European Union: ESG—Climate Change And Related Litigation Take Center Stage In Europe
by Gunnar Larson 08 Dec '22

08 Dec '22

https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/climate-change/1257624/esgclimate-chang… Nearly every board of a publicly traded company in the European Union, United Kingdom, or United States will have considered and, for most, reported on ESG matters. And it is not just public companies. In what has been little more than a few years, ESG has become one of the dominant themes for both traded companies and their investors, and increasingly for many medium and large privately owned businesses. What began as a focus on climate and the environment now includes diversity, equity and inclusion, and local and global supply chains and human rights. No sector is untouched. Litigation is a growing part of the landscape. It has flourished in response to the actions taken and commitments made by governments and businesses. In this *White Paper* on ESG-related litigation, we explore the status and trends across Europe, with a focus on climate- and environmental-related litigation. Read the *White Paper* <https://www.jonesday.com/-/media/files/publications/2022/12/esg-climate-cha…> .

US CBDC a Paper Tiger
by professor rat 08 Dec '22

08 Dec '22

Vested interests in the US are slowing and may stop the present push for a USG shitcoin https://cointelegraph.com/news/report-outlines-reasons-why-stakeholders-are… Hamfisted attempts to brute-force govt spycoins in shitholes like Nigeria, Pakistan and Indonesia will create more cryptoanarchism than totalitarianism since there is no earthly power - or combination of them - remotely capable of rolling out any overt globalized surveillance state - world-wide totalitarianism. The last time this was even remotely possible was just after 9-11 when the US went in for massive covert surveillance. The scare campaign about CBDC's is now moving from ' War on Cash! " status to " War on Xmas " grade garbage. Probably why Gramps floating scow is topping up on it.

Backstabber giving mouth-to-arse resuscitation to Mongo's old ' Fork-in-the-Road ' thesis

This is false a Manichean binary as you will find outside organized religion and Marxist-Communism. >>> adam3us Humanity is at a tipping point. One path leads to dystopia, digital dark-ages, neo-feudalism of well-meaning, but economically and socially confused plutocrats. #bitcoin is the main ray of light, a way to opt out of this central pllanner, global surveillance state hell-scape. <<< The last remote chance the USG had for the OVERT Dossier Society was in the early noughties - they chose a covert version instead that failed by 2006. They were the only ones who could have done this but they lost their nerve and ever since then they have gotten weaker and cryptoanarchy has gotten stronger. Btw does Adam Back even know what cryptoanarchy is? Guys been around for near 30 years and still doesn't have the first clue. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/bitcoin-is-a-humanistic-alternative There is no Govcorp capable of creating a deliberate dystopia. Welcome to the globalized anarchist revolution.

[ot][spam][crazy][rude] ramblings and bemoanings
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 08 Dec '22

1. Once upon a time .... 2. It's interesting to compulsively blither onto this mailing list where I don't really know anybody and have amnesia around most of the parts of the real content I actually knew. I would guess that one of the reasons my subconscious would have picked this list to spam was both that the people using it were probably pretty resilient to spam, but also that I don't really know many people here, and don't have a strong emotional attachment to the culture. That second point, it feels bad, and that bad feeling reflects on me: there are few things here that really strike my heart. I likely would have subconsciously worked very hard to keep myself away from communities I really strongly valued, perceiving myself as harming them. A counterargument could be that other communities could be targeted just as badly as this one, and maybe my additional targeting would be minimal. It's an interesting thought. Still, I like the tiny bit of safety of having [spam] tags and not having strong connection to the community. It's an interesting idea, that maybe I could find more communities by feeling like I am disrupting them, rather than trying to engage them. Of course things end up being a hybrid of both.

[ot][spam][crazy] posting about cryptography without knowledge
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 08 Dec '22

everything I know about cryptography is probably obsolete nowadays it seems like stuff has kept on developing though: for example, somebody had mentioned upgrades to TLS where there was a system for tracking signing certificates. it's nice to have improvements as things like GPG shift. one of the things i've certainly observed is that cryptography has a political component that you don't always learn about directly

Berlin: Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss is one of the last descendents of a dynasty that once ruled over swathes of eastern Germany. He is suspected of hoping to become the country’s new leader in a violent coup to overthrow the democratic order. The 71-year-old was one of 25 members and supporters of a far-right group planning the alleged putsch who were arrested early on Wednesday in nationwide raids . . .
