Time to see ‘marketplace magic’ as the voodoo economics it really is
It seems more appropriate to speak of the myopia of the marketplace at a time when stocks are heading up , up and away from real problems and when we have a shareholder kleptocracy where markets are chasing quick profits instead of addressing terrestrial challenges. This might seem a rather harsh…#hollywood #ronaldreagan #margaretthatcher #newzealand #redsea #panamacanal #middleeast #princetonuniversity #angusdeaton #anthonyrowley (Source: Reuters: Health)

Here's why Apple stock is still worth holding despite Wall Street's shortsightedness
Got stopped by a faithful viewer while making a hard left turn with a full cart at Costco Sunday. Reasonable guy. Asked a double-edged question: "What can you do to make my Apple stock go up."

Researchers protest end of NSF grants to program using data from its $1 billion ecology network
U.S. ecologists are protesting a decision by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to abruptly end funding for studies that rely on its one-of-a-kind network of 81 ecological research sites that debuted just 4 years ago. They believe the move undermines the emerging field of macrosystems biology and limits the potential of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). And after getting the cold shoulder from the research directorate that made the decision, scientists are taking the unusual step of pleading with NSF’s director to reverse the decision. “NSF is jeopardizing its investment in NEON,” leaders o...

School of fish and coral. Credit: UNDP SeychellesBy Midori PaxtonNEW YORK, Dec 6 2023 (IPS) As COP28 delegates focus on the first Global Stocktake, there is no doubt that the race to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions is vital. But while electric vehicles and solar power uptake have seen visible and welcome progress in particular, the transition to a thriving future on a healthy planet requires much more than decarbonization alone. Don’t get me wrong. Decarbonization is a must. It has to be done. But focus on just one lane of what must be a systemic transition to a liveable planet is dangerously myopic. Water vapor, for e...

Job cuts at Thames Water will worsen services, says UNISON
Plans to axe dozens more jobs at Thames Water are shortsighted and will worsen services for customers, warns UNISON. Thames Water has announced that a further 126 jobs are at risk, less than a fortnight after the company announced plans to remove 300 roles. UNISON deputy head of environment Gavin Edwards said: “Water industry staff provide an essential service. Any job cuts will put extra pressure on those who remain to maintain a vital resource. “But the reality is that customers could well see their services deteriorate. “Thames Water hasn’t made the case for a single job cut. Announcing another unnecessary reduc...

Age, it seems, has compensated for a myopic youth.“The short-sightedness I had can be seen, if you like, on an increasing graph over time. But as I got this ancient, the long-sightedness of old age has been creeping up from the opposite direction,” he told theMailOnline on Wednesday.Continue reading...
