There's a long list of well-known #externalities that the profit-addicted entities impose on the world.
The narrative of "public vs private" is a false dichotomy.
Both are created through our collective power, manifested by our current choice of #nationstate organization who grants their status.
Using various True Cost Accounting methods, a new study finds that animal-based products consistently entail substantially higher external costs than plant-based alternatives. Meat & dairy products, in particular, generate considerable externalities: doi.org/10.1016/j.en... #TCA #Externalities >>

Lawsuits against social media companies to protect users from the negative externalities of consumption. Enough evidence is available suggesting these externalities are factual reality. Big tobacco lost. Now it’s social media’s turn. @nytimes.com #externalities #economics #betterlife
If using AI searches came with a price, and the price reflected the actual cost, a lot fewer people would use AI, and we wouldn’t need so many gotdamn data centers #externalities
No matter the validity of the reason for doing it, if your income is predicated on the benevolence of an in-Corporation of private gains (which you are not in on), you're going to get rolled up w/them when their demise inevitably comes.

Externalities no longer calculated at the EPA. Industry over people. But only certain people will suffer and they aren’t friends with Trump or “his people”. I wonder how many will suffer who also voted for this administration.

This is a good example of why it’s madness not to require business ventures to address #externalities PRIOR to starting operations.
Air, water, land, sound, & nature broadly belong to the people. No one has a right to wreck it for profit.

Accepting that, you do what you do. Make what you make. The only thing that you lack for anything that you desire is #faith. Faith will get you the #knowledge. Faith will get you the #ability. Faith will get it done. This is why #Jesus does not talk about #externalities. They don't resolve anything.
Firms respond to incentives. Profit making firms are in it for their shareholders, potentially leading to more problems for society. We can do better: can’t we? #profitmaximising #ibeconcasestudy #externalities #nytimes
Reducing #EU’s CO2 emissions has “proved costly for consumers and damaging for the economy”, @wsj.com writes.
All this shows is: we’d rather burn our planet down 🌎 🔥 than take action – e.g. taxing companies & consumers for destructive behavior.

Holy fuck - @aiannucci.bsky.social's #StrongMessageHere today is all about my favourite undiscussed environmental concept: #Externalities. I'm never going to get any work done today if #BBCRadio4 keeps this up ... or, of course, I turn off the radio.
The heart of our #economic #system, economic accounting, has a similar congenital defect that stifled the #Soviet #economy:
It does not use real prices and costs.
#Externalities are routinely ignored.
Over time, the difference between what is profitable on paper and in reality tends to increase.

I could quote data from IMF or IEA but there is a caveat in those trillions of dollars or percentages of GDP (up to 10%..) as not all #fossilFuelSubsidies are in explicit cash to subsidise consumer prices.

Capitalism is threatened by collective power and tries to deflect blame by foisting the problems it causes onto the individual. This classic ad promoting environmentalism is a perfect example...

Bookmark resting on a tiled taqueria countertop, leaning against a glass partition, reading, "Bodhisattvas don't eat meat when sun-based proteins abound." If Catholics can give up little boys, we can give up killing sentient beings when we don't have to. The cognitive dissonance arising from a lofty dharma--full of big words such as bodhicitta, great compassion, all sentient beings, don't kill, don't harm, and so forth--exceeding our will and lazy capacity is how the dharma plummets in a short time from realized to merely transmitted to farce. How much do you really care about other sentient beings? When limited by conditions such as geography, climate, scarcity, poverty, precarious survival, genuine dependence on alms or the dole, and so forth, the bodhisattva does what s/he has to do. However, in the context of our embarrassment of riches and near endless cheap protein options in the modern first world, a common atheist humanist vegan or vegetarian with no exposure to the teachings puts a flesh-guzzling Tibetan in the diaspora (and their Western acolytes all too eager to adopt an excuse to maintain a flesh addiction) to shame. #hypocrites #stepup #growup #lostinabstrusepramana #hidingbehindbigwords #tibetannihilists #destroyingthedharma #stoppretending #stopcallingyourselvesbodhisattvas #icallbullshit #goringabell
