This might be the beginning of the end of Corporate Globalization

More & more, people with influence  are recognizing the destructiveness & failure of neoliberal globalization.  It's about time.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrEI2-7Ubiw

  The solution offered hearkens back to E.F. Schumacher's "Small is Beautiful"; at least, it's akin to that.  Again, IT'S ABOUT TIME that happened.  This could be the beginning of the overthrow of global corporatism.  Let's hope so.  Perhaps policy makers will start seeing that all those "cheap" goods have social, economic, & environmental costs which have not been taken into account. 

Incidentally, the goods coming from Asia are not cheap in price.  Why?  Because the quality of them is so poor that they have to be replaced about ten times more than those made with durable materials, quality assurance, & quality control.  And, as has been shown over & over lately, with great distances come monstrous supply chain problems.  Suddenly the price of an item jumps up because it's scarce.

Finally, corporate globalization must go because mega companies (in general) :  a) don't really care much about customer satisfaction; and b) often evade accountability when they farm out manufacturing overseas.  International Trade can be responsibly done, but the WTO & the so-called "Free Trade Agreements" are an utter disaster.

Small is beautiful.  Let's have an economics as if people really mattered to the Powers-That-Be.  How about that?!

Not only my opinion.  Be Well

The horrible side of the High Tech Industry FAR outweighs the good side

Below is my reply - edited quite a bit - to an email which suggested the term "Tech Whiz Kids" (which I often use in writing & speech) is somewhat inaccurate because many of those people now are much older.

.....................

I have no problem with you or anyone substituting some other term for "kids" in "Tech Whiz Kids" (TWK).  But for me, they're all TWK, regardless of age.  "Kids" is not meant to be taken literally.  For me, it denotes an attitude.  In general, they are "playing with fire" when they develop things which atomize our society, & they don't even think about the unintended consequences.  By "atomize our society", I mean: depriving us of meaningful relationships with others (which, admittedly, usually is done by higher-ups in the Corporatocracy re things like labor unions) via luring us away from those relationships, or damaging them with gizmos designed to make each of us an island unto ourselves.  So, only one of many examples: some younger people think their 7,000 "friends" on some "social" medium actually are significant.  Why go out into the world & meet with real friends when I have my gizmo right here in the house with 7,000 "friends" on it?  

[Kids sometimes play with fire.]  

The adult TWK act irresponsibly also when they build-in obsolescence into their products.  It takes 500 lbs of raw materials to make one cell phone.  I don't know how many pounds it takes to make some of their larger crap which also has a short lifespan.  [Kids sometimes/often act irresponsibly.]

Their companies, usually run by TWK who moved up the corporate ladder, are often deceitful beyond belief.  One example:  I think it's Apple who claims to be 100% "Green".  In fact, they farm out the manufacture of products to other companies located in places with few to no environmental regulations.  Those other companies generally have egregious practices when it comes to pollution, etc.  But Apple technically can claim to be "Green".  [Kids often are deceitful.]

Bottom line:  I believe the High Tech Industry - despite the good & useful things it has done - has pretty much ruined our society, both physically/materially, spiritually (in a generic sense), and culturally.  It has atomized us, stolen our privacy, polluted the ecosphere, gobbled up natural resources, enabled dictatorial governments & oligarchs (with undemocratic, egregious surveillance programs/gizmos), enabled wars being fought with no soldiers (except drone operators, making illegal wars more numerous), promulgated infinite growth on a finite planet, & more.  I believe High Tech is in the top 5 worst industries in the history of our species.  As far as I can tell, the majority of TWK act just like spoiled, irresponsible, destructive kids.  They've contributed greatly to the ruination of our kids, our society, and our planet.  It seems their primary goal is to get rich...at almost any cost.

Just my opinion, & it won't change.  I think the "bad" side of High Tech far outweighs the "good" side.  Congress could change things for the better, but probably won't.  Except for a very few, most of our elected officials in the Fed Gov't favor the corporatists, not Main Street.  [Corporatism is not Adam Smith capitalism; essentially, it's fascism - the marriage of the power of the State to the power of Mega Biz.]  The good things about High Tech should be supported; the bad things should be boycotted.  Only consumers can significantly put High Tech on a better path.  The Fed Gov't has shown over & over it will do little to such effect.

Spend less than two minutes of your time on this...

A foreboding by Carl Sagan a quarter century ago which rings true today is found below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGanLUnjoPI

Start the clip at 2:25.  Everything described is due mostly to neoliberal policies, the influence of Plutocrats, crony capitalism, casino capitalism, a lack of Adam Smith capitalism combined with democratic socialism, the manipulation of Main Street by fearmongers, and the combined efforts of Establishment Democrats & Republicans.  This predicament is found in most of the developed world, especially in the USA.  A paradigm shift is needed to prevent a societal collapse.

Sustainability: Start at the Village/Town/City/COUNTY Level

https://steadystate.org/resisting-the-temptation-of-growth-at-the-county-level/  

and -

https://transitionnetwork.org/

Homo sapiens has been working on sustainability for planet Earth for at least thirty years or so.  Despite some progress (especially in Europe), we aren't close enough to where we should be.  National politicians all around the world seem to get side-tracked by neoliberal influences, which also inundate Main Street with "unlimited growth" propaganda.  So - often there's lots of hopeful talk at the national level, but action mostly becomes limited to kicking the can down the road.

The political Right here (in the USA) was co-opted decades ago, first by neocons, then by neolibs... and most of them on Main Street appear to be completely unaware of the coup.  They seem to think they're still in the "Conservative Movement".  That movement, started by Russell Kirk in the 1950's, is long dead.  The so-called conservatives of today are supporting an ideology which would be anathema to the original modern-day conservatives of the Kirk Era.  That ideology they're supporting is corporatist-globalist-neoliberalism, and it doesn't want to conserve much of anything, except for maybe Plutocratic Rule.  It's against Small Biz, anything rural, anything natural, and is working to utterly destroy Nature by  favoring infinite growth at any cost to our finite habitat.  Its goal is to have the entire world run by Big Biz Elites.  Forget family farms, the mom-and-pop corner store, and any kind of level playing field in the business-financial-economic-labor arena.  In general, neoliberals and the Super-Rich are against all of that.  

The kicker is this:  they finance most national political election campaigns.  That's why, in the USA, we've seen little progress toward sustainability over the past few decades.

The two links above show ways to get things rolling.  [Again, you have to copy and paste; the links are inactive.  As a Low-Tech or No-Tech person, I have no clue as to how to make them active.  Nor do I have the time to find out how.  I'm guessing Blogger makes them inactive in order to discourage people from leaving blogspot.  In my opinion, that's not a good idea.]

If I recall correctly, the Transition Movement (the 2nd link) started in the UK.  It is spreading to countries around the world.  Kudos!  From the ground up is the way to start, rather than from the top down.  The top won't budge much at all until the bottom level starts a groundswell.

The Bibliography for "The Beginning of the Path to...", Plus More on the Crisis & Solutions

Tentatively, the full title of the book I'm writing is:  The Beginning of the Path to Human Extinction, and HOW TO GET OFF IT - Notes on a Paradigm Shift.  The bibliography below is incomplete because the book is not yet finished.  Hopefully, it will be by January, 2022.  Many of the following references can be found online, so those easily can be added to your socio-eco-econ-ethical Crisis "library" collection.  If you don't have such a collection, here's a grand start.

Some may think my use of the term "human extinction" is nothing but hyperbole.  The experiences (both non-work and work-related) and the education I've had in the last 79 years tell me it isn't.  We're at the beginning of that path.  It's time to get our heads out of the sand, shed the apathy or ignorance we seem to cling to, ignore the Edward Bernays style propaganda, and get to work.

Many people around the world have made laudable first steps toward transitioning to a sustainable human existence.  For the most part, I think those efforts have been on a micro scale, and that's a necessity.  Some of the efforts have been on a macro scale, and that's a good start.  But too many Powers-That-Be appear to still be tinkering around the edges of the Crisis, or kicking the can down the road.  For example, there's a lot of talk about "net-zero" (carbon emissions) by 2050.  What that amounts to is postponing actions which could be taken now, and would result in solutions within ten years.  Those solutions would not require new, unknown technology.  2050 will be too late.

It isn't only carbon that's being dumped into the atmosphere by us.  The natural Nitrogen Cycle is being overloaded with nitrogen oxides (N2Ox) by human activities - primarily factory farming, manufacturing, fossil fuel combustion, solid waste incineration, and wastewater management.  Like methane (CH4), N2Ox compounds are multiple times more potent a greenhouse gas than is CO2.  Currently, nitrogen oxide emissions from our actions amount to only about 7%  of greenhouse gas emissions, but their potency is a concern.

Drastic changes are necessary to solve these problems, so all of us need to get on board and convince our Leaders to act, not just talk.  We need to start phasing out fossil fuels NOW, rather than issuing new drilling permits.  Similarly, we need to start transforming factory farms NOW.  We need to support/encourage/subsidize family regenerative farms NOW, rather than providing welfare to fossil fuel corps.  We need to significantly reduce or eliminate the monstrous carbon footprint of cement/concrete manufacturing NOW.  We need to tax mega carbon emissions NOW, and then disburse the funds directly as a universal basic income.  We need to tax billionaires NOW.  They stood on the shoulders of society to get where they are.  Society provided them with all kinds of infrastructure, communication, education, contacts, law enforcement, a civil habitat, etc.  [Yes, they helped pay for all that...but then, so did we all.]  Those are only a few of the things that could be done now, but there's little to no action because of the undue influence of corporatism/neoliberalism.

NOTE:  Due to faulty copy-and-paste Tech algorithms (or maybe something else), the references below did not "paste" onto this venue quite right.  I spent an hour just correcting the transfer, but didn't get to things such as the proper indentation of each entry's 2nd (& 3rd, if applicable) line.  In other words, the bibliographic form below isn't exactly correct, but it's readable.

Here's your bibliography for the education & tools needed to prevent the extinction of Homo sapiens.  There are many inspiring, brilliant, and useful references below.  The ones I think are the most illuminating are marked with an asterisk *.  Find the ones which most appeal to you.
