    HAMSTER WHEEL OF URBAN ECONOMICS

    Proximity decreases opportunity costs (time).

    Decreases in opportunity costs increase transactions.

    Increases in transactions increase monetary velocity.

    Monetary velocity increases possibility of consumption.

    Increases in consumption increase possibility of taxation.

    Increase in taxation increase possibility of commons.

    Increases in commons produce increases in demand for use (if not consumption)

    Increase in use of commons creates demand for government

    Increase in demand for government create increases in opportunities for rent.

    Increase in opportunity for rent increase rents.

    Increases in rents decrease opportunity for commons and consumption

    and… you see where this goes.

    There is greater incentive and control in accessing rents than in creating or using commons or production.

    As in all cases rents accumulate until maintenance of commons is impossible

    Incomes decline.

    Rents and debt remain.

    Top margin leaves.

    Leaving only extractors (financial sector), and rent extractors (dependence and the state).

    Finally the major industries leave.

    And that’s it.

    Urban death follows.

    The only possibility is external wealth, such as byzantium could extract as trade moved through the narrow straights.

    This is why the middle east is a disaster.

    It evolved to specialize in parasitism not production.

    When the trade route fell because of the age of sail it was dark ages for them, just as the muslim destruction of mediterranean trade caused the economic dark ages in europe.

    The Hamster Wheel of economics.

    As far as I know Trump manages just like I do, and it’s the optimum method of getting the truth out of people. He brings in the staff, he puts the person reporting to one side, and senior staff sits on the couches behind. He fosters debate. He instigates debate. He even instigates conflict.

    Now, what happens when you read reports instead? What happens if you listen to briefings instead? You are captured (as was obama) by the frame.

    Trump falsifies. (I do the same fking thing)

    Then he stays on mission: what will advance america’s interests first *now that peace and harmony are no longer in american interests, but each country’s taking full responsibility is on our interests.*

    King of the hill.

    Yeah, sorry. I think things thru.

    Iran has lots of ballistic missiles, conducts war through proxies (terrorist militias), has access to the saudi fields via the south, and the ability to disrupt world oil prices in the gulf. Wants to take over Iraq and Syria and have access to both gulf and Mediterranean. From their they will take the Saudis and the princedoms if the Turks, Saudis, Egyptians and Israelis don’t resist them. So they will have a corridor from the mediterranean to the Caucuses to Afghanistan and the indian ocean.

    However, Iran has an antiquated military. And we are far beyond their ability to project power.

    And you’re missing the point that global peace is no longer in our domestic interests either strategically or economically.

    I hate quoting fiction other than the occasional Herbert, but “Chaos is a Ladder” of opportunity.

    We want chaos this year and as much of it as possible.

    Revolution comes.

    (In my university, because I majored in Fine Art, you could take creative writing for credit every semester. I did. But, i’m too disagreeable and appreciative of the finer things to write works of fiction in poverty for two to four years at a time just so I can play lottery games with publishers. I won a scholarship voted by the professors two years in a row for the most likely to become a practicing artist. But I’m unsuited for poverty. I prefer technology, business, law, philosophy, politics and war. Literature is just writing philosophy but in slow motion for peanuts. )

    I DUNNO. NETANYAHU?

    Charges appear political to me, not criminal. In other words they’re within the limits access buying, but there isn’t any evidence of quid pro quo.

    Same with Trump really.

    Compare with Obama giving 150M to a publisher for writing up the education standards, and getting 50M for his book rights from the same publisher on exit.

    That’s quid pro quo.

    The semblance of, or possibility of influence (corruption) is not the same as the demonstrated evidence of direct or indirect quid pro quo.

    Obama shouldn’t have used that publisher. That was quid pro quo. I haven’t seen a single instance of anything of that nature with Trump or Netanyahu.

    So the left uses a double standard benefitting their members but not applying the same standard to the opposition’s members.

    This double standard within a group is a crime under P-Law.

    The most controversial proposition is to extend progressive taxation such that we tax by density because density decreases opportunity costs.

    FAMILY HISTORY. SMALL NUMBERS. WAR.

    Continental Army 1775

    George Washington

    … Right Wing

    … … … (Six Regiments)

    … … 3rd (Spencer’s) Brigade (Brigadier General Joseph Spencer).

    … … … (Six Regiments)

    … Left Wing

    … … 2nd (Lee’s) Division (Major General Charles Lee)

    … … … … (Plus Six More Regiments for a total of seven)

    … … … 6th (Greene’s) Brigade (Brigadier General Nathanael Greene)

    … … … … (Eight Regiments)

    … Reserve

    … 3rd (Putnam’s) Division (Major General Israel Putnam)

    … … 2nd (Heath’s) Brigade (Brigadier General William Heath)

    … … 4th Brigade (vacant) (commanded by Putnam because Seth Pomeroy declined his commission)

    There were 688 men in a colonial line regiment. This total consisted of 8 infantry units of 86 men. The colonial rifle regiment would have 680 men. This was 10 units of 68 riflemen.

    6+6+7+8 = 27 * 680 men = in theory, 18,000 men

    Over 230,000 soldiers served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, although no more than 48,000 at any one time. The largest number of troops gathered in a single place for battle was 13,000. The majority were from new england.

    (Colonel Ephraim Doolittle is my 5th grandfather, or 4th great grandfather. He was a captain in the army under General Amherst in the French War of 1755, and served under him at the capture of Ticonderoga and Crown Point. The Revolutionary Regiment was disbanded at the end of the first year of battle (congress).)

    I’m making a point here about numbers…..

    You don’t need many.

    MALE AND FEMALE

    We have the same reaction to insult and rejection, but it doesn’t interfere with our thinking. Conversely, once females hit puberty and their nervous systems evolve to encompass children (or others or abstractions in the absence of children) it affects women’s thinking. We divide the labor of everything, including the short term (women and the vulnerable) and the long term (men and the tribe).
