Before reading your Substack I’m guessing because hate and malevolence putrifies the soul, then rots the physical form that it inhabits from the inside out.

I’m surprised he has lasted this long tbh

She's not listening. Online Brexorcisms are especially difficult.

I already have the material for others to use. See

Two Tier Nigel brexitrage.com/two-tier-hea...

Two Tier Health - Reboot Britain : Rejoin EU

Nigel F wants to get rid of the NHS and install "Two Tier Health". He's entitled to have that view in a democracy, but lets just think a while on what private healthcare means for most of us.

Hello Zack,

Further to your recent “everything is shit” video, this is a good take on de-enshittification 👇

‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything

The term describes the slow decay of online platforms such as Facebook. But what if we’ve entered the ‘enshittocene’?

the nutshell of the century 👇

“The internet isn’t more important than the climate emergency, gender justice, racial justice, genocide or inequality. But the internet is the terrain we’ll fight those fights on. Without a free, fair and open internet, the fight is lost before it’s joined.”

Next oil shock likely early 30s if not before (slowing shale, low EROI, demand>supply)

No sharp correction of S&P6 bubble before ‘28 (with the introduction of dominant player OpenAI’s “erotica”function?)

But after that: inflation, high interest rates, unemployment, higher public borrowing, weak £

The first ever crypto donation to a UK political party has been made - reportedly to Reform UK. But who’s behind it?

Experts are warning crypto donations could open the door to dark money, foreign interference and even organised crime.

Should crypto donations be banned before it’s too late?

Delayed action (transitioning away from oil) increases the risk of abrupt, unmanaged decline

Peak oil is inevitable
(Michaux says we‘ve probably already passed it)

Peak oil poses systemic risks to the functioning of industrial societies

Competition for remaining oil reserves increases tensions and conflict between states

I’ve been reading Simon Michaux (at Geological Survey of Finland) again … specifically the 2019 report, Oil from a Critical Raw Material Perspective.

He references the German military “Peak Oil” study (which was leaked). Here are the conclusions of that report:

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.
