I think it's completely inevitable that corporate capitalism will see political power as a potential block and as a potential opportunity. Once it develops enough power via wealth, it will attempt to skew the marketplace by manipulating politics in its favour, both by eliminating the block and creating market conditions that give it free rein. And protecting it from failure by promoting the idea of being "too big to fail". | |

The current crisis seems to me to be caused by the political system failing to keep corporate capitalism in check as the corporate world has bought it and skewed the market place so that risk is rewarded when it works and saved at no cost when it fails. Having created that environment, it's hardly surprising that the corporate world will pursue risk until it fails spectacularly. It will dominate the discussion, so that it becomes impossible to discuss alternatives meaningfully. | |

I don't see Corporate Capitalism as evil, because it's simply following its set of ethics to their logical conclusion. I don't see massive executive salaries as evil because it's simply Capitalism rewarding itself. I do think our elected political leaders have failed in their job because they've allowed themselves to be bribed. And I think both the Corporate and Political systems of ethics have lost sight of any input that might have come from the Moral viewpoint. | |

There are three main ethical drivers in western society. Corporate ethics, focussed on quarterly growth in shareholder value and personal wealth. Political Ethics, focussed on long term health of the whole society and personal power. Moral Ethics, that provide a framework for deciding if particular policies are good or bad. Simplistic philosophy is simplistic. The Political Sphere is necessary to keep the Corporate Sphere in check. To do the things that are too big or long term for Corporates. | |

Message from the "It's not real till it's someone you know" desk. Family member and partner (NHS) have got that "really nasty cold that's going around". Just sent us a message "think it might be Covid". Weird, no temperature, but upper respiratory, achy, brain fog. Another family member staying with us for a bit longer as their house full of hospitality people have all gone down with that "really nasty cold that's going round". Bristol. Be careful out there. | |

What are Labour's policies on Covid, Long Covid and associated long term sickness in the workforce? I think we should have been told by now. | |

It looks like daily global 2m air temperature is into record territory again. Currently #1 in the records. The average for the whole of October is probably #2 but it's very close to 2023 and well above the rest. Big sections of the Arctic and Canadian Archipelago are way warmer than usual for the date. The Atlantic side is barely cold enough to freeze. Sea temp is confused. The two sites below don't seem to agree. https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_daily/?dm_id=world | |
