Summary
<p>So many of the challenges we face are nobody’s job. In a market sense, what big company benefits from fundamentally improving our health system? Whose job is it to save the climate? Whose job is it to redeem ourselves from the oppression of black slavery and the genocide of Native Americans? Whose job is it to restore the middle class? So many of the most daunting challenges and exciting opportunities we face are, in a market sense? Nobody's job. You are the coalition of the benevolently irrational. The good people are doing good things for no good reason. And you are priceless. Definition of priceless? Worth a lot, not for sale. </p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
