This Week's Quote: "The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel." —H.L. Mencken

Meanwhile people who pretend to know economics blather on about "HUR DUR GOLD STANDARD AM DUMB! DHERE ISN'T ENOUGH GOLD FOR IT HUR DUR! IT MAKES ARE MONEY UNFLEXABLE DERP!" and "HURR DER IT MAKE NO SENCE! DEERP!" among other things.

Dear GovCo and its bank (the Fed),

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly.

In other news, where'd my userpic go? O_o

[AnCap Dave]

Everyone's userpic was deleted with the change in servers.

I had to reupload mine as well.

[MrBogosity]

I found some of them and put them back, but I don't know how they disappeared.

[Ibrahim90]

well, that dumb politician (I know, redundant) did say this:

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. ... You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

yeah, she's the same person.
