The Thing about Getting Old: part III


Current events still piss you off but matter less, so you start making art that is more abstract, more personal and less legible.


Old people are selfish.


The Thing about Getting Old: part II


I've made uncompromising choices based on perceived knowledge at the time I made them that have brought me to "the now".  I don't particularly like the now, but I enjoyed the journey.

The worst of both worlds: trump follows bernie's advice on Carrier deal


A while back I hoped that fate would spare us from having either a president Trump or a Sanders:

two bad worlds

Well it seems like fate has given America both of them with Trump following Bernie's suggestion on the Carrier deal.

Yay.

Commie Capitalism

In the report I link to above, the reporter points out that the way Trump bullied Carrier into keeping some jobs in the US is no different than the sort of things France does.  Hell, I love France, but if we are going to run our incentives as they do over there, we better be prepared to accept 24% youth ("youtt" in New York-ese) unemployment.
