• [[UK fuel crisis 2021]]

  • This is not affecting me as I don’t drive. But I wonder what the knock-on effects will be. And the main reason being a driver shortage so it’s part of an overall supply chain crisis. The stories about queues and some people’s behaviour on the petrol station forecourts is all a bit foreboding towards your standard dystopian sci-fi resource crisis.

• [[Bullshit jobs]]. Apparently "Influencer Marketing Manager" is a job. Not saying that my job isn’t a bullshit job in the grand scheme of things, but this is approaching peak bullshit.

• [[UK supply chain crisis 2021]]

• [[Labour’s green policies]]

  • [[green investment fund]]
  • mass retrofitting programme
  • pledge to decaronise steel
  • "net zero and nature test" for every policy

• [[Winter of discontent]]
