"I have good news for you. However much people grumble about recycling – and I do too, especially when at the beach I watch neatly separated materials tossed together into the back of a truck – almost everyone still understands that recovering useful material is better than burying it, burning it, wasting it, or pretending not to see it. Almost nine out of ten Americans agree that recycling is worthwhile and valuable. That instinct is what Ethical Capitalism looks like at the human scale: individuals choosing not to waste value, and systems built to help them act on that choice. These objects are not evidence of a fallen, consumerist world. In the right hands they are evidence of common sense, specialized skill, and decades of determination applied at scale: mined, refined, engineered, manufactured, distributed, used, recovered, and used again."

This St. Patrick's Day I reflect in gratitude on all the ways that never forgetting a grudge has helped make me a better person and more appreciative of those few people against which I do not hold a grudge.

“How can any company know if its processes, products, people are safe? Only if everyone is watching and telling the truth. The first part can be assumed; the second cannot.”
Margaret Heffernen, Author of Willful Blindness

Going against the grain is clearly not for everyone—and it doesn’t tend to help you in your social life—but to make the really large money in investing, you have to have the guts to make the bets that everyone else is afraid to make. -- Carlo Cannell

Read about what the Romantics like about Capitalism, but not these Romantics. (link in replies)

[Taylor Rafferty @TaylorRafferty]

Any framework that weakens the link between personal effort and personal outcome, or hides that link, feels dishonest. Not unjust in theory, but spiritually false—dissonant in both brain and bones.

Things you don't often see: a vertical jump in US debt levels as measured by corporate liabilities as a percent of GDP.

You can quibble about the metric but 2020 wasn't going to be a good year for systemic debt by almost any measure --except, of course, interest rate expenses!
