Oh, I’m 100% with you that governments should be regulating the hell out of this in general. We’re at a place in evolution where we have the capability to exploit the entire planet’s resources and yet have no central planning or regulation authority ensuring we don’t screw ourselves in the process.

But until governments and their people acknowledge their role in dealing with the long term issues, we’re stuck with the infinite-growth perspective of Capital. Considering that’s where the accelerator is pushed down, we need to firmly rebuke and shame their yearly iteration nonsense and promote more sustainable outcomes.
