This is not the world I want to live in.
-- What does it mean to be an athlete with a Pampers - P & G sponsorship?
-- It means that I strive to be my best, and I get to do events like this.
The reporter may believe she is reporting news. But the athlete knows that *she* is earning points toward her obligation to promote the product.
If Mr. Schumacher-Matos were able to spend some time explaining, I would hope that we could gain some understanding not so much of why this is considered news, but rather, why mention of the various instances of, consequences of and solutions for economic externalities are not reported as such.
Or, even better, tell us when and how this serious omission will be corrected.
Accounting for externalities in ways that are efficient and fair would mean, possibly, a sustainable society. Accounting for externalities would *likely* mean a sustainable society. Currently, we do not have a sustainable society. Does that matter? Should that be mentioned?
Accounting for externalities efficiently and fairly would mean an end to extreme poverty across the world. Does that matter? Who cares?
What reporters are not reporting: Systemic flaws and their solution:
