The Biggest Monster History has had so many, it almost seems like a contest sometimes.

Rentiers cf. United States vs. Russia vs. China
AI Overview of
Rentiers in the USA, Russia, and China 
who operate within fundamentally different economic systems, with distinct bases of power. 
In the USA, rentierism is driven by finance, intellectual property, and real estate. 
In Russia, it stems from natural resource extraction and state-connected oligarchs. 
In China, the state limits private rentier activities and prioritizes public control over banking and land ownership.

How Pollsters Are Financed
Google AI Overview
Pollsters are financed through client fees from political campaigns, media partnerships, and corporate market research. They generate revenue by selling private data, running proprietary surveys, and utilizing public-facing polls for brand marketing. 
Commercial and Private Clients
Political Campaigns: Candidates, political parties, and political action committees (PACs) pay pollsters directly for private tracking 
and strategy data. 
Corporate Research: Many polling firms operate primarily as market research companies, helping private businesses test consumer products, messaging, and brand sentiment. 
Omnibus Surveys: Clients pay to insert specific questions into a 
pre-existing, shared national or regional survey. 
Media and Academic Funding
News Organizations: Major networks and newspapers (such as NBC News or The New York Times) commission or co-fund public opinion surveys to break news and drive coverage. 
Universities and Think Tanks: Academic polling centers receive funding through institutional budgets, research grants, educational endowments, and public donations. 
Publicity Loss-Leaders: High-profile public polls released for free by commercial firms often serve as marketing to showcase their accuracy and attract high-paying corporate or private clients.

’Shiner 1st Known Photograph of People Shows the Focus of Labor
’Shiner
1st Known Photograph of People Shows the Focus of Labor
According to “historians” on Instagram of Louis Daguerre’s 1838 daguerreotype:
“The image was taken in Paris at the Boulevard du Temple, a busy street. Due to the long exposure time required for early photography – around 10 minutes – the bustling street appears empty, as most people moved too quickly to be captured. However, in the lower portion of the image, a man getting his shoes shined stood still long enough to be immortalized in history.
This man, along with the shoe shiner, became the first people ever photographed, making the daguerreotype a significant milestone in photographic history and the development of image technology.”

January 16 is National Nothing Day anthonystephenson.org/art/nothing.... Nobody – a self-portrait 
Many years ago I came across a medieval print in a book depicting a character without a body which I duly noted with a drawing in a notebook. I decided to do a modern version here.
