturbation exceeds a critical rate of change. Here, we argue that this is widely applicable to evolutionary systems: collapse, ...

and meanwhile on planet earth (I know I'm preaching to the choir, so to speak, but it's urgent that we apply systems transformation to the current moment)
