As so often stated by me...big blame has to go to the 'social media' and equally to be blamed the users of this SM for believing anything and everything they read. The 'art' of thinking for oneself is, sadly, vanishing. Brain lazy? And now, with the ever expanding use of AI, things will only get worse. There is a serious need to come up with solution(s) that are NOT related to money making.
"There is a serious need to come up with solution(s) that are NOT related to money making."
Making money has become a criminal activity, as the major sources of income are coming from gambling and money laundering. One activity that I have noticed is the promise of large multi-million developments ON PUBLIC LAND, essentially 3P projects. Not a new thing, just much more transparent.
Nelson, BC is my example. Our public 18 hole golf course is about to be defaced by a $500 million suggested development and promoted as the "only way out" of the financial hole it is in. The city was unable to manage it financially. About 10 years ago I had mentioned to city councillors to remediate the land and develop market gardens on the land to support Nelson citizens and promote food security. The atmosphere changed from a limited optimism to "one could cut the air with a knife".
Wars and neoliberalism are just two ideologies dedicated to impoverishing nation states. Governments are in corporate capture. P3s are designed for private profiteering at public expense. Site C dam is one such rip off.
