OWS Has Succeeded!

By -
In convincing New Yorkers that being ruled by Goldman Sachs isn't so bad, after all. At least not if the alternative is these OWS ass hats.

    Just out of curiosity, what specific ass-hats are you referring to? Did you intend to have a hyperlink in the test of your post? If you did, it isn't there.

    Well, the OWS ass hats who were violently trying to prevent my wife from entering her office today.

    Link: I had assumed people would be cognizant of the news from Manhattan today. If you aren't, just check the CNN main page. Now they are planning to shut down the Brooklyn Bridge. I just got across it, to see my kids for the first time in four days. If they had blocked it before I got across, I would have tried to run them over. (That's hyperbole, but I would have gotten out and punched one in the mouth.)

    Ok, I understand.

    Yes, I am aware of the news, but I was not fully aware of your personal experience of what is happening, you being a New Yorker.

    Rule by Goldman Sachs:

    Request a $10 billion preference share investment from the government under Capital Purchase Program, and then repay it in six months to a sum of $11.4 billion.

    Rule by OWS:

    Request your student loans to be written off completely after you have graduated, or threaten and insult policeman if you don't get your way.

    @prateeksanjay: I don't want to defend the asshats in OWS, and I certainly don't want to defend their student loan forgiveness wishes, but ... I think the feds have done a little more for Goldman Sachs than what you've mentioned.

Central Planning Works!

Declares LewRockwell.com:

"All of this means that while the government has been artificially propping up the economy and 'stimulating' it through artificial means, peoples’ perceptions of economic life have been transformed into that which was intended by the central planners: the economic crush is over, our government cured all the problems, things are great again, go back to your old ways. Rinse and repeat."

Fair's fair!

Reader rob smeared me as "weird and out of touch" for noting how intolerant progressives and progressive institutions are today. No, he complains, they are only being "fair"! So let me share three items of interest.

At one large organization where a friend works, two black cafeteria cooks were asked to prepare a special meal in honor of African-American history month. No doubt, they thought back to their own childhood and prepared on meal of ribs, collard greens, and cornbread. A much higher status member of the organization came to the cafeteria and was sorely offended by their "stereotyping." She got them fired. So this highly privileged woman got two much less privileged, minority workers, who were probably supporting families on their low wages, thrown out of work because they had offended her progressive ideology by implying that African-American people ever ate African-American cuisine. Hey, fair's fair!

At another large organization where a fr…

Well, So What?

Various readers have at times dismissed the idea that the pervasive and incessant use of smartphones is really something radically new in human history. David Samuels at Wired knows they are wrong:

"The machines and systems that the techno-monopolists have built are changing us faster than they or we understand. The scale of this change is so vast and systemic that we simple humans can’t do the math—perhaps in part because of the way that incessant smartphone use has affected our ability to pay attention to anything longer than 140 or 280 characters."
