  • In capitalism, the core problem is power of business owners over employees. Tech giants hold incredible power over all of their consumers - aka the entire world.

    The most famous billionaires are all tech giants like Zuck, Gates, Musk, Bezos. It’s because they are in the news all the time as they decide over everybody’s life now, despite not being elected.

    YouTube, Insta, Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and friends are the main way political opinions are formed, especially for teenagers. That power should be in the hands of millions of teachers, activists and journalists, not a handful of billionaires.

    Markets are supposed to keep capitalism in check. That doesn’t work so good but they seem to be even more ineffective in keeping the tech market in check, especially social media.







  • This is a huuuge load of crap. Nowhere does this clearly say that CO2 emissions are cut by 80%, just “ultrafine black carbon” which is a pollutant more than a greenhouse gas. Aviations worst impact is by far the greenhouse gases.

    The “sustainable fuel” that is so mysteriously alluded to, turns out to be made from “renewable biomass”. Plant-basid fuels have been around for a while, usually as a greenwashing stunt by industries that consume a lot of fossil fuels. The amount of farmland needed to produce even a small fraction of what’s needed in aviation is astronomical. Approaching 9 billion eaters, we can’t afford to make food vs fuel a debate (again).

    This whole article reads like it was written by the aviation company that paid for the research in the first place. This isn’t science, it’s propaganda.
