California's attorney general, Rob Bonta, is taking the fight to the oil and gas industry, but over plastics. His office announced an investigation and issued a subpoena to ExxonMobil over its role in the plastics crisis. Bonta said, "In California and across the globe, we are seeing the catastrophic results of the fossil fuel industry's decades-long campaign of deception. Plastic pollution is seeping into our waterways, poisoning our environment and blighting our landscapes," according to a press release from his office. He says the truth is the vast majority of plastic cannot be recycled and the recycling rate has never surpassed 9%. Every week we consume the equivalent of a credit card worth of plastic through the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. According to the complaint, in the 1950s, 1.5 million tons of plastic were produced annually. Today, that number has skyrocketed to more than 300 million tons.

above and below right The abandoned former Soviet diplomatic housing complex in Warsaw. photos:  MAIEK NABRDALIK/nyt Soviet diplomats moved out of the hulking Warsaw housing compound more than 30 years ago. But some Russians stayed behind, sheltering until the early 2000s behind a fence topped with barbed wire from a city that, with the collapse of their empire, had suddenly become hostile territory -- and an important intelligence target. A mouldering, Russian pulp fiction paperback left behind inside the now derelict property, perhaps provides a clue to the preoccupations of the Russians who lived in the compound that was notorious since its heyday in the 1980s as a nest of spies: Game on a Foreign Field . "It was always called Spyville and yes, many of these guys were spies," the mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski, said. 'Spyville' was officially emptied of diplomats and their families when the Soviet empire crumbled in the late 1980s, but some Russians continued to … [Read more...] about Russian ‘Spyville’ returns to Polish hands

Traders at the New York Stock Exchange on March 9, 2020, as stocks plunged amid mounting worries over the coronavirus. Photographer: Timothy A. Clary/AFP/Getty Images Anyone checking their investment accounts at the moment will presumably recoil in shock—and then think about putting more money to work. After all, history reveals periods of intense Wall Street fear are ultimately good buying opportunities, a pattern that’s duly nurtured a generation of investors primed to “buy the dip” during major equity and credit market routs. One of the most memorable, short-lived dips in asset prices was the pandemic low of early 2020, and that’s a good starting point for investors trying to make sense of what ails markets today. The culprit stirring up market volatility and punishing asset prices isn’t hard to spot. A soothing tide of fiscal and monetary stimulus that started in 2020 is now retreating as central banks try to counteract the highest pace of inflation in four decades. … [Read more...] about The investing party may be over, but markets might make sense again

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin I'm the CEO and Co-Founder of Planable — the leading content review and collaboration platform for social media teams. In 2021, organizations worldwide were using, on average, 110 software as a service applications, according to Statista . Here’s another head-spinning number : The SaaS market is expected to grow from $130.69 billion in 2021 to $716.52 billion in 2028. That amounts to a lot of money spent by a lot of companies on a lot of tools. And it makes sense when you think about it: Tools allow modern businesses to automate what was manual just a few years ago. Look at social media management, for example. Who thought this market would grow so vast and professional that it would spawn its own set of third-party tools? But there is one caveat to all of this, which will constitute the subject of this article. With such a wide variety of software out there, how should a business, whether established or … [Read more...] about Master-Of-One Or Jack-Of-All-Trades? How To Pick Software
