        Why has our capacity for reason not sparked a public discourse re the pernicious effects of economic externalities and how we can efficiently and fairly account for them? Environmentally-harmful practices are profitable BECAUSE prices do not reflect all costs. We are ill-informedpic.twitter.com/feIehcb7eJ
