Andreas Gerhard Hyperius, Flemish Protestant, has plan for poverty. The magistrate is mentioned 42 times in the doc. After a concerted Christian effort, the rich and poor will salute each other, in a knot of perfect friendship.

Today, are we actually trying to get the poor out of our neighborhood & country? We are to salute those who are carrying this out for us.

Are you, meanwhile, dear reader, actually friends with any poor people?

Humanity is on the precipice of shattering Earth’s limits, and will suffer huge costs if we fail to act on biodiversity loss

“I think we will, certainly, in the next 15-20 years, see continued food crises, and the real risk of multiple breadbasket failures … that’s in addition to a lot of the other risks that might impact us through fresh-water pollution, ocean acidification, wildfire and algal blooms, and so on.”
