Economy Thread
Good numbers. But even the WSJ showed a chart yesterday. Since 1980, GDP is up about 150%. For the top 10%, its about 200%. For the remaining 90%, up about 40%, over almost 40 years. This is for the US. With these kinds of distributional effects it is not surprising to hear claims that the system is failing US society as a whole. Yes, capitalism is the system to provide the most prosperity overall for the most people. But the version we have know is open to legitimate critique.

The Guitar Pron Thread
Thanks BAV for this shopping interlude. You will love your Taylor. I'm intrigued with that size vs my 714CE. But my takeaway from this is that I gotta have that J200.

Anyone Kept Their Credit Frozen?
About 5 years now. The experian bill is now up to $50 a month for the two of us, so at some point the risk vs cost will become a thought. In the meantime I have not missed monitoring our credit reports But we don't need new credit. Might do a refi someday and its ez to unwind the freeze.

Congrats Garrett Gilbert - Signed as backup QB for Cleveland Browns
Strange trip from his disaster at UT. Congrats. But, even with Orlando, his immobility and tendency to hold on to the ball too long are working against him in the NFL.

GEORGIA CAN SUCK MY DICK
Talking with a fishing buddy yesterday: his son in law is the new offensive coordinator for Georgia Tech, coming in from Temple with the HC. He was talking about the GT-Temple matchup next season and possibly going to it. I replied with the LSU at UT matchup, in light of the handling of Georgia. He says Georgia mailed it in. I really had to choke back the shit talk - our wives were right there. The SEC suckfest is more widespread than I had imagined.

Buttigieg 2020
In other words, they see as equivalent things that may or may not help (federal solutions, identity stuff), and things that are already abject moral crimes (Christian hegemony, minority targeting, military gluttony, war on drugs, etc.). In fact they are resolved to tolerate the latter, but will, in the end, work against the former as they may impinge on their comfort.

The Robert Mueller Investigation
Well, based on, say, third grade arithmetic, when the recovery gets to be about 15 years old, and if Trump is still president, then it will be the mostly Trump recovery/economy. No need to "watch".

Donald Trump 2019
Ha. Reminds me of that little gem of a book from a couple of years ago "Asshole, A Theory". Alas, there is nothing to be done with one.

I'm coming around to strongly supporting the Electoral Collegelec
TH I have considered the why's and wherefores. My point is that the thinking in 1787-9 was not perfect, and could not anticipate the situation we have now. They were trying to protect a geographic minority from the tyranny of the majority. What we have now is quite different, unforseen in the underlying debate records. And the country, the nation, is those of us now living, responsible for now and the future. The fact is the minority in question will veto any dilution of their power until hell freezes over, and keeping hold on power is the only logic operating. I don't find that logic convincing, and don't find the founding logic to be pertinent to today's problem. Finally, your suggestion that any view not structured like you own is not honest, is, well, regrettable.

The issue is how well, or poorly the system is working now and for the forseeable future. The instutionalized veto power and half the time hegemony of a permanent minority is hardly a defensible model. It pisses on the dignity of a majority of the country, and protects no enumerable rights or otherwise of the minority. Just power.
