That guy has no right to a black turtleneck.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do find myself agreeing that the economy DOES go up and down and the government shouldn't bail out speculators who mis-allocated capital (unless of course, other people are getting hurt). The solution, naturally, is not LESS regulation, but more, so that that mis-allocation does not occur in the first place. Increase taxes, take in that good old 30 and 40% (and 50%?) of profits and spend it outside the market allocation mechanism: subway systems and big concrete monuments to ex-Presidents and humongous space cruisers. That'll stabilize things. Rein in those animal spirits, that's what I say.
Ahh... yes. Amen.
ReplyDeleteSubways, monuments, and space cruisers (I'd say without laser cannons, but I may compromise). No question, that would be a more efficient use of society's resources than 75% of what the private sector does.
ReplyDeleteI would throw in gigantic, unnecessary dams (Hoover-style), massive space observation facilities (a la Arecibo), flood protection dikes, and of course Casey's idea about a massive IIGS computer that would control all government operations, manage fantasy sports teams, and surf the web for internet porn. The Society of the Future is within our grasp.
Judging by your recent posts, you guys have hit the Vonnegut pretty hard since his death.
ReplyDeletePlayer Piano?
The computer's name was IPECAC.
I don't listen to hip-hop.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of hip-hop:
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about writing the text of a song with help from the forum we've assembled here.
The title is "You have an urgent message from Bob Impact." I don't want to undemocratically constrain creativity, so I won't say more. But if you guys have any killer lines, I'm all ears.
I'm not sure what kind of rhyme scheme you have going but here goes:
ReplyDeleteMy friends call me Bob/You can call me Robert/Force of Impact will be maximum/It will make all of your body parts hurt
Suggested second verse:
ReplyDeleteInitial Impact will come first
Final Impact will occur next
Impact has no charitable tendencies
Or maybe it does
I like "impact has no charitable tendicies" quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteAlso to fit in there will be something like
"you're moves are genuine class."
then to follow:
ReplyDelete"my grammar and spelling have taken a hit from a smart bomb meant for an afghan wedding"
