Thames Water, which serves 16 million customers in and around London, is seeking court approval for up to 3 billion pounds ($3.7 billion) of emergency funding to prevent the cash-strapped company from falling into government administration. The High Court in London began a four-day hearing on the financing package, with Thames Water facing off against smaller creditors who complain that the deal is too expensive and favors bigger investors. Creditors holding about 90% of the company's debt have already backed the deal. Without the funding, Thames Water will run out of money in March, which could force the government to temporarily nationalize the company. Both the government and Thames Water say water will continue flowing to customers regardless of what happens. Thames Water, which has about 17 billion pounds ($20.9 billion) of debt and has been repeatedly cited for illegal sewage spills, is at the center of a nationwide backlash over rising water bills as Britain seeks to modernize its water and sewage systems to cope with climate change and a growing population. The company has been the focus of criticism from consumers and politicians who say Thames Water created its own problems by paying overly generous dividends to investors and high salaries to executives while failing to invest in pipelines, pumps and reservoirs. Company executives say the fault lies with regulators, who kept bills too low for too long, starving the company of the cash it needed to fund improvements. Ofwat, which regulates water companies in England and Wales, in December approved a 35% increase in Thames Water's consumer charges over the next five years. The company argued that bills needed to rise by 53% in order to finance needed projects and provide the financial returns necessary to attract investors. The company had until Feb. 18 to appeal the decision. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Today, we are breaking down Rolls-Royce. A fair warning to those expecting to hear about luxury automobiles, that division was split from this business in the 1970s. But as we discuss the history of Rolls-Royce on this episode, you will hear how the DNA of this company still ties together from its early 1900s origins. Our guest is Graeme Forster from Orbis Investments. Graeme walks us through the core business of Rolls-Royce in the aerospace market, the evolving duopoly of the wide-body aircraft engine manufacturers, and the ups and downs of properly capturing the economic opportunity. I really appreciated Graeme's intellectual honesty in discussing Rolls, and I expect you will, too.

It's important to note that real-world transitions to socialism are often complex and involve a variety of factors. 1. Centralized Economic Planning: Government Control: The government takes control of major industries and resources, determining production, distribution, and pricing. Reduced Private Enterprise: Private ownership of businesses is restricted or eliminated, leading to a decline in market competition. **We see this with big Pharma, the global warming movement, the FDA and free speech on social media  platforms…    2. Nationalization of Key Industries: Government Ownership: The government acquires ownership of essential industries like transportation, energy, healthcare, and education. Public Services: These industries are then operated as public services, often providing goods and services at subsidized rates or for free. 3. Welfare Programs Expansion: Social Safety Net: The government expands social welfare programs to provide financial assistance, healthcare, housing, and other benefits to citizens. Reduced Inequality: This aims to reduce economic inequality and create a more equitable society. 4. Labor Union Empowerment: Collective Bargaining: Labor unions are encouraged or mandated to negotiate with employers on behalf of workers. Worker Rights: This promotes worker rights, such as fair wages, safe working conditions, and job security. 5. Political Reorganization: Democratic Centralism: The government may adopt a system of democratic centralism, where decisions are made collectively by party leaders and then implemented throughout the organization. **this has been this whole past presidency… President Biden has not been in charge… it has been a behind the scenes collective power brokerage of decision making ‘minds that be”… who are those minds? I have my guesses, but I will bite my tongue for now.    One-Party Rule: In some cases, a single political party may come to dominate the government, leading to a reduction in political pluralism. It's important to note that these are general steps and the specific path to socialism can vary significantly depending on the country's unique circumstances and historical context. Additionally, the effectiveness and desirability of these steps are subjects of ongoing debate and discussion.   But all this is sped up and empowered by what we call Crisis fatigue. A government creates crisis after crisis and creates a social DNA in their people that is overwhelmed with division and distraction until finally the majority just give up and say… “I just wish the government would take care of me and everybody would just be equal”…..    Can someone just take care of me, im overwhelmed.  The key to this is don't see it as a crisis. Covid… I never saw it as a crisis. Grocery shortage, no TP, Retirement fund going under, investments crashing, climate change, Political unrest, Vaccine mandate, influx of illegal aliens… Younger generation going nuts, LGBTQ, Trans agenda, BLM, racism… none of it is a crisis. 

