I guess we all have a story to tell, including the country that brought wild salmon population to the brink of extinction. "They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum." It never gets old.

On Tuesday, Norway “paused” the work of the ethics council of its sovereign wealth fund, so it can keep its cozy relationship w/ Israel & big tech. For those interested, Ecozon@ just published what I wrote on Norwegian identity and it’s entanglement with oil&extractivism.

Scott Bessent (and Summers before him) sees that the battle for the U.S. soul is in Latin America, between their liberal allies and even the most modesta ttempts for empathy and social reform. Banks and carriers, or welfare and joy. He got the song wrong, but the clash right.

En Chile, la candidata oficialista de centroizquierda va contra una de derecha, uno de ultraderecha, y otro de ultra-ultra derecha. Todos apoyan menos controles, menos impuestos, más subsidios. Hay más consenso sobre las salmoneras que sobre la democracia.

Capybaras roamed free until the 1980s. Developers built gated communities and expelled them. They came back. An Argentine billionaire, also developer, promotes their sterilization--with a drug designed for male pigs before they're slaughter, so they taste better.
