For me it’s Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a few local politicians doing stupid things mixed in.

Western sanctions. Seizure of said profits. Inability to spend any of it on things they want. Devaluation of the ruble. Shrinking Russian economy.
These may not affect the very top that much. At least not for a while. But there are a lot of middle managers that got used to the good things in life.
A succulent Chinese meal?
Don’t we all. Seriously, this is going on in most industrialised countries.
Only when it cuts into their profits.
Here’s a novel idea. Don’t use these exploitative services.
Why didn’t two go to the party?
Because he had no one to go with.
they’re a bunch of corrupt assholes.
And that is putting it mildly.
What if extra cheese is one of the toppings?
I still have a Twitter account. I mostly watch the cess pit argue with each other and to keep up with the latest misinformation.
But even that is growing tiresome.
That is to be expected with cutting edge research. Studies get retracted all the time. The vetting process is not perfect and never can be. Especially when there are bad actors gaming the system.
You could attack Lancet and Elsevier in general on other grounds. But this in my opinion is not one of them.
They also publish almost all cutting edge medical research. So what’s your point?
Yet, before the Republican National Convention. Where they are set to officially choose their presidential candidate.
You fail to understand how deeply ingrained the need for infinite growth is coupled into our society. It’s not that some shareholders will not get their profits. Institutional investors (sovereign wealth funds, retirement funds, etc.) will fail to provide services billions of people rely upon.
There won’t be enough people keep the wheels of society turning. Some institutions will stop functioning. Healthcare, industry, law enforcement, etc. will all be under enormous pressure. People will lose faith in society’s ability to provide basic necessities and this is when the collapse proper will begin.
Importing more people from third world countries will not save us in the long run. They will run out at some point. And they will bring some of their problems with them. Causing instability.
If we were to avoid it we would have to replace almost everything.
It would be a threat to humanity’s continued existence in the case of societal collapse. You know, the one we are in the middle of. If one generation cannot for any reason give birth to the next one. It is over. We are facing that scenario right now.
The fact that sperm count in men is alarmingly poor all over the world. Be it caused by pollutants or by medicine allowing those unable to procreate naturally to pass on their genes.
The “gender revolution” has allowed people to be what ever they want to be. But this has led to them to be unwilling or unable to procreate without advanced medicine.
Birth rates are falling off a cliff around the world. In some countries the population will be halved by the end of the century given current birth rates.
This will cause a societal collapse. And those unable to procreate without advanced medicine will die without having children. The others will face an uphill battle to continue living. Their weakened immune systems inherited from ancestors saved by medicine. Battling superbugs created by medicine. Without access to it.
In an effort to heal and help medicine has weakened us and left us vulnerable. And that is a threat to humanity’s continued existence.
You mean those who are on a huge space station that gets blown to bits during the intro sequence?

Don’t forget that porn is a huge chunk as well. Between bots and porn there’s little left.
Work inside all of the political institutions to bring about constitutional change. Abolish electoral college etc.
