    Integrity. Capitalism without regulation is a painful slippery slope where more and more is lost and given up to feed the beast and always requires much complicity at each step from average people who have little choice but to say yes in the short term when collectively we’re all hurt in the long term. Pollute the water? Outsource the labor? Cut back the benefit? Shrink the product? It starts with capitalist, then politicians are bought…then every company and executive, then middle management…they all give in. You have kids now thinking this is how the world has always or should work.

    Integrity is a stalwart against many ills, and it’s desperately needed to return.
