(Our portcos weaved in the links)
Our wishes for the rest of 2021. The holiday fairy missed our request,
so here is it in all its glory to some new recipients. Santa and Hanukkah Harry
finally got their vaccinations and are able to deliver this gift to you.
Dear Easter Bunny and Passover Elijah,
From Tony at RampRate, many years of age
I tried to write this wishlist to Santa
But the elves seem to have quarantined that page
We’re not home free, so some help is still required
So as much as my rabbi might look askance
I’ll write to the Bunny and to Lakshmi for Diwali
To the Spaghetti Monster if it helps my chance
First, please keep helping the world heal back better
Like the spring that blooms after the darkest nights
Help us blossom from the year that went on forever
With more peace, joy, and love, a lot less strife
Instead of shiny cars, let’s get some better drivers
Instead of newer gadgets, more moments to connect
Instead of money, fewer career and social climbers
That only think of the profit that things net
The second thing I’m humbly requesting
Might be too big, but still, I have to ask
Is for the world to really start investing
In tech for everyone, not just addictive apps
Help us find a natural path to healing
Medicinal and tribal psychedelics, even cannabis
Vetted by doctors and with no concealing
Of odd supply chains, harm, or ineffectiveness
Please rid us of the quacks and fakers
As the world gets back to work in full health
Build new communities of difference-makers
Build new see ways to measure our real wealth
New internet – fast, simple, with security
Financial independence for students
Investments that democratize opportunity
Data so that our wallets fund what’s in our hearts
A bit more sanity in our social network feeds
Even a couple dozen reasoned thoughts would do
Cops who protect and serve those who don’t look like me
Laws that help the many and not just the few
And finally, the present that’s most exciting
Whether in an Easter egg or under my special tree
It’s probably the main reason that I’m writing
Is a newer, better, more impactful me
The me that breathes love and kindness
The one that finds joy every day at work
The person who bikes and exercises
The kind who’s calm even when faced by jerks
And for my RampRate team, a brand new focus
A bit more of what bright stars like them crave
To earn something more than cash and tokens
To go beyond the millions we make or save
For them, a product and service to heal the corporate psyche
Aligning teams, suppliers, people, and the world
To help supply chains invest in impact more wisely
Stay tuned, it’s something we will soon unfurl
The world is changing – I believe it’s for the better
And while I’d love help from the bunnies and the elves
If the post office misdirects this letter
That’s still all right – we’ll fix the world ourselves
Since cookies are not the healthiest treats for browsers or reindeer
And chimney visits could spread more than holiday cheer
I’m maybe sending you botanical treasures from Kauai which I hold dear
Let’s take some time to reconnect in this refreshing year
Here is an update on RampRate and my personal investments:
And an overview of where we are headed at

Wishing you a better and more fruitful 2021
Heartfelt great wishes from your friends at Ramprate and Syzygy Impact.
