I spent well over 15,000 hours conservatively, $546 thousand at my customary rate (very reasonable) not counting the money I spent or the $10 grand my thieving traitorous Vice President stole from me while she was cheating on my brother, achieving my ambition of becoming Capo di Tutti. Ahem. Hey, I won, and the rejoicing …

No Sports?
Badminton! From 2019. Women’s Singles Finals Men’s Singles Finals Women’s Doubles Finals Men’s Doubles Finals Mixed Doubles Finals I actually like playing this because as hard as you hit it the birdie flies slow so there’s plenty of time to think.

Catalog of Doom
In a sense I’m overwhelmed with material so it should all be very easy. On the other hand it’s as depressing as Heck and my Therapist was expressing her concern. You know, I don’t even get paid. I do it for me and my Art and the presumptive audience who appreciates a little consistency. Nothing …

That sure worked.
Some Markets were closed today out of superstition (or respect for superstition) but not Oil which is controlled by Godless Communists and Muslims so it was open. Yesterday it rose a bit on news that Russia and the House of Saud had arrived at a production cut agreement. Today it seems less likely that will …

Langa Frigedæg
Oh it means Good Friday in Old English and it’s still used in Scandinavia and Finland.

I mean, it’s clear that Mormonism bears the same relationship to Christianity that Islam does …

About That Reserve Currency Thing
A few days ago I mentioned that the $US as World Reserve Currency had no rivals.

Last Chance to Save the Euro? By …

And Counting
I guess Wall Street is happy Liz and Bernie are out but that doesn’t change the fundamentals a bit. 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week, bringing the pandemic total to over 17 million By Heather Long and Andrew Van Dam, Washington Post April 9, 2020 The surge of job losses continued last week …

Mostly Bad News
So I’ve had a chance (and the will since what I actually want to do is crawl under a rock) to visit some of my Economic sites which are a catalog of Neo Liberal Fail. Ian is relatively positive (for him) and has been uncharacteristically productive. Geopolitics and the Economy After Covid-19 by Ian Welsh …

The Importance Of Ignorance
All hail the Great God Mammon! Bow before Him! Sacrifice your Children and Elders that you may experience His Bounty! Yeah, this is about Money again. Get over it. Money is a mechanism for facilitating Trades. That’s it. The Neo Liberal Elite think you can’t handle the notion so it’s best to keep the Peasants …
