Marginal utility is the key economic concept that I wish more people understood.

If you give, say, someone with $1tn of net assets £1000 it will have less positive impact on him than if you give someone like me with let’s say £30,000 of net assets

If you’re in the United States, watch this. If you’re in Canada, definitely watch this. Actually just watch this, wherever you are. And then share it. #Canada
THINGS ARE PRETTY GOOD HERE 🇨🇦

I find it hilarious that so many people say they’re tired today because the baseball game went 18 innings last night.
Since when was staying awake a prerequisite for watching a baseball game?

A great Canadian business who has held values at their centre.

•During Covid pandemic, they increased the pay of employees by $2/hour
• Later, this became permanent and starting wages set $18/hr
• They offered 0% interest loans to any employee that couldn’t work due to covid

Last year, I worked with a graduate student from Turkey studying supply chain management. Just after the election, she came into my office, eyes red with fury, and flat out asked me "with everything you've seen around the world, how could you let this happen?" This is burned into me

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshipping.
