    My inner Social Covenant Capitalist: No problem - counter increases costs with narrower margins, more aggressive marketing, and higher-quality goods.

    Read the article.

    "The group, led by former financial services minister Yuji Yamamoto, presented a blueprint for the Japanese SWF and maintained that professional asset managers should be hired by the fund, which would be a government-owned company."

    Why was a train delayed from a scheduled departure over graffiti? Why not wait until the weekend or some other "down" period and just clean it off then? Just curious.
