Our system cannot effectively accomplish a great number of tasks unless they are profitable, no matter how essential they are.

Well, when it becomes essential, it will become profitable, and they will invest in it. #last-minute-humans

if industry insiders and political pundits hadn't assumed that Trump's discussion of a trade war with China in the election was merely a rhetorical device

His record of doing what he said he would do is only getting better! If only the things he promised weren't so dumb.

Sort:  

Eh... cleaning up the countless mine tailing dams leaking toxic chemicals and risking collapse around the country is essential, but not profitable, so it's not getting done- and there are a lot more examples like that.

I hesitate to look back at Trump's past campaign promises, for fear of which he might fulfill next.
