You realize what your successful 401k is invested in times like these.

I’d like to invest in morally positive companies. Is there a corp B fund?

I dunno.

@Luke It is well hidden behind euphemisms, but “economical growth” at this point in history (looking at you, Norwegian Oil fund!) is primarily just Monotype-style takeovers loading the once healthy company with massive loans that is repayed by cutting corners and treating workers and users like crap.

Not so terrible, I guess, with fonts as with health services and kindergardens. Profit is a real disease.

@Luke the increasing demand for profit has terrible ramafications, driving up cost of living for everyone which pushes desparate masses into the hands of the far-right.

@monokrom I agree. Growth for the sake of growth is a maddening path for all.
