Just finished reading Galbraith’s End of normal. He states banks don’t lend money for production of goods etc. But banks have lent money to drillers. But on second thought: banks betted on the oil trend, not on a production facility.
I feel bad about child poverty but I have no idea what I could do about it. I give money to charities but individual action seems pointless to me. Once upon a time I could have voted for a party that had in its program the fight against child poverty. No more.