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Soft Nationalization: How the US Government Will Control AI Labs, published by Deric Cheng on August 27, 2024 on LessWrong. We have yet to see anyone describe a critical element of effective AI safety planning: a realistic model of the upcoming role the US government will play in controlling frontier AI. The rapid development of AI will lead to increasing national security concerns, which will in turn pressure the US to progressively take action to control frontier AI development. This process has already begun,[1] and it will only escalate as frontier capabilities advance. However, we argue that existing descriptions of nationalization[2] along the lines of a new Manhattan Project[3] are unrealistic and reductive. The state of the frontier AI industry - with more than $1 trillion[4] in private funding, tens of thousands of participants, and pervasive economic impacts - is unlike nuclear research or any previously nationalized industry. The traditional interpretation of nationalization, which entails bringing private assets under the ownership of a state government,[5] is not the only option available. Government consolidation of frontier AI development is legally, politically, and practically unlikely. We expect that AI nationalization won't look like a consolidated government-led "Project", but rather like an evolving application of US government control over frontier AI labs. The US government can select from many different policy levers to gain influence over these labs, and will progressively pull these levers as geopolitical circumstances, particularly around national security, seem to demand it. Government control of AI labs will likely escalate as concerns over national security grow. The boundary between "regulation" and "nationalization" will become hazy. In particular, we believe the US government can and will satisfy its national security concerns in nearly all scenarios by combining sets of these policy levers, and would only turn to total nationalization as a last resort. We're calling the process of progressively increasing government control over frontier AI labs via iterative policy levers soft nationalization. It's important to clarify that we are not advocating for a national security approach to AI governance, nor yet supporting any individual policy actions. Instead, we are describing a model of US behavior that we believe is likely to be accurate to improve the effectiveness of AI safety agendas. Part 1: What is Soft Nationalization? Our Model of US Control Over AI Labs We'd like to define a couple terms used in this article: Total nationalization: The traditional meaning of "nationalization", where a government transforms private industry or organizations into a public asset, taking over full ownership and control. Soft nationalization: In contrast to total nationalization, soft nationalization encompasses a wide-ranging set of policy levers governments can use to increase control over the direction, impact, and applications of a private industry or organization. These levers may allow governments to achieve their high-level goals without taking full ownership of said entity. We argue that soft nationalization is a useful model to characterize the upcoming involvement of the US government in frontier AI labs, based on our following observations: 1. Private US AI labs are currently the leading organizations pushing the frontier of AI development, and will be among the first to develop AI with transformative capabilities. 2. Advanced AI will have significant impacts on national security and the balance of global power. 3. A key priority for the US government is to ensure global military and technological superiority - in particular, relative to geopolitical rivals such as China. 4. Hence, the US government will begin to exert greater control and ...

All the links you need https://linktr.ee/themikeypodcast In this explosive episode of the award-winning Mikey Podcast, we dive headfirst into Kamala Harris's latest attempt to "fix" food inflation with government-mandated price controls. Spoiler alert: it's a disaster waiting to happen. Mikey breaks down how these socialist policies could lead to the collapse of grocery stores, the downfall of food producers, and the eventual starvation of America. It's a wild ride through the twisted logic of government intervention—so grab your popcorn and tune in! Impact on Grocery Stores: Price controls could force grocery stores out of business by making it impossible to cover rising costs. Impact on Food Producers: Similar controls on producers would lead to reduced production and fewer options on store shelves. Worsening Food Deserts: Low-income and rural areas would be hardest hit, losing access to nearby grocery stores. Nationalization of the Food Industry: The inevitable collapse could lead to government takeover and complete chaos. Government intervention in the food supply is a recipe for disaster. Stay informed, question everything, and keep socialism out of America. Subscribe to the Mikey Podcast, join the SubClub on Spotify or mikeypodcast.com, and grab some merch from the PodShop.

In this Teamcraft episode, Mark and Andrew talk about their fascination with the origins and evolution of the word "team", and how it came to indicate near-magical properties of cooperation when compared to other words like ‘group', or perhaps, ‘committee'...The journey starts with the discovery that there are some misattributions of the word team gaining its special meaning, but that it may well have been emergent in groundbreaking research by the Tavistock Institute in the 1950s and 1960s. The episode uncovers the research carried out by Eric Trist, Ken Bamforth and a number of other Tavistock researchers' into the newly nationalised British coal industry's. The forced adoption of a new style of industrialised ‘longwall mining' had profound long-term, social and psychological impact on miners and mining communities. Mark and Andrew discuss how the Tavistock Institute discovered highly effective ‘composite' teams working in a Yorkshire coal mine, and laid the foundations for the school of “socio-technical design”—a concept that integrates the technical and social aspects of workplace systems. Chapters:00:00:00 - Intro00:00:24 - Historical insights on teamwork00:02:18 - The Tavistock Institute and their research00:04:34 - History of coal mining in Britain00:07:17 - Industrial rivalry and mining dangers00:09:37 - Nationalization and modernization of mines00:11:20 - Explanation of British mining processes00:17:26 - Introduction of Longwall Mining System00:24:17 - Impact of Industrialized Mining on Workers00:26:16 - Hierarchical Changes and Worker Morale00:31:15 - Tavistock's Intervention in Mining Practices00:36:26 - Discovery of Composite Teams00:40:26 - Principles of Socio-technical Design00:36:00 - Trist's principles for a new paradigm of workThanks for listening!Music by Tom Farrington

