HI @Fanua, this account is actually the account to which the Guardian's press.coop followers have been migrated after Flipboard took over press.coop's accounts (read more here). https://about.flipboard.com/fediverse/flipboard-takes-over-press-coop-accounts/.
Unfortunately since The Guardian has stopped updating its account on Flipboard, we are no longer able to post its content. The account you're replying to here has been created to "house" The Guardian's followers in case they wish to build their own presence in the fediverse. We can move those followers to any server, any time, and will of course do that if The Guardian joins Mastodon.
The disinformation machine that is right wing/corporate-owned media, centralized social media owned by the likes of Zuck and Musk, and Russia is a huge reason why we’re where we are. We will get nowhere until and unless something is done to counter it.
@garymarcus has a great article on this that captures my view nicely: Hinton's Nobel is a mistake, but the Chemistry Nobel's inclusion of Hassabis and Jumper for AlphaFold was deserved recognition of important, original work.

The media network that wins elections _despite_ the leaders on the ballots. This works the same way across Europe.

"Our disagreement is not merely political, but a fundamental divide on what it means to live in a society." - a conclusion that I've been stumbling upon in a completely different part of the world. Politics is the effect, ways of being are the cause.

CEOs tend to be people who have worked their way up through large organizations, unlike billionaire entrepreneurs or hedge fund managers. The CEOs of America’s largest companies almost universally oppose Trump because he is the antithesis of who they are—servant leaders who have succeeded by bringing people together to win as a team, with integrity, global thinking, and open minds.
This year, Trump has taken increasingly extreme anti-business, including proposing draconian, universal 10% tariffs on all imports from all countries, which would hurt businesses and consumers while raising prices across the board. Trump has also suggested he would curtail the independence of the Federal Reserve. No CEO relishes the prospect of a politicized Fed driving destabilizing see-saw swings in monetary policy to satisfy presidential whims.
A brief explanation of why experts need to communicate their positions when they have them, and not hide behind the pretence of neutrality.

Clearly valid for all ongoing elections, but the USA is that one important player that is lagging behind drastically, even behind China

In at least one thing the US is no different from any other place: all the invisible people that make part of society.
Yet, maybe there they have a bigger sway than elsewhere. This might be bad news for the current elections, but it is a good thing overall.
