Capitalism's dilemma: if I can't quantify it, how can I qualify it; if I can't measure it, how can I treasure it?

I just did the earthquake drill, and I may need to rethink my desk configuration. There's just barely enough room for me, but if I can quickly move my computer tower out of the way, should be fine. Need to get that thing on sliders! www.earthquakecountry.org/step5/

I've been listening to my MP3 player, sorted alphabetically by song title. Hours and hours of S songs, and now I'm on the "Summer" titles, just in time for actual fall weather.

UPS does this all the time. First, an email saying "we're delivering tomorrow", then a few minutes later, "on second thought, we're going need more time". Which is marginally better than their other usual: out for delivery..... then 5 minutes after EOD, psych! we'll deliver tomorrow.
11:02 am: UPS delivery tomorrow

The first seven chapters are all about equal education and opportunities for girls and women, even touching slightly on women's suffrage. Then by the end it's "a woman's place is in the home". Disappointing.

Neiman cites research showing that “the longer people study economics, the more selfish they become.” The reason, as she interprets it, is that they grow convinced that maximizing self-interest is normal, and that to do otherwise makes you a sucker. The more the logic of capitalism pervades the rest of life, the less room there is for compassion, honor or heroism. Maybe that’s why some of the people most financially able to defend liberal democracy have decided it’s one of the few luxuries they can live without.

CJ Roberts says this is part of Trump's official duties, so he can't be prosecuted for buying votes. CJ Roberts would probably say Trump can't even be impeached for buying votes.
