President Trump and Joe Biden, in the run-up to the Presidential election, have staked out dueling positions on the climate, suggesting voters to either care (the democratic stance, pretending to know) or not care (republican stance, oblivious to nature's evolution) about our environment. Both are wrong.
Litmus Reductio, Three Things To Comprehend As Admission To Govern
I cannot stress enough the importance of the proper pedigree in government, for, in the words of Albert Einstein, the theory you are responsible for developing, determines what humanity can discover. A trust that should be earned not given.

Hotel CalPERS
CalPERS' problems are not the players but its investment game. Macro over micro. Cause over consequence.

Why ESG Is A Dangerous Religion
Why is it, that a thesis of finance eleven times the size of production does not get vetted and scrutinized?

Facebook is like an infant with parents strung out on drugs, the child sadly left to its own devices. Courtesy of freedom detached from paradoxical rules, the epitome of unfreedom. I blame the child's parents, mostly, as in all cases where the parents are not keeping a watchful eye over the children they proclaim to love so much. Oh, how I have seen this scenario unfold before.

Cheap Divisive People
I would not trust any politician who treats the problems with the U.S. Postal Service using skin-deep easy-peasy talking points. Reaffirming the need for a litmus test for politicians once again.
Sean Penn Is A Good Man
I like Sean Penn for his stance on the meaning of life, his acting, and the work he is doing to pick-up the slack on pandemic relief. Authentic curiosity and empathy for the human condition driving his efforts. Hats off.
Dauphin Summers
Economists, like Larry Summers, have a tendency to make shit up after a threat appeared unexpectedly in their rear-view mirror, for their modus-operandi is to deploy an extrapolation of hindsight sold as foresight to break the norm.
