Hey everyone,

How are you? I really enjoyed reading the discussions in the comments last weekend, and it gave me a lot to think about and write about! So here's another weekend open thread – say hi, ask questions, introduce yourselves if you’re new readers. Vent, get it off your chest, tell everyone what’s on your mind.

If you want to nerd out, we published our GDP 2.0 report over at Eudaimonia&Co, and you're all most welcome to read it. In it, you'll find a pretty startling portrait of what our economy is really like, once we begin to factor in the costs of carbon. Hint: it's not good.

I hope you're having a great weekend. Lots of love from me and Snowy.

Umair
