    I haven''t listened to all of this video, I find GG somewhat hard to take other than in small doses. He critiques Greta Thunberg and other activists for not discussing for instance, the sabotage of the Nordstreatm pipelines or challenging the power behind it. . I'm not sure why with the former she should have to and with the latter she's pretty vocal, I suspect GG has some antipathy to Greta and hasn't bothered to listen to here. -. She, and fellow activists are against growth which GG says is how poor people get better off. There's a real economic neoliberal capitalist lurking behind GG , as with Starmer Unless you haven't noticed GG, our growth comes at the cost of our planet, and much of our growth is depleting our future wealth- you know the wealth of Greta's peers

    Poor people could enjoy a much fairer share of the cake by mere tax manipulation, and by government ownership os the major monopolies of water, power, and transport. After all, government ownership of a resources is the same as a common ownership, and every poor person shares in that as well. Common ownership is just as real wealth as owning shares or other assets
