Can GDP be used as a surrogate for the ecological footprint? That was the hypothesis, and now it looks incontrovertible.

#LebanonNH, #GraftonCounty’s largest city, is renewing its Master Plan. In this week's Herald, @DaveRollo198799 explores the opportunity to KEEP the county great. And CASSE's @dworatzek_peri develops the 1st estimate of Grafton's #EcologicalFootprint. buff.ly/IUGzxy2

A reminder: the people in power don’t need conferences, treaties or agreements to start taking real climate action. They can start today.
When enough people come together then change will come and we can achieve almost anything. So instead of looking for hope - start creating it.
Have you heard about the battle of Archbald? Banding together, the public fought Wildcat Ridge, Project Gravity, Project Green Mountain and others and won. Dave Rollo tells the story

"Apologists for chemical-laden agricultural systems will argue that these systems are essential to feed a planet of 8.3 billion... But this narrative 'is just gaslighting us to support greater use of chemicals & industrial agriculture.'" buff.ly/POkmunE

If congressional Dems had heeded this advice after Richard Nixon got elected, there would be no EPA, no Clean Water Act, none of the original campaign finance laws, no War Powers Resolution, and no expansion of Medicare - all of which Dems enacted while Nixon was president.
Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

After the midterms backlash against ontocapitalism, we now need “demotechnics” i.e democratic regulation of AI, humanoid and killer robots, BCI neural implants and the new eugenics. And accountability for the Big Tech billionaire humachinators!

Economic growth is about believing that you can never have too much.
It's about greed, gluttony, self interest, lack of discipline & lack of vision
The Steady State Economy is about knowing when to stop, about restraint, communal & ecological interests, discipline & vision.

Is the Fed’s dual mandate mission impossible? If you cut rates for jobs, you fuel inflation. But when you raise them to cool prices, you risk a recession.
CASSE has a way out of this bind. It’s the Sustainable Monetary Policy Act. Brian Czech explains: buff.ly/qRVEmyj

Do you know how an ecological footprint is actually calculated? Peri Dworatzek walks us through how much is under- and overestimated.
You might be surprised.

What do these have in common? Rampant fossil-fuel development, climate change, resource depletion, air/water/soil pollution, biodiversity loss, diminished hunting & fishing, spreading data centers, AI, sprawl, traffic, crime, wealth inequality, disease buff.ly/fs5BLrL

#Voters erected a big beautiful STOP sign in front of @realDonaldTrump. Pollsters tell us the top issue was "the economy.” In this week's Herald, @BrianCzechCASSE fills in the gaps. 🗳️ 🌊 🛑 #inflation #2026Elections @TheDemocrats @AbdulElSayed @cmkshama buff.ly/yesqq5k
"We should be prepared for a scenario where climate change, freshwater shortages, & degraded soils render useless our best efforts at maintaining current levels of agricultural productivity. In that scenario, what would happen to the rest of the economy?"

On #Halloween, we lean into our fear of fantastical monsters. But what if we reclaimed #fear for the monsters that truly threaten our survival? @AlixUCASSE leads a tour of steady-state frights in this week's Steady State Herald. 👻🧛♀️🧟♂️ #SteadyStateEconomy buff.ly/Xtrnkk4

First there was "gradual disempowerment" buff.ly/Ov8iH4C
Then comes "humachination" as defined by Michael DB Harvey in his book, The Age of Humachines. Check out the book here buff.ly/OIj3ALb

The future was supposed to be like Star Trek. Unfortunately, Michael DB Harvey, author of The Age of Humachines, thinks Big Tech has us headed towards a corporate-driven dystopia instead.
He explains why on the Post-Growth Australia Podcast
