La. regulators approve Entergy power plants for Meta’s AI data center Louisiana Public Service Commissioners voted four to one to approve Entergy’s three new gas plants to power Meta’s largest-ever data center.

Louisiana has to build three new natural gas power plants to accommodate the "AI" data center that Meta just crammed through because said center will use *Three Times* as much electricity (and, thus, attendant resources) as the *Entire City Of New Orleans*, every year.

Y'all this isn't sustainable.

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy: DOGE’s Construction of a Surveillance State (Gift Article) DOGE is rapidly assembling a sprawling monitoring system, the foundation of many authoritarian regimes.

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.

But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.

Varieties of Economic Elites? Preliminary Results From the World Elite Database (WED) The strategies, decisions and beliefs of those who occupy prominent positions of economic power have influence on very large corporations and the markets they dominate, on vast amounts of economic re...

The very first paper from our large comparative project - the World Elite Database - is out.

Lots of coordination and important discussion on comparing elites allow us to - for the first time really - compare elites across very different national contexts.

A diagram with boxes and arrows divided into “climate/policy change”, “Biophysical impacts” and “Monetary impacts” columns. Arrows tend to go from left to right, explaining how climate change and policies (boxes in the left column), impact labor and physical capital (middle column) which results in changes to monetary flows and financial valuation.

Wealth is derived from the financial valuation of real assets & liabilities, and so physical impacts of climate change, changes in expectations about future profits due to impacts and policies, and current rates of return all combine to determine its amount.

Antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik ist dringender denn je Die Wirtschaftskrise in Deutschland hat zum Erstarken von Merz und Weidel geführt. Jetzt braucht es eine Wirtschaftspolitik, die dem Rechtsruck die Basis entzieht.

Anti-faschistische Wirtschaftspolitik ist jetzt dringender denn je.

AfD WählerInnen machen sich mehrheitlich große Sorgen um ihre wirtschaftliche Lage. Das Monopol über eine Alternative zum deprimierenden Status Quo darf nicht der AfD überlassen werden.
