In a push to deal with micro plastics, bacteria are developed to be able to break down plastic. Eventually, it gets into the plastic installed for a purpose and starts breaking that down.

Not every sector has.

What is showing itself as a major weakness in retirement saving is that a lot of retirement account managers think that bonds are relatively safe when they really aren't.

The Great Recession went bad because they miscalculated the risk of two unrelated mortgages going bad.

When Covid hit, the increase in interest rates devalued a lot of bonds, something that wasn't seen since the 1980's.

Most of the people here who are confused by your accounts' performance probably have a mix of index funds tied to a basket of stocks.

I like Steve Shives's video on why he thought conservatives like Star Trek.
