@GossiTheDog pretty shure #Apple's #Greedflation will not result in their #iPhone|s and other products to be sold #cheaper in the #EU, but instead they'll do #PriceGouging even harder!

  • And because #Fanboys are just beyond help, they still gonna buy that shite regardless!

Or does anyone expect Apple to stop #overcharging for their #AntiRepairDesign|ed products???

  • Hell no, Tim Cook wants to buy himself the dozenth house just from bonuses!!!

Going completely renewable with your electric power is quite a feat, but not unique.
Doing so completely 'off grid' [no support from other areas] is unique.
Proving what was already known: it's so much cheaper.

Force Capitalism to Stop Climate Change

Central banks should stop pretending to be neutral about saving the planet

It is clear to everyone that decarbonization is happening far too slowly.

💥Even the best-performing high-income countries are not reducing their emissions fast enough to achieve the Paris Agreement objectives
—not even close.

And one big reason is that even though 🔸renewables are now routinely #cheaper than fossil fuels,
they are still not nearly as #profitable.

🔥Returns on fossil fuel investments are around three times higher than returns on renewables,
largely because
👉 fossil fuels are more conducive to #monopoly power while
👉the renewable sector is highly #competitive.❗

Commercial banks allocate capital on the basis of #profitability, not social and #ecological #objectives.
🔥The result is that we get massive investment in sectors such as SUVs, fast fashion, industrial animal farming, private jets, and advertising
—even though we know they are ecologically destructive and must be reduced
—but we suffer critical underinvestment in areas that are clearly necessary for the ecological transition,
such as public transit, agroecology, or building retrofits, because they tend to be less profitable.

Remarkably, there is currently 💥no plan for phasing down fossil fuel investments.
This is a structural problem, and we need to face up to it.
❌Waiting for capital to speed up decarbonization in line with the Paris Agreement is a strategy that’s doomed to fail.

The Youth should know there are WAY CHEAPER, and better, alternatives to expensive Gillette razor blades

In hindsight now, I wish my father would have told me about safety razor shaving with universal standard double edge razor blades, when I started to shave!

I was probably taken in by all the Gillette advertising, and of course, I’d never experien ...continues

“It has been proven that the #fossil fuel #industry caused the climate crisis and deliberately #lied about it as they hid the science. So finding out that they knew #renewable #energy was such a threat to their industry that they had to lobby #policymakers to rig the #market against #cleaner and #cheaper technology to protect #profits is just par for the course.”

Why are #ultraprocessed #foods popular?
Is it that they're often #cheaper, already portion sized (no half an onion & odd #herbs to use up) & faster to #prepare?
People are #time, #energy & #money deprived. #Healthy #eating takes more #planning, often #costs more & you need to be #home to #cook (not doing 2 #jobs).
I suspect #healthyeating is now a privilege & easier if you already know how to #cookfromscratch. I'm lucky I don't need to #eat #readymeals
