Maybe one day fusion will finally deliver and we might have cheap and clean energy with no consequences to the environment other than a few big reactors in a country. But until that day arrives and we work that out we have to transfer and Wind, Solar and batteries are winning because they are cheaper than gas, coal and nuclear.

That gets in the way of corporations making money out of "normal market movements". Its just supply and demand when companies do it, the moment the working class tries to do the same they find themselves getting punished. If its illegal its going to need to be illegal for companies too and this means governments have to start doing their job again and reigning in corporate criminality.

The main thing we learned from the Germans was almost any onecould do unspeakable things with enough propaganda and authority pressure. Most countries did not learn and change enough to stop such an event from occurring again, they assumed it was just a fault in German culture and most of the attempt to pursue and convict Nazis ceased with most getting away with their crimes against humanity. We determined no way to deprogram Nazism.
Maybe this spin of Nazism across the globe and the horrors it is unleashing will put in place the right reaction when popularism starts lying to the public to gain votes and stop it before it becomes a movement.

He made that pretty clear in the run up to the election really, commit to nothing and do nothing just deliver soundbites. All he ever cared about was being in government, he had no reason to be doing it other than the power itself.

They finally realise that supporting a genocide might land them in the hague for crimes against humanity. It might, it certainly should but I fear that today the rich and powerful are beyond the reach of the law.

That was the point, politicians all over the EU have designed the system to do exactly that. The entire dither and delay tactics and watering down of measures, laws and scrutiny were all in the pursuit of extraction of maximum money from the governments into private hands in the name of investments and the politicians took their bribes to make it happen.

No most people in the developed nations earn less than this. It's heavily biased towards Americans and high earners, the typical just above the minimum wage earner isn't in this group.

One of the issues here is that being a Chinese paper in any field is still the most correlated with the paper being faked in some way. So while china is producing a lot of science and good science its also the world leader in garbage fake science too and it needs to get a handle on the problem.
