Though I think you've missed just how serious the harm would be to the poor if the financial system collapsed.

If only you and the other simplistic people like you would think about how serious the harm would be to all when the ecological system collapses, which is a significantly more serious consideration.

If you think its hysteria, stand behind a vehicle running its engine and see how long you can stand it.

If it's a modern vehicle and the catalyst is hot, the answer will be "until you get bored". Modern emissions are so low it's difficult to even kill yourself with exhaust in a locked garage anymore. This doesn't address the CO2 or the soot though. (And the soot may give you cancer eventually...)

The process of bootstrapping never eliminates lower level system.

The goal isn't to eliminate it.

Kernel does not delete BIOS and if it happen to corrupt it, it is serious issue that requires urgent fixing.

Classic BIOS didn't do things after boot once the OS loaded. It just sat there in case anyone wanted to use it.

to manage fossil-fuel phaseout while protecting workers and financial systems.

You can't protect workers if you persist in thinking of them as "workers", where the idea is they deserve protection because they're working. There's going to be market disruption, and jobs will be destroyed. Even if/when new jobs are created there will be further delay for training if you hope to have those same workers do those new jobs. If not, things are even worse.

There's obviously going to be intense disruption to financial systems as well, because there's a lot of money in fossil fuels. Whole banks might go under. How do you let them (because fuck them for helping to create the problem, they don't deserve help and neither do their shareholders who profited from it) without people losing their homes and businesses?

But that's not what they're going to even wind up trying to do. It's going to be how do we preserve financial systems, the poor can go fuck themselves, we're buying more yachts. We know because this problem was obviously coming for decades and so far it's been a lot of big talk and very little positive action.

Only people who didn't choose to do business with Cheeto Benito and his crime family should be allowed to sue him at this point, because anyone who is paying even the slightest amount of attention knows he's a thief and a fraud. This fucker is just mad that he's not getting as much out of the fraud as he thought he would. Fuck him.

And how does chopping staff from his foundation help with rehabilitation of his image?

He could claim they were the reason he associated with Epstein, and very stupid people might believe it. It takes very stupid people to believe in Gates' philanthropy, but lots of people do, so there is evidence that this is a working strategy.
