*“In The Sweet By And By”* by Chet Raymo “In the Bahamas there's a saying: 'Everbody wanna go to hebben, but nobody wanna die.' I suppose you could find the same expression anywhere in the world. It's one of those universal axioms, a cognitive dissonance the human species has learned to live with. We want to live forever, but there's always that nagging fear that death is final. When someone comes along promising eternal life, we are quick to jump on board, to buy into the program, to make our Pascal's Wager with a generous tithe.

8 years of "Hope and change" vs 1 year of Trump
I see many people still glamorize the 8 years of "hope and change" in the US when it did not have a single year of GDP growth of 3%. Many policies were simply anti-business. From 2009-2016 of "hope and change," these countries achieved growth of 3% or higher: Canada and Germany 2x, UK and Japan once, USA zero. China, it kept humming at 6-10% growth. Last year, the US was estimated to grow at 2.2%. Joblessness, four years before "hope and change", the US has a low unemployment rate of 5% average.

The Globalization Paradox
Though it would seem that only global cooperation can solve global environmental problems, globalization in its current form works against sustainability. WTO-style capital liberalization causes investment to shift quickly to the site of highest returns, irrespective of national borders. To a far greater extent than in the past, fear of disinvestment causes CEOs to strive for maximum short-term profits. It doesn’t take a genius to understand that corporate short-termism is incompatible with long-term sustainability. read more
