Short Episode: What is ESG Investing (Environmental, Social, and Governance)?

Ep.44 - part 3 - Why Have Our Exports Prices Gone Up Faster Than Our Imports Prices Have?

Disability sometimes leads to innovation. When the old ways don’t work as well and there is a breakdown, in a free enterprise system like ours, it tends to lead to new inventions, new methods, and a technological leap forward. That is how we innovate in America. Until something doesn’t work anymore, we tend to stick with it, but when the need arises, we invent.
