[See the full post at: Debt Rattle August 15 2018]Who are you educating? A kindergarten? Ilargi
Lol, reminds me of something Edwin Arlington Robinson said a long, long time ago:
The world is not a prison-house but a kind of spiritual kindergarten where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell God with the wrong blocks.
Edwin Arlington Robinson…We’ll not solve this problem; plastics will be our demise…
Help Me, My Prince: Guernsey Resident Halts Roadworks With Ancient Plea (G.)
Wow! Remarkable. Hope we can keep up with this to see if it works.Professors recommend massive central planning as a positive solution? At the same time the media has banned Venezuela’s news agency from view, perhaps so no news about the catastrophic failure of socialism and central planning hits the news every day? Typical.
Yes, it *might* help this particular problem. But at the risk of creating hundreds of others, with thousands or millions of deaths, as demonstrated by 150 years of history. Ask any professor, who knows that self-same history, and he’ll give you a double-sided answer, usually “it’s different this time”, “not so long as they obey my brilliance and majesty” and “that wasn’t real central planning/socialism/they didn’t go far enough into economic totalitarianism.” For schmartz guys they sure are dumb.
Not to despair, I have a solution as well: instead of looking into history and doing all the things that DIDN’T work and killed millions, why don’t we look into history and enact the things that DID work? I’m not a genius or anything, but that seems a better plan to me. Somewhere, sometime, somebody solved this. Find them and try.
Maison de Van Gogh Arles 1933
A very popular house it would seem.
Many changes over almost 50 years…
Nice job by Paul Signac, lovely.V Arnold, it was damaged by a WWII bomb and torn down.
And as for yesterday, yes, concrete can last, but only if it’s the right mix. Which means way more expensive, etc. ten to one no-one uses that. There’s a guy who invented self-repairing, using bacteria. But that’s not what existing infrastructure was built with.
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

My point was, what we can do; and what we actually do, is an entirely different matter.
Some of us strive for excellence; most don’t; that cannot be helped.
Only what we personally choose for excellence matters; the rest be damned!
Most of us will go down with the majority, regardless of our exemplary behavior in our perception of a life well lived…
An Italian proverb:
After the game, the king and pawn go into the same box.” — Italian ProverbI grew up in Jersey. People would occasionally invoke Prince Rollo, usually for property disputes. It has to be done in the Royal Square, in front of the local parliament building (The States of Jersey).
Best way to reduce obesity crisis would be to offer truly nutritious foods at affordable prices in the supermarkets. Won’t happen.
I read somewhere and I can’t remember where, that in reality there is only one political party in America and it has two factions. One is controlled by one group of oligarchs and the other faction by another group of oligarchs. Sounds about right to me.
