Justin Salhani — Suspected Russian interference in elections around the world is spreading

Another liberal web site jumps the shark. There people just can't face up to the fact that voters in all countries are increasing voting against "liberal" governments that have not served them well and have convinced themselves it is because Putin. In psych it's called being in deep denial. 

As long as they don't face up to the reality of losing because they played a lousy game against a better team, they will never return to power unless the incumbent party screws up royally and voters conclude it is so time for change they will hold their noses and vote the libs back in. The they will screw up because they are economically innumerate.

Again, notice no evidence, no named officials.

When Will Our Electorate Realize That NO-ONE They've Elected Has Any Idea How To Respond To Current Challenges ... & Go Into Distributed Bathrooms To Vomit?

A “Perfectly Legal” Scam is Perfectly Unacceptable to Real Bank Supervisors

When will our Middle Class vomit from the building tension? Hopefully before half-time of the next SuperBowl. At least before they disappear forever.

Fiat forbid the 1st two events coincide this coming year. Plumbing may be down for 40 days and 40 nights, and not even another TARP would cover the stench.

Just remember that we select the people we allow to select our realities for us. Wise up and choose more wisely, before our aggregate throws up more than just it's hands.

The Pink Social Capitalism Elephant In The Room

   (Commentary posted by Roger Erickson)



What is the form of Capital which is most neglected by so-called capitalists? Social Capital? Any scientist would likely say so, based upon even a moment's reflection.

Just bring up the topic of social species. That sets the reference point for all definitions of capital, leverage, adaptive rate, success & survival. Also, google the term, and see all the recent articles professing to define the novel concept for clueless economists.

Ever seen an macroeconomist OD'd on orthodoxy and blissfully unaware of their own BO*, policy agility DT's and ideological sclerosis? Denial is a river in academia and bureaucracy, and it drains into the FED.

Next time you're talking with an economist or avowed capitalists, bring up the delicate subject of the pink Social Capitalism elephant, and ask them if they acknowledge it's presence in the room.

Otherwise, the conversations and literature become increasingly obscure. Take the recent missive from royalty,** that ancient enemy and then co-opter of formal capitalism.

Prince Charles: reform capitalism to save the planet

Does that not seem a bit hypocritical, coming from faux royalty? After 1000 years of seeking protection FROM capitalism? Why not just keep evolving Social Capitalism?

I'm waiting for the proverbial lightbulb to go on for Bonnie Prince Charles. That magic moment when he says: "hey; here's an idea: we need Social Capitalism!"

If he was serious, he'd put his silver spoon back where his nether regions are, abdicate, and return the seized lands, possessions and OTHER forms of capital to the citizenry. And then admit that we simply need dynamic tolerance limits on use of EVERY form of "capitalism" as well as all our other tools.

Until then we have more than just pink Social Capitalism Elephants hiding where the sun don't shine.***

** Tom Paine on royalty:"A French bastard landing with an armed Banditti and establishing himself king of England against the consent of the natives, is in plain terms a very paltry rascally original. It certainly hath no divinity in it. However it is needless to spend much time in exposing the folly of hereditary right; if there are any so weak as to believe it, let them promiscuously worship the Ass and the Lion, and welcome."  [Actually, Tom makes royalty sound remarkably like NeoLiberal capitalism.]
