  • See I had forgotten the one golden rule of capitalism. To thrive in capitalism one must be amoral. Now you can be wildly sickeningly successful with morals but you cannot reach that absolute zenith of shareholder value. Either you accept a lower share price and don’t commit atrocities or you become evil. There is no third option.

    Spot on.



  • “Attitudes toward Putin are shifting. Economic optimism is fading, along with the everyday patriotism tied to it… Finally, there is a growing recognition that the war cannot be won – a war that has itself changed, eroding Russia’s advantages.”

    Meaningless and/or irrelevant. As the article later states there is no challenge to putin and no other vision for the war except to drag it on.

    Ukraine is going to prevail, the question is how can they do so sooner rather than later.
