We don't need another app to install.

When Grab PH bought motorcycle taxi app Move It, I thought I would become a 1st-time customer of that service. I use Grab, so it already has my info. I wouldn't need to sign up and type all my details. How convenient.

But Move It wasn't integrated into the Grab app. Instead, I would have to download a new app.

Bummer. One fewer customer for the company.

The U.S. displaces China as Germany's biggest trading partner. Germany had been urging German companies to decouple from China.

How can economics be a field of science? All sciences are based on the Earth’s (or universe's) natural laws.

How can unlimited economic growth on a finite planet be possible?

Why doesn't wealth accummulated (stolen) by a few rich individuals trickle down to the poor?

Economics is not based on reality, so why is it called a field of science?

Guys, hell is not suffering record-breaking temperatures. Hell is having governments and wealthy people pour billions into greenhouse gases through oil, coal and gas and funding energy-intensive cryptomining and AI. Worse is having people who deny there's a climate crisis.

High temperatures is only one symptom of a much bigger problem
