I went to a party the last night and met the most amazingless people ever. I could barely keep my eyes open.
I could never imagine how amazingless these people were without meeting them. They were totally unenthusiastic.

ESG - Environmental, Social and Governance investing, also known as “sustainable investing” are investments that seek positive returns for positive performances and long-term benefits to environment, social and governance. and green businesses.
For those greedy selfish interested parties who would never consider donating a dime for a positive benefit, there is always ESG investing, where profiteers can make a positive contribution, create new jobs without getting all pinko.

A will written in such a way that the dead person donates a substantial amount of money to a charitable trust in a way that shapes the world according the dead persons conditions.
The billionaires have invented zombie philanthropy to assure that their bad ideas in life continue to be funded long after they are gone.

An Institution that is too big of a risk to save. The institution is often viral and perpetuates big failures to their benefit and to their constituents detriment. Their philosophy is basically: Heads I win, Tails you loose.
The failing Institution has a neg trend, that will continue since policy changes don't achieve recovery goals even when successful. For those affected there is extreme vulnerability and risk of saving it, and little to gain.
If success occurs it benefits those that caused the failure. Those most negatively impacted continue to pay the costs, and suffer.
The group saving the institution may have little control over the outcome and benefit stream, but is responsible for all the costs and liability. However, the group saving may have an agenda and be able to transfer the cost to others. And may do so at a very high price.
The group doing the saving may be walking the fine line of being an empowerer or enabler.
Sometimes as an enabler in collusion with the institution to keep the those people affected by the institution in a constant struggle for survival.
Saving the institution creates moral hazard. Failing institutions point to the negative "domino effect", where their failure will create catastrophic failure. Others argue the "domino effect" is the solution since it destroys institutions that perpetuate disasters, and end subsidized failure.

Wall Street is is "Too big to be saved".
Why would Wall Street want to be saved anyway. By most accounts it planned the failure. And bet against it's success. It would be against their free market principles to save Big Failure. And they could grab the assets up for a few cents on the $.
Italy is not "Too big to be saved". However, the Italian gov is too big a failure to save. Italy is a beautiful country and will be easy to save when the gov that perpetuated the disater is removed.
Measures to save the institition may cause more suffering than letting it fail. Saving the institution may not save the positive attributes of the institution, which may not have any to begin with, especially when those most responsible for the failure have the most to gain, and profit.

A poorly designed roundabout; eg poor design, confusing signage/road markings, mixing bikes and pedestrians into the traffic in precarious ways. The problems is made worse when many drivers are not from the local area and are not be familiar with the intersection.
We are about to enter the crashabout, don't assume the other drivers, bikers and pedestrians have a clue as to what to do.