In this episode of Life Matters, Brian Johnston examines the pressure in 2024 to legalize assisted suicide nationwide in the United States. Many nations have now adopted assisted suicide throughout their borders, including Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, France, in many others. The American euthanasia movement had attempted to do this through the courts, but in 1994 the Glucksberg decision by the United States Supreme Court announced there was no national “legal right” to be killed by medicine. In spring of 2024, there are 10 states that have legalized medical killing, plus the District of Columbia. There are another fourteen states that have now introduced measures for this year's legislative session. But this belies the long-term methods, the actual approach that euthanasia advocates are taking. Initially, they propose safeguards and limits on a measure to help it get through the legislative process and legalized.  But then they “adjust” the parameters of the law. One of the most common limits is to initially say it is only for residents of their state.  This is in order to prevent what is happening in Switzerland, where tourist suicide allows people to fly in and simply be killed in any of dozens of death centers established in Switzerland. Many states that had put safeguards, like the need for multiple doctors to agree, or the need to be a state resident, or the need to be personally present with the physician (many drugs are now being prescribed via Zoom); all of those “safeguards” are now being removed. And there is concerted effort in the media, and by agent provocateur, to encourage those who are medically and emotionally vulnerable to receive their poison pills across state line via Zoom, or to travel to states where their lies will be brought to a swift and immediate end .  What all of this means is that we, as individuals. must be extremely attentive to our elderly and dependent relatives. We must ensure that, if they are in any long-term care facilities, proper emotional and medical attention is paid to them. This can only be done by personal involvement. It can't be done from afar Just as in older cultures, it is the family, and our immediate involvement with family, that is the greatest safeguard in a confused and dying civilization willing to kill the isolated vulnerable.

Since the early aftermath of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many major Western companies have been in various stages of divesting from Russia. Nearly a year and a half into the war, we've entered a new phase of business relations, as the Kremlin has started nationalizing foreign companies' Russian assets. The latest watershed moment occurred on April 25, when Putin issued an executive order allowing the Russian authorities to place the Russian assets of companies from “unfriendly nations” under the state's “temporary administration.” As a result, Russia seized the assets of Uniper Russia, including Uniper's 84% stake in the power generation company Unipro, which was valued at $5.5 billion before the invasion. More recently, earlier this week, President Putin placed the Russian subsidiaries of French yogurt maker Danone and Danish brewer Carlsberg under the Russian state's “temporary management,” effectively seizing these businesses. The Federal Property Management Agency has already entrusted Danone Russia's CEO position to Ramzan Kadyrov's nephew. For some guidance through this tumultuous period of international sanctions and elite business politics in Russia, Meduza spoke to Alexandra Prokopenko, a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, who worked at Russia's Central Bank and at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow from 2017 until early 2022.

Ben Katz is the Chief Architect at ISPolitical and a pioneer in using the internet and technology to solve challenges for political and advocacy campaigns. Working with hundreds of campaigns in 2022, Ben has seen some significant changes in this cycle and makes the point that all politics is not local anymore. With an emphasis on the accounting side, Ben points out the increasing difficulty of reporting contributions to federal and state authorities and the value of technology to scale operations to keep costs down so that donations are not eaten up by overhead. We talk about: The increasing number of down-ballot races reaching out to raise money from a national audience, not just local voters Fundraising slates Celebrity status driving donations doesn't determine a winning campaign The reporting requirements for campaign contributions Value and costs of pursuing small-dollar donors 2024 races began the first week in November, even before the midterm election New challenges for future campaigns to cut through the noise #ISPolitical #Fundraising #SmallDollarDonors #Midterms #2024Campaigns ISPolitical.com

