@onepict @NGIZero worth noting the funding is supposed to mostly come from private investors too… which is not necessarily helping :blobcatderpy:

from what I’ve seen in Spanish leftists (including internal documents from parties) and from what I can infer from policies everywhere, the only concern is scaling and nothing else matters, which is exactly the fundamental problem with today’s economy ‒ I get the reason (scaling up is the only way anything resembling trickle down economics might work, using growth to let everyone get wealthier while not annoying those powerful enough to go after politicians that might even slightly threaten their interests and lifestyles, which would thus be counterproductive), but somehow everyone likes to pretend that we haven’t gone past a point of no return in regards to resource usage, the climate and unaccountable inequality, and are too comfortable within the status quo, thus being #ambitious within limits…

would be nice if at least they could let others give different ideas a try, but everything is too bureaucratic and restrictive for everyone but the richest… who then go for projects like Neom or seasteading :blobcatgooglyheadache:
