What “The Great Reset” Is and Why It Should Scare You
So, no, there is not a communist conspiracy to use COVID-19 and global warming as an excuse to establish the dreaded “New World Order.” The capitalists behind “The Great Reset” are not interested in destroying capitalism, and most of them are probably well meaning.

A Future Without Belongings: Own Nothing, Have Everything – Orit Dolev
Technology Designer Orit Dolev gave a talk about cherishing experiences over material items and examines the importance of services in a nomadic world where citizens can work from anywhere, so long as they have access to the internet. She discusses the shift in consumer behavior, where we are valuing digital services more than physical products. She elaborates with the example of Uber: a technology company that was able to replace the need for purchasing a car by providing a service. She argues that as technology advances to be implemented in most of our everyday objects, they will become a tradable service that can be swapped, traded, and used in the same way we use digital media.

Trump Exits Open Skies Treaty, Moves to Discard Observation Planes
In a move that could complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s options if he sought to re-enter the agreement, the Trump administration is taking steps to dispose of the two specially equipped OC-135B planes the U.S. has used to carry out Open Skies flights.
A senior U.S. official said the planes are being designated as “excess defense articles,” which means they can be given to foreign partners at reduced or no cost.
“We’ve started liquidating the equipment,” the official said. “Other countries can come purchase or just take the airframes. They are really old and cost-prohibitive for us to maintain. We don’t have a use for them anymore.”
