Crisis and Responsibility

The only way to get out of a crisis, without creating a new one, is to let people be responsible for their own decisions.

Whether that decision is to take a cruise at a terribly inopportune time, to not save for a downturn, or to spend off your company’s cash on stock buybacks.

When the threat of arrest and violence is used to enforce a humanitarian response, the crisis is not solved, it is merely pushed onto other people or pushed forward to another time.
