Der Internet-Konzern hat so viel Geld, dass es sich leisten kann, so viel in der KI zu Investieren - Zeit ist Geld aber egoistisch, wenn nicht ausbeutend. Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass deren Glaube an ihrem Erfolg, auch als Religion bezeichnet werden kann.
Aktuell laufen wieder Spamwellen durchs Land. Eine bot einen angeblichen Schweizer #Bitcoin-ETF an, mit zuverlässiger Firma und offizieller Zulassung dahinter. Das wäre doch das ideale Investment für klamme Kassen!
Doch schon nach wenigen Klicks war klar: Da stimmt ganz vieles nicht.
PH's biggest bank BDO thinks charter change is not necessary to attract foreign investments. The move is also unpopular among Filipinos with 74% saying the Constitution should not be amended. Others believe that the real motive of charter change is to lift the one-term limit of the president.
#TrumpMedia merger wins investor approval, netting #Trumppotential windfall
TFG will own ~60% of #TruthSocial, which at its current share price would be worth ~$3.3B.
A lockup agreement will prevent him from selling the shares for 6 months.
A long-delayed move that will open the owners of TruthSocial to stock-market investors & grant Trump a stake worth billions he could use to pay down his #legal#debts.

If you're think the key to economic success is productivity growth then the lagging expansion of productivity in the UK (and the EU) will be a concern.
Most notably while the global financial crisis hardly impacted US productivity growth, for the UK/EU, after 2008, slow(er) productivity growth has resulted in a growing productivity gap.
Is the US is benefitting from more investment, the status of the dollar as reserve currency or more state stimulus, or all three?
Nearly all new US power plants built in 2024 will be #CleanEnergy
"Now, in 2024, everyone from investor-owned utility companies to cooperatives, municipals and private developers across 50 states has decided carbon-free energy would be the most competitive option to meet their power needs. The industry’s aggregate investment decisions mean that 96% of all new large power plant capacity will be carbon-free."
"Looking back at the first full year since passage of the #InflationReductionAct, the U.S. Solar Market Insight, Year-in-Review 2023 shows that the legislation has skyrocketed the industry and will have a lasting economic impact in terms of #energy, #jobs and #investment opportunity."

So, my hunt for an ethical (= no #MilitaryIndustrialComplex, #Tobacco, #FossilFuel, #BigTech) #KiwiSaver operator has stalled. I thought #Sharsies might be an option, but their funds only allow you a token 5% discretionary investment & only among NZX stocks. You can't remove their second major share holding, the Microsoft Corporation, which makes them a hard no for 'ethical investment'.

> my hunt for an ethical KiwiSaver operator has stalled
This is a shocking situation. On the face of it, you'd think that between KiwiBank, Cooperative Bank and the credit unions, they'd be able to recommend one, or failing that, set one up.
But maybe this points to a deeper problem with the way #investment currently works? Maybe there's no ethical way to invest in publicly-traded shares, due to the same VC-funded-startup>extractive monster pipeline we critique in digital tech?
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