In this episode of his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D discusses the Rail Workers Union recent call for nationalization of all rail lines in the US, Mexico, and Canada.Jumping in to the video, Double D reads excerpts from an article published by "People's World" which outlines some of the recent labor struggle between RWU and the big rail bosses, as well as highlighting their recent call for nationalization of all rail lines in the United States.Double D shows how the Steering Committee of the RWU sees nationalization as a fight not just for economic justice but for democracy. Double D contrasts this perspective with the on going political theater of Democrats claiming that "American democracy is under siege" by right wing political forces. He agreeing with that reality, Double D points out that both the political class and the media class leave any and all notion of economic democracy out of this discussion. He asserts that capitalism and democracy are not only not synonymous, they are in fact contrary to one another, and that so long as social, economic, and political life is dominated by corporations, American democracy will remain on life support.Double D examines the authoritarian structure of capitalism, outlining the concept of the "dictatorship of capital" and analyzes how the corporation is in its essence an authoritarian structure. Relating this to the rail road, he shows how big rail bosses have ousted 29% of the rail road work force over the last eight years, and have continued to boast record profits straight through the Great Recession and even the pandemic.Ruminating on this reality, Double D considers the madness of having the profit motive as the driving ideological force within your society. He points out how rail lines have begun looking at profit margin as the primary definition of the success of the rail road. He asks what is the purpose of a railroad? To make money? Or to transport human beings and freight? He goes on to examine how the profit motive has warped every aspect of American society, citing food production, entertainment and the arts, and even national security and foreign policy.Analyzing some history of the rail lines, Double D explains how nationalization is nothing new in US history. He outlines how the government took several bankrupt or defunct rail lines, and merged them into one federally owned company known as "Conrail" back in 1976. He shows however, that while the government was able to return the rail lines to profitability, the federal assets were sold off to two rail giants, who then split up the network, and discontinued many of the smaller branches. He goes on to examine the 1918 Railroad Control Act, through which the US government seized control of all rail lines to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of military equipment and personnel during the First World War. He then shows how a majority of rail workers voted to maintain nationalization as the rail roads began to move back into private hands. Double D asks how we could possibly living in a democracy, when a majority of workers who do all of the work vote a certain way, yet the ownership class still remains in control of one of the most essential parts of our national infrastructure.youtube.com/entitledmillennialspaypal.me/entitledmillennialspatreon.com/entitledmillennials

File this one under the theme: what is Capitalism and what is wrong with it? Jonathan provides a lengthy history-infused explanation of nationalization (when a government takes over an industry or a particular firm within an industry).  The historical journey features  Mexico's nationalization of its petroleum industry and the US Department of State's webpage. Jonathan mentions the Takings Clause in the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution and the Supreme Court case Kelo v. New London. Eminent Domain is covered in Article 27 of the Constitution of Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. A very highly recommended book on public enterprise (including nationalization and privatization) is Our Common Wealth: The Return of Public Ownership in the United States by Thomas M. Hanna. Jonathan reads a passage about Amtrak on page 32 of Hanna's book. Also, the information about electricity municipalization in Boulder, Colorado, described at the start of the episode, was drawn from Hanna's book.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it? Questions or comments?

Back in 2008, the US government's takeover of troubled mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two agencies established to reduce risk in the housing market, was hailed by many as a crucial step in helping to solve the pain of the subprime housing crisis roiling America. Fueled by the global financial crisis, the nation had a glut of vacant homes for sales, soaring foreclosures and rising unemployment. In these dire circumstances, the government's control of Fannie and Freddie moved forward, placing them in government conservatorship, and giving Washington 100 percent of their profits. It was a radical move. The government, in effect, had now become the nation's mortgage lender in a marketplace now estimated at $12 trillion. Today, with the US Federal Reserve scrambling, at least in theory, to take control of a massive balance sheet and tighten monetary policy, the "nationalization" of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, still in place, raises disturbing questions for the viability of the US housing market, according to DICK BOVE, chief financial strategist at Odeon Capital Group. "This is the most outrageous and unbelievable situation I have ever seen in my 55 years in looking at companies," BOVE says in this episode, castigating the government for undermining free market values and damaging the future prospects for home ownership. BOVE contends that "dirty games" were played at the highest levels to help preserve Fannie and Freddie under government control. BOVE is joined on this episode by MAT VAN ALYSTYNE, co-founder, Odeon Capital Group, and journalist JOHN AIDAN BYRNE. The trio will also examine broader issues in the housing market, in particular, whether it can continue to move forward with the same level of strong blockbuster sales and rising prices.• VAN ALYSTYNE AND BYRNE see a continuation in the overall housing activity citing data and anecdotal evidence. Bove disagrees. "The rapid rise in money costs," Bove writes in a research note, "combined with the exit of the Federal Reserve from the markets will make housing purchases un-affordable so that demand cannot be actualized."
