Reductive, but we used to have a conservative party and a progressive one. Conservatives stamped out a path and acted to hold on to what they had. Progressives understood things had to change because that's how time works. Now we have one ultraconservative party, and one regressive party.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

Selfish individuals thrive in colonies, but altruistic colonies thrive in their environment.
In nature “every man for himself” is a death sentence.
