3. Buying SPY wins again?
4. I don't really care about rich people getting ripped off, but I wonder if any of my money leaks into these funds

I guess the angle I was coming at it from is that they pay their employees a living wage. I need to buy toilet paper from somewhere, and between Amazon and Costco I would much rather give my money to Costco.
The secret is buying a bidet so you dont need to buy from either ever again!

Could you say more?
It's a 500B company that undercuts everyone else with incredible efficiency, just like Amazon. It's an example of how capitalism can be great. If you really want to get of out of capitalism, you can just buy directly from farmers or grow your own food.
The whole thing about no ethical consumption under capitalism is a just a way to enjoy the conveniences of capitalism on a moral high ground. It's totally doable, you just might not enjoy it haha.

That isn't silly, that's one of the only ways to exercise agency under hypercapitalism. I recently cancelled my Amazon Prime membership and got a Costco membership for the same reason. I don't get every product I want, but I'm also okay with that.
This has to be a meme. Costco is peak hypercapitalism lol.

This has to be the least interesting paper I've ever read with the most surface level thinking.

Just... lol
Holy shit, what a scam...
Perpetual stew feels like a gimmick but stew does taste better on day 2 and 3 for sure.

>>So tell me exactly what we are afraid of
That's your(American) argument, not mine. When I ask why is America building anti-missile batteries and stationing their troops in my country, the answer is "because it furthers their interests". There is of course always some bullshit of "because it improves our security" - but everyone knows that's not true. They are here because they want to project they are a superpower and therefore have bases all over the world, not because they love us.
>>We can start with the Burmese scholarships that gives 300k per student
Well I had to look it up, and apparently this is what Trump said about it:
"We also blocked $45 million for diversity scholarships in Burma. Forty-five — that’s a lot of money for diversity scholarships in Burma. You can imagine where that money went," Trump said.
I wish he was more specific. What is he insinuating, exactly?
>> please tell me exactly what the American interests are.
Having a population of burma(a historically very active conflict area) that is well educated and more likely to oppose the military Junta? Of course no one will ever say that openly, it's "humanitarian aid".
> Having a population of burma(a historically very active conflict area) that is well educated and more likely to oppose the military Junta
Ok so you haven't told me how this furthers Americans interests, that's pretty much every BS power projection argument I've heard for my entire life.
> When I ask why is America building anti-missile batteries and stationing their troops in my country,
Depending on your country, I'm ok with removing the batteries :)

Hey, if I told you I happened to be an expert in this field, hypothetically, and I said this was a vast oversimplificaiton, would you be willing to listen to an expert?
Or do you not trust experts at this point time?
I'm pretty open minded so if you have a detailed answer, I would love to hear it. Just to be clear, I'm not a fan of hand wavy answers around like "stabilizing" or "soft power" because I feel like vague language masquerades corruption and misuse of funds. What I want to know are the direct causal links between our money and our interests.
Many institutions and HNW and UHNW individuals prioritize consistency over absolute growth. They would rather make 6-8% a year and reduce downside risk than optimize for gains. Multi-strat funds like this one are catering to people who want that product.
