"In 2025 again our system crashes as America's weird billionaire #MuskTrump co-presidency breaks everything worth breaking & within reach. Americans themselves are first to suffer for it but rest assured when the dust settles it'll have been a VERY lucrative time for the world's wealthiest. AGAIN."

"Care is a principle, not just a sub-sector of the economy, not something that we wave around to try and claim the moral high ground for, but a principle. And the basis of that principle is restorative."—@ProfTimJackson

"In the #Covid pandemic & ensuing global economic meltdown of 2020 we were #InThisTogether & gonna #BuildBackBetter for a hot minute but when all was said & done the rich got richer (WAY richer) while everybody else got poorer, AGAIN."
"The #GlobalEconomicCrash of 2008 was #NeoLiberal Economics from start to finish: remove government oversight & regulations for the banks who in turn profit wildly before inevitably crashing the system. Banks get bailouts, bosses get bonuses & everybody else gets screwed. Lessons learned = ZERO."
"Time to blow the whistle. 3 global economic meltdowns in under 20 years is too many and actually turning the heat UP on global emissions with all we know about #ClimateChange in 2025 is an historic abomination. Enough is enough. I want off. And so should you. It needs to happen NOW."
"We need to shift from voluntary to mandatory. We currently have nothing mandatory in the climate space. It's all voluntary, & doomed to be insufficient. We need to tell THE TRUTH: this is an existential threat to the survival of all of our species & we need to be forthright about that."

"In #AGoodWar #SethKlein argues problem one is we massively underspend on climate. We're not nearly reaching the level of importance & urgency that it is. Spend what it takes to win. Secondly we need to create new institutions like crown corporations that are empowered to do what it takes."
"#SethKlein is a very important progressive voice who argues in his book #AGoodWar that #Canada should take the strategies we've used before in wartime, so the World War Two war effort, to repurpose politics & the economy to address the climate emergency."
"No one is rising to the level of ambition we need to address our #ClimateEmergency. PM #Carney ultimately believes the market is a viable way to solve problems, trying to persuade companies to do the right thing, incentiving them to change their behaviour. That's not the level of ambition we need."

"#MarkCarney is prime minister. He wrote a book about values & building a better world for all. This is quite relevant because our economic system is the embodiment & codification of our values. Our current economic system values private money. There's tremendous opportunity for it to be different."
"When we see a policy designed to achieve some social or ecological goal it's instantly offset by all of the things working against it. We're always just banging our head against the wall. We need to look to the common denominator or the root cause of our problems and how they intersect."
"There's a window of opportunity here. We're in a pretty bad way & people are feeling that. We're living it. We need to do something differently & I think there's a visceral sense of that. People are suffering. People are struggling. People are having trouble seeing the future. We need real change."
"Our current economic system holds a narrow version of economic growth at the centre & the inevitable harms it causes to human & planetary wellbeing are the consequence. The #WellBeingEconomy explicitly & unapologetically flips that logic on its head. There's a beauty in the simplicity of the idea."

"The #WellbeingEconomy is an umbrella term for an alternative to #neoliberal capitalism. It's not just one thing.At its core, a wellbeing economy is an economy that explicitly places all people, all living things and our planet at the centre rather than the other way around."
"Our 'rich get richer' economic system concentrates wealth & power to a massive extent. We're NOT all in this together. One class of people can buy their way out of anything. You can barely imagine a more toxic thing to do to community solidarity & democracy but that's exactly what we've done."
" #TaxCuts for very rich people leads to less revenue then cuts to the public sector. This is presented as being 'inevitable' but it's a choice which leads to a decline in quality & accessibility of public services. Then governments swoop in to offer #privatization as a viable alternative."
"Deregulation of the industries is what allows #OilAndGas companies to do pretty much whatever they want, take the profits & leave a mess behind without any real consequences. Political parties often campaign on #TaxCuts but what they usually mean is tax cuts for very rich people."
