..there could be as much as $120 trillion up for grabs...It’s tied to the $5-trillion global transport. industry, the $9 trillion healthcare industry, the $850-billion airline industry.. the $26-billion food delivery segment"
"world's first #carbonoffset ride-sharing platform to an electric vehicle subscription service... #ESG investors are loving it.

The big lie: "#Alphabet [#GOOGLE] is one of the leaders in the Big Tech push to go green. Not only is Alphabet powering its #datacenters w/ renewable #energy, it is also on the cutting edge of innovation... investing in new tech. & green [] to build a more sustainable tomorrow."
The truth: the foundation of the #4IR (#5G/#ICT) will make #aviation etc., look like childish prattle.
Note that this is an actual press release. Another example of measures being taken by #BlackRock, #WEF, #Bridgewater, et al. in the ongoing corporate construction of a feel-good artificial zeitgeist. A "#buildbackbetter" lie to secure required social license of the citizenry.

Dec 8 2020: "In launching this new initiative, the #Hewlett Foundation is mindful of how an earlier generation of #funders helped create, nurture, and promote #neoliberalism."
