Wacky Crazy MMT!
To me what’s significant about this presentation is how mainstream and reasonable it is. Remember MMT is about what, not how. What is about Money and not only can we just print what we need, we already do. How? Well, we spend tons of it on useless things like F 35s and it’s certainly arguable …

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I frequently remark, at least privately, on how different my life could be had I chosen this or that path instead of drifting along my current one (which suits me just fine) and I find I am now what I ever wanted to be, a writer who writes for people rather than machines (pretty equally …

Felis silvestris catus
Your cats don’t want you dead. Necessarily. They’re perfectly content to have you serve them instead, though they often wonder why they bother.

To Have And Have Not
Look, I only say Casablanca is better to be polite. Pretty close and I like the underdog. Hmm… SNL- Slim is not anywhere near that desperate. She came out of no place and can vanish right back. She doesn’t need nothin’ from Harry, he’s just another Mark who happens to be in denial that he’s …

Aaron Burr
In the notorious election of 1800 Aaron Burr rose to the highest position of trust he would ever hold in the United States Government, Vice President, thwarted only by Thomas Jefferson in his aspirations. Publicly, Burr remained quiet, and refused to surrender the presidency to Jefferson, the great enemy of the Federalists. Rumors circulated that …

Ebola Again
It hasn’t really changed much. About 2 to 21 days after you’re exposed you basically decompose into a puddle of vomit, diarrhea, and goo from internal and external bleeding following fever, sore throat, muscular pain, rash, and headaches. It has a 50% fatality rate. So you would think people would be happy for whatever help …

Cartnoon
Yeah, yeah, time for House but I’ve been waiting 2 days for this piece. Back In Black- Measles Why? So happy you asked. Because Comedy Central and Viacom have decided you can’t embed videos directly from their website any more so you have to hold on until they show up on YouTube which sometimes they …

Socialist Cat Fight!
Because that’s just what you want to hear about during CPac. First of all Socialism is not about Modern Monetary Theory and MMT is not about Socialism. Socialism is about how you spend State Resources and MMT is about what State Resources are. Unlimited except by your imagination incidentally, the same as any fiat money …

Eli Whitney And The Cotton Gin
Look, it’s not like the South didn’t always have Agricultural Slavery because they always did, originally in the Tobacco, Indigo, and Sugar Cane Trade. It’s equally useless to pretend that despite some exceptions the burden of this labor fell overwhelmingly on Kidnapped Black Africans and later by breeding their descendants like cattle. It is what …
