I’ll also note, I’m not like cheerleading “ESG”-wash or anything. I’m not sure the 7% interest rate was particularly concessionary or anything…

In the same way, my home insurer is essentially betting against my house burning down…
I guess Jamaica might be in a better position to issue debt before a major disaster rather than after… still seems to me a reasonable way to prepare for disaster.
Anyway, thanks for response & confirming! 🙂

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.
