  • PRIGOZHIN JESTER COSTUME FOR HALLOWEEN? Ok. Setting aside this man’s character.

    PRIGOZHIN JESTER COSTUME FOR HALLOWEEN?
    Ok. Setting aside this man’s character. And yes, I know thats trying to move an elephant around a cottage’s living room. But #Prigozhin is hysterical both when he’s trying to be and when he’s not. I mean, he’s such an archetypal Russian … at least, an archetypal Russian that isn’t the drunk type of archetypal Russian. For his sake I hope he can fly from upper storey windows.

    I love russians, ukrainians, and belarusians. I’d just prefer they’d get Russia out of the habit of empowering Czars. 😉

    So, have some Solyanka, Pelmeni, and Cucumber. Ok? Good. Now find sometihing useful to do like rounding up a few gopniks ‘with physical enthusiasm’. And maybe let some normal people govern for a bit? Good? Yes. That’s good. Thanks. Now go out and play.

    UNORGANIZED CONSPIRACY OF COMMON INTERESTS
    There is a longing suspicion in the state, and in some portion of the public, that this industry needs to go away. IMO this was caused by the loose self regulation of the industry. That said, if we look at EVERY revolutionary industry, the first and second generation of ‘producers’ goes bankrupt as they discover the limits of their individual experiments.

    I’ve been on this for ten years as of this year, and I’m sticking with we need an insurer of last resort. And that either has to be an independent Board, a network of major financial institutions or the treasury.

    And IMO that competition between those three is going to be the next phase. And I suspect that the govt AND a board together will win. Because the financial sector is a worse problem than the govt. And becuse the competitionb etween a board (private) and state (public) is necessary to keep both ‘honest’.

    FWIW: IMO the mistaken positioning of the “ledger of title’ as ‘money substitute’ combined to near universal ignorance of the function of the broad range of financial instruments as stores of time on one hand, and a failure to grasp the limits of mathematics on the other, has led to extraordinary fanciful thining by young generations that are spending man years of work, and losing billions of dollars, reinventing what we’ve known for a century: “there is no closure except actionable reality itself.”

    And I have to explain that, then you know why the tech problem persists. 😉

  • THE NECESSITY OF ONE STRATEGIC CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM: HAZARDING. The hardest lim

    THE NECESSITY OF ONE STRATEGIC CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM: HAZARDING.
    The hardest limitation to place on legislators when we reform our law and constitution consists of two parts: the prohibition on a) creating a moral hazard, and b) baiting into hazard to promote it.

    For this reason we have had to outlaw the PROPOSAL of legislation that violates the natural law, and in particular baiting into hazard by advocating a moral hazard. And punishment for doing so.

    All leftism consists of promoting a moral hazard, baiting into hazard, social construction of falsehoods to advocate it. Every leftist ambition is an effort to deny immutable laws of the universe: physical scarcity, behavioral amoral acquisitiveness, evolutionary load and selection, and the logic we used to describe those laws.

    All leftism is crime. Why? The evasion of responsibiilty and resulting hierarchy of standing for carrying the burdent of that responsibilty for incraesing numbers over increasing time frames.

    The law is ready to add to the constitution.
    Y’all just have to show up and make it happen.

  • WHEN THE FEDS ARRIVE AT YOUR BANK… When the feds arrive and take over your ban

    WHEN THE FEDS ARRIVE AT YOUR BANK…
    When the feds arrive and take over your bank, it looks like an army of suits, and they use polite but firm language, and soft and practical voices. So, they don’t look like the Swat team has battered open your door, thrown flash bangs thru the windows, and barged in by the dozens in full combat gear, shouting in deep threatening voices, with flashlights in your face, batons smashing you flat to the ground, while getting pig piled by angry gorillas with poor manual dexterity fitfully trying to put on the handcuffs.
    No. It doesn’t LOOK like that.
    But it FEELS like that.

    (good) 😉

  • (lame critics) FIXING THE BANKING PROBLEM FROM GAMBLING TO MEASURING RE: Silicon

    (lame critics)
    FIXING THE BANKING PROBLEM
    FROM GAMBLING TO MEASURING
    RE: Silicon Valley Bank

    Now, look at the parade of me-too’s blaming the president, administration, treasury, and fed for another massive failure. I think this is the second or third worst administration in our history. But lay blame where it’s due, not where it isn’t.

    Let me clue you in.
    Banks are in a market.
    The government creates rules of that market – the rules of the ‘game’.
    The rules of the game force competitors to the limits of the rules.
    The government can’t act in opposition to the rules it creates – unless the do it equally to all.
    They can’t do it equally to all. Why?
    The compound debt system does not work.
    Fixing the compound debt system is disruptive.
    The transparency necessary by fixing that system would handcuff politicians and terrify the public.
    So no one is going to fix this until it’s so bad that there are no alternatives. (that’s gonna happen)
    But (a) we absolutely positively know how to fix it. And (b) it’ll be disruptive. So we can only fix it during a crisis where we’re curing that disruption by fixing it with another.
    Economics and finance is not complicated if you’re measuring instead of gambling.
    Our system of world credit is based on gambling not measuring.
    FIxing it’s possible.
    And it’s eventually necessary.
