Worked Capital Markets trading desks for 25 years. Ran a small company and now teach accounting in college. Just trying to make sense of it all. Can’t we all just get along? Does it seem like we are in the “bread and circus” phase of the Roman Empire?

“I need a new ballroom” “No” “Fine. I tore down the East Wing. Now I have to build a ballroom”. “Still no” “Fine. There was an “assassination” attempt, so for security reasons I need a ballroom”. “Still no and it’s getting tiresome.”

He’s right. The Christian white-washing of a neo-Nazi like Kirk is repulsive. The fact that these southern so-called institutions of learning have pulled shit like this really confirms that the US is fucked. It’s slowly circling the toilet bowl as it slides endlessly towards the sewer.

/2 the starving poor are dying off faster than ever before in history. The combination is what we see. The pace of the move is what we don’t see.

This is probably worrying than we think. The inherent assumption is that we’re getting fatter and that’s pulling up the average. I’m not challenging that part of the equation. The poorest people in the world should be growing and offsetting the rise in the richer fat people. They aren’t.

There is nothing in this pay Package that contributes to society as a whole in any way. This slavish adherence to outsized pay packages does nothing but make Musk rich. It’s Doesn’t contribute to the company. It doesn’t contribute to the employees and it doesn’t contribute to the customers.

Ukraine won’t accept it - and they shouldn’t. Krasnov can fuck right off. Russia isn’t winning. They don’t get to dictate terms. The US is ok longer globally relevant, they don’t either.

The extreme level of gerrymandering bullshit that the GOP is trying here - again - suggests they perhaps should sit down and shut up.

They also changed the Methodology from a survey to an estimate. The number is weak and with previous revisions, is certain to be revised lower as well.

One of the real problems with the US is that The Age of the Old White Man is over, but the US is still ruled by them. The US needs generational change. Get these old farts out to pasture.

I’m so disappointed. They just gave up. They did it in game 5 and they did it again tonight. They mentally checked-out of the game. How does a professional athlete just give up?

The problem is MLSE is a business. The almighty bottom line. The Leafs sell out every game and any playoff games. From their perspective, they are succeeding. That’s why it never changes.

Not this way. Even in the shityy seventies the boys would come out to play. They never had a chance, but they played. In game 5 and tonight, they just gave up. They quit. It’s totally worse.

The US has the audacity to tell people that they have to act in good faith? The reason were in this mess is Trump broke the world trade system and it’s trying to adjust to no US presence at all.
