Catch 22 on trying to change the system

Jun 22, 2021 8:15 PM

I’ve been trying to be smart with very minor investments as far as being socially and economically viable. I’m just getting lapped by people investing the same in companies, whom are sacrificing jobs and environmental impact for short term gains. Especially, the tax loopholes…….. HOW DO WE ENACT CHANGE IF OUR DOLLARS ARE STILL DRIVING THE PROBLEMS?

Look up socially responsible investing. It excludes a lot of companies like big tobacco.

Illegitimate loopholes are a crime, loopholes can be perfectly legal and that's fine.

Choices: 1. Work for company that uses tax loopholes. 2. Invest in company that uses tax loopholes. 3. Poverty. Pick one.

pretty smart how they roped folks with extra spending money into feeling a sense of ownership or power in this system via small investments

you can't enact change. the few dollars you might throw at the problems one way or the other aren't enough to make any difference

As little as possible. That’s the point. Obv, I’m not proud to admit; but it’s a fact: there is a point of diminishing returns for everyone.
