#FollowTheMoney š§µ34/n #ClimateDiary We had a veg box for 12 years from Hankham Organics; 3 weeks ago we suddenly had a note with our box that they were closing, as it wasnāt working financially any more. š¢š¢š¢ And a fish merchant who we got smoked salmon for Christmas from closed this year too, for the same reasons. Plus Goldsmithsā woes of course (#AcademicVenting). So many good, small organisations struggling and ending. #FollowTheMoney š§µ 36/n Here a positive, progressive use of money flows: 1400+ Columbia University alumni from its 20 schools have pledged to withhold all āfinancial, programmatic, and academic supportā until school meets demands related to divestment, student discipline, and community safety. #FollowTheMoney š§µ37/n Even though all of us living in the UK know that homelessness is terrible (and has grown exponentially since 2010), it is still shocking to see this graph.

#FollowTheMoney š§µ 32/n Watched āThe Founderā on Netflix yesterday, about McDonalds. Really interesting- would recommend it. Particularly how the real breakthrough came when Kroc, advised by Sonneborn, went for real estate. Checked it on Wikipedia:
āMcDonald's present-day real-estate holdings represent $37.7 billion on its balance sheet, about 99% of the company's assets and 35% of its annual gross revenue.ā
