When comparing a global index fund with a sustainable fund the analysis found a greenhouse gas ‘saving’ of 0,64 kg per british pound (0,533kg per Euro).
This sounds too good to be true? I just calculated I could save 40000 kg of greenhouse gases by switching to a sustainable fund. Is anyone able to verify this information?
If it is not clear, people here (in Brazil) say that these countries of Scandinavia are able to be good welfare state countries now because they were good free-market countries before, and our underdeveloped country couldn't turn into a developed country with these welfare and intervention policies, but should first become a developed country through a free-market economy and only then become a welfare state
I wonder if there is any truth in this reasoning
For example, an economic growth rate of 2% means that utility roughly doubles every 23 years. It is hard to imagine anything else that increases utility so rapidly. Does economic growth become a moral black hole for utilitarians?
Hi there, i was just wondering if you think that the current welfare states in places like nordic countries, germany, Netherlands, etc, are sustainable meaning that in 20 years that they will still be as generous as they are now? Was just wondering because there a couple of people on the right that say that they are bad because they are unsustainable and cost too much money? Thanks
I've seen a lot of repeat questions here that are similar to "what state(s) should I look in/are best for homesteading?" A lot of the discussion invariably involves climate and climate change, but rarely touches on land use rights, educational rights (e.g. homeschooling), regulation/licensing, personal liberty; all things that could be major factors for homesteaders.
Example: We can often make the mistake of assuming that many of the laws that we don't deal with on a daily basis (land use, zoning, and riparian rights for example) are similar in most states, but as a part of this sub for a while I have found that to be a serious misjudgement. It is extremely rare that I am legally required to tell the government about anything I do on my property, and I find myself astonished at some of the stories here about permits and red tape to do relatively mundane things. The section of river I own cannot legally be accessed by anyone (by boat or foot) without my permission (seems to be rare among other states). Now I understand the disconnect: my home state (GA) ranks #2 on land use freedom.
I thought some might find this a useful tool to those that have the flexibility to "vote with their feet" and move anywhere in the US. The top bar scrolls and you can sort the states by each measure (or overall), for example, "Education" if homeschooling or school choice is an important factor, "Occupational" if you have a skill you want to use as an entrepreneur, "Guns" if gun rights are important to you, "Cannabis" if you smoke, "Land" for the aforementioned land use, etc.

9 of the top 10 nations have universal healthcare. Switzerland has no at will employment. Singapore has the majority of its population living in government owned housing. All of these nations have mandated paid parental leave and mandated paid vacation.
As we all know, these policies will destroy America if they are implemented here. Why is the heritage foundation carrying water for these policies? Are they closet leftists? What can explain their behaviour?

I'm going to start investing in more sustainable, ethical shares and a practical route seems to be via Vanguard's ESG funds.
Right now I'm tempted most by ESG Developed World All Cap Equity Index Fund (UK) - Accumulation.
Though none of the ESG index funds seem to have much of a UK holding (the above is only 3.4%). I recognize north America is generally more favourable in forms of returns but I like to be somewhat conservative by having a bit more of a UK weighting to hedge against currency risk (why I own Lifestrategy 100).
I still have to do some more shopping research out with vanguard for a alternative ethical, sustainable index funds so would be interested to hear if anyone has identified some that trumps Vanguard's.
My mind is having difficulty wrapping my head around it.
If the Swiss government said "hey you can borrow USD at greater than 20% interest rate penalty to you but don't worry I'll give you a bunch of Swiss Franks to soften the blow. I need you to pay so much interest so I can attract more savers. Also abracadabra money can make like 100% off me if they want" then I would be confused
But is that not what TFL is doing? "hey borrow some UST at a really high rate but don't worry I'll give you some ANC to soften the blow"
I know its different because TFL benefits from ANC being owned by more people I imagine
but I still don't get how this works, like how is TFL recouping this cost?
That being said, it seems to be working, coin bureau likes the project, South Korea seems to like the project, but like how big does Terra have to get to be able to sustain itself and where is it getting the money to sustain this?
Just trying to get my head around it so I'll be less stressed out about my crypto on anchor. I believe in it based on how many people are getting UST but I also have to think that there must be a catch at some point, I can't just keep getting 20% at no cost to myself forever no? Will transaction fees increase some day?
But how would you explain it to someone who knows nothing about technology or code?
