This clear report will be forwared to my right leaning business major grandson. He is starting his sophomore year at UW, Madison, after a summer internship at BMO Bank in Chicago. If he is learning anything at all in school, perhaps this might make him consider not voting fot Trump. A sizable part of this generation is in the "I'm going to get mine" mood after the devasttion of Covid.
Good luck with that, Ransom (not snark). We do have to reach them. UW-Madison is a pretty good school, which suggests your c. 20-year-old grandson is a pretty smart kid. Your grandson was probably something like 5 when the last major recession hit, so he probably doesn't actually remember much about it. Let's hope he gets to study about it in school and gets a chance to evaluate what worked and what didn't about our response. The mood of Gen-Z is entirely understandable, and there's nothing at all wrong about working for a bank. More power to your grandson (as long as he doesn't choose to become a vulture capitalist) :-)
I recommend you give/send him a copy of the book "Wealth Supremacy" by Marjorie Kelly. here is a link: https://marjoriekelly.org/wealthsupremacy/ ISBN 10: 1523004770 ISBN 13: 9781523004775 Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers, 2023
Though it is written in a very readable style, and I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, I keep having to put it down and think hard about what I've just read. I will never view capital, or the way we 'manage' it, the same way again.
Thanks for this book reference. In the summary I have read Kelly outlines a political structural solution to our present day global self destructive iniquitous capitalism. Sounds intriguing 🐈⬛💙

Thanks - yours is wonderful 🐈⬛💙
Thanks for the book recommendation Steve - just bought it for my next read :)
Unless he is a Young Republican and watches Fox all day, he will hear dissent with Trump in Madison.
Got a great nephew there, he is likely left leaning since my niece is one of my political heroes. May they pass in the night
