Thermonuclear Takes: Uber, Boston Dynamics, Income Inequality, Climate Change

A bumper episode with a crop of interesting news stories to round
out the year:

-> Uber sells its self-driving car section, and Softbank sells
robot company Boston Dynamics. What can we infer from these moves
about the state of the tech sector?

-> Reports show income inequality rising since 1975 has
resulted in $47 trillion additional income accruing to the top
10%, and that trickle-down economics doesn't work as
intended

-> Global emissions fall by 7% this year due to the COVID-19
pandemic: could we do this with a positive shift to
decarbonisation? And a new study suggests that the land sink of
CO2 may be weakening.
