Liedtke recently cofounded Unless Collective, which makes plant-based streetwear. At end-of-life, a tag sewn inside each Unless Collective product gives directions on how to return it. The company's working with an industrial composter in California that can make "nutrient rich soil" out of the company's old hoodies and T-shirts. Instead of relying on factories in Asia, Unless Collective manufactures its jackets in Portugal, T-shirts in the Carolinas in the US, and hoodies in Los Angeles. In some cases Unless Collective is working to get a "minimum viable product" on the market in order to keep the company moving forward.

The Trump tax cuts didn't increase investments in American business — in fact, the wealth created for the richest Americans from those tax cuts likely wound up overseas. Instead, the Congressional Budget Office found that corporate tax revenue fell by over 30% the year after the tax cuts passed. We're still unraveling all the harm that the 2017 Trump tax bill has done to the economy.
