colleague mentions to me...that Jeff Bezos wife and some other oligarch wives are supposed to go up into space with his Blue Origin thing. If they survive that trip it means Bezos is an Oligarch in good standing but if they die...that is defenestration in the Putin model.

Not enough dog crap in the world for the Tesla cars in my neighborhood.

I like the shareholder model for business. Private equity is too unfettered. if only there were some way to only do business with companies that have stock or are otherwise receptive to their consumers.

the app keeps saying Manager's challenge.

Economists are starting to worry about a serious Trump recession

Need as much of this as possible. King Donald needs to feel everything he claims to be in charge of.

The joy of blasting on the autobahn in a subsidized American gas guzzler at 120mph listening to Rush's La Villa Strangiato while on my way to a different US base to attend college classes will be a memory that i will cherish for all my days.

This is such a weird episode

What's more Tarik will invest that money in a machine that allows us to clone our favorite pets after they die.

Interesting thing occurred to me. This map reflects the difference between a country in which Russian troops were and where US and British troops were stationed between 1945 and 1989. I often think of the value and knock on effect on the US troops who came out of their rural and urban provincialist upbringings and lived among the strange German society totally different from what they were used. I really hadn't given too much thought to my German friends who also were exposed to the random US cultures. They were into hip hop, heavy metal and liked American sports. They lost their minds for Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Their dads seemed ok to have US servicemembers date their daughters even if there was a bit of an age discrepancy (that actually still blows my mind). Not sure how you fix the gap between that acculturation and whatever the hell happened in East Germany. Stationing troops there isn't really in the long range plan unless Poland is invaded and we need to build up our buffers.
