Where is Winston now.

I want to rub it in his face that gold was a better option than silver.

Well, there is a reason that neoliberalism (aka neoconservatism & free market) is often called the Washington Consensus. Latin American academics call it Dependency Theory. As much as people bitch about the growing number of poor being on welfare, that is the condition the abandonment of Keynesian economic policies has fostered as many of the same conditions leading to the Great Depression in 1929 are present in today's "free" market. It seems like, currently, the goal is to stave off a depression by propping up many of the market actors responsible. What seems to be happening, however, is that the bubbles which would pop, leading to the demise of "free market capitalism", are kept perpetually inflated. Yes, a market collapse would be catastrophic but no one on Wall Street wants to make the sacrifices that would ensure stability. Instead, we're stuck with a one-way valve into a balloon, the integrity of which is desperately managed through a liberal application of band-aids.

but that is esssentially Friedman economics. Create uncertainty and despair and then exploit it. That is what the wallstreet execs did. It is also how we frame our entire foreign policy and internal privatization. Fuck it up, then let the wolves set up and profit. Not a free market. Corporate welfare.

The USA is far from a free market.


There is a book I read Shock Doctrine which is a good read. I think it might be a movie too.

I wouldn't say i know economics. I just read stuff and my memory ain't so bad. I am a little biased in that Chomsky is my niggah. He makes things easy to understand.

That explains it! I'm currently reading that and took Macro-Economics as my elective, last year. I've actually seen the movie. It's a good recap, but not as good as the book for in-depth information. There are a number of other sources which echo her, without really saying what she's said.


I'll try and accumulate those.

why would you pay stupidly high interest on a credit card, when interest in the united states is incredibly low.

Record low for that matter

Money has never been cheaper.

An interesting idea for all of you people that need promotional material. If I can drum up enough business, I will be able to get personalized business cards (branded with whatever design/colour scheme you want, name, anything.) that feature from 1 up to 16GB of storage and a hidden/retractable USB key at a very competitive price point. Probably something really cool for DJs/Producers/Labels/Clubs to hand out, as well as anyone that wants a business card with more than just personal info for extra cool points.

I'll stop with spam now.

Can you get subtle off white coloring, a tasteful thickness, and a watermark?

Yes. Our commitment to our clients is so deep, we will even kill the first prostitute for you!

Look, if you're gonna kill her, you gotta pay for her.

We can ship one already dead and you pay us. Problem solved.

Jesus, why do you think I get hookers in the first place? Next you're going to sell me empty boxes of cereal.

I can even sell you Dodo bird.

Now we're talkin
