This is what wealthy corporations and billionaire executives do. Transform beautiful places into industrial zones, ignoring the people who live there.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu is failing citizens, non-human life and future generations badly. She and her commission are just another tool for the poisonous private interests of big corporations. In my view this amounts to criminal neglect of the public interests.

I largely agree with the thrust of this essay, but I doubt whether (most) people are, by and large, noble. The polycrisis—with the AI ​​industry as a recent addition—is not a natural disaster, but man-made.
