‘Why does a company with quarterly profit of $4.4-billion have to lay off anyone?’ 11,000 laid off by Facebook owner Meta including Canadians, plus other letters to the editor for Nov. 14

: By falling behind in publicly funded research – to the point that we are now 28th in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in graduate-level attainment – we do indeed risk the brain drain that has characterized too much of our recent history. We forgo the potential we have to attract international students, expertise and investment.

An innovative, environmentally sensitive and agile political economy requires nothing less than sustained public support for university research.Re Banks See Opportunity In Carbon-offsets Market As Net-zero Promises Pile Up : I get nervous whenever I see bank officials referring to a new commodity with market potential to “grow very, very quickly.” In this case, the “commodity” is carbon and carbon offsets.

They could be both an asset or a liability on the corporate balance sheet. Who’s on the hook if that 1,000 hectares of boreal-forest offsets goes up in smoke? This highlights the conundrum associated with offset permanence and additionality. It explains why Prudential Financial’s Peggy Foran referred recently to carbon markets and offsets as something of a “wild, wild west.” If Mark Carney’s musings about the offset market topping $100-billion by 2030 are in the realm of the possible, then we’re going to need more than just “faith” in the different verification standards out there. Trust and transparency will be key.

Because dead wood is dead wood in any language except yours!

Big layoffs are requested by vultures getting ready to buy the company.

It’s almost like people have no clue about reality at all

Because they suck, and it's all contrived bullshit.
