Once again Kyla proves to me that, like the Hungarian Circus performer who could keep 20 plates spinning on 20 sticks without losing one of them; she is able to read Albert Camus, CNBC and Casey Handmer and yet integrate so many key concepts into a cohesive blend. You are amazing Kyla and I just love Phil Fisher's statement: the stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing." Money is not a moral compass, and the stock market is a mechanism that prices profits and growth, and literally nothing else. . Kyla, you are a tour de force and I suspect all of your readers love you!
I always appreciate your holistic perspective. I was a labor reporter for a long time and often people use complacency to talk about the emotional experience of workers and why they do certain things. But in my reporting I see it more as despair than complacency. It's deep and it's heavy. Especially in rural US where I did a lot of reporting.
I don't see why the billy goat doesn't put on skis (or a board - no judgement) and ski/board down since it's already snowing. Maybe ski the green line and go to the lodge for hot chocolate.
Does it really have to be this hard or am I missing something?
Great read, thank you for all of your phenomenal writing.
Is it real complacency though? Anecdotally, young people seem to be working really hard. Juggling work / passions / friends, but maybe not wanting to do the service jobs that make it so boomers don't have to wait 10 minutes for a table at a restaurant or sit too long in the drive through line. The amount of times in the last few years I've heard 'nobody wants to work anymore' from someone 50+ is more than I can count, when reality seems to say otherwise
Love your visuals and the billy goat cracks me up! 🤣 Rock on 🤘🏼

Interest rate hikes will usher in fascism ever more!
