  1. Elon is an Aspie. His neuro-diverse lens is an asset and a curse. He says the quiet part out loud. He is better grounded in the nuance of humanity when he has an intuitive and empathetic sounding board. The interdependence of China and Musk remains a work in progress. There is a narrow path he must walk to make it work. The odds are against him. ~ Musings from the Piedmont
  2. "The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government. This is the contempt in which they hold the majority of American people and the political process: the common people are easily led fools, and everyone else who is smart enough to know better has their price. And they would beggar every middle class voter in the US before they will voluntarily give up one dime of their ill gotten gains." Simon Johnson, The Quiet Coup, 2009.
  3. Fed observations/ciphering: QE 4 ended March 2022 ($6 trillion total in MBS and treasury purchases). QT (quantitative tightening via liquidity drain) begins June 2022 ($47.5 billion per month) for 3 months then $95 billion per month starting September 2022 and ongoing. QE 5 remains a Fed option should conditions warrant. Good luck.
  4. I am in the Clemson area now - near Asheville. This region is growing and getting bluer, but we are still blueberries in a raspberry soup. NC 11 has produced Mark Meadows and Cawthorn. The red voters deserve to be shamed and ridiculed for their negative contribution to the American Experiment. I will be volunteering for the Democratic nominee to turn NC 11 blue. I am hoping it is Jasmine Beach-Ferrara. https://www.jasmineforcongress.com
  5. I am not sure Alito is correct in his assumption that abortion was not a traditionally accepted custom. The Bible in Numbers speaks about β€œbitters” to test unfaithful wives. Moreover, abortion was regularly practiced throughout history. Here is a good read on the subject - and a resource for those of you who intend to aid in the protection of the right to privacy. https://www.ineteconomics.org/perspectives/blog/abortion-drugs-fundamental-to-ancient-economies-argues-historian

  9. Foreign Affairs has an excellent primer on Putin’s war on the thousand year history of Russian-Ukraine relations (tldr-Putin lies). https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2022-04-06/putins-war-history-ukraine-russia (free with registration) excerpt - And for anyone attempting to understand the Russian mind, I highly recommend Mother (1906) by Maxim Gorky.
