again the UK is a #Kleptocracy

people are starving & freezing to death, & the assets of the UK's people are being stripped for profit that goes to shareholders & fat cat bosses

remember, I deliver medicines to the elderly, sick, disabled & housebound - they're ALL struggling
the UK's fascist tory govt is CHOOSING to facilitate the extraction of profit to the top 10% rather than show *ANY CONSIDERATION WHATSOEVER* to the working population

THREAD 3 -GLOBAL POWER CENTRES

The transnational corporations (THREAD 1 ) & investors (THREAD 2 ) that are now pushing a #plantbased food system are forces that operate symbiotically within the bulwark of neoliberal capitalism.
The latter is constituted of such (overlapping) power centers as @TrilateralNA, @GroupofThirty, @CFR_org & @wef. These think tanks represent the strategic-planning & consensus-forming centers of the #plutocracy (aka, the 'transnational capitalist class').

We as an industry need to make explicit a key point about the #governance space:

*In our 500,000 years of being humans we have learned less about coordination systems than we will learn in the next 5-10 years.*

@lrettig @MolochDAO @cburniske @AragonProject @daostack @nc0we 👇
First and foremost, if you are designing *governance systems* and you’re not up to speed on our 200+ years of quantitative research in this area, consider researching this body of work.

Here is a resource to get you started, first tweeted in 2017:

Secondly, by and large, we collectively have at most a few years of experience with on-chain voting systems.

Voting is just one way to coordinate.

Everything is an experiment.

Governance of networks, upgrades, DAOs, nonprofits, public co’s does not & should not look the same.
