@93octane I was kind of a believer before I started watching “King Corn.” I’m already aware of the absurd # of items w/HFCS in them.
@SisterSafetyPin DemocracyNow.org is the home to one of the best places for news IMO. Hippy-liberal lean, but more in depth than anyone else
On the advice of Kestracherr at Kwippy.com I checked out “King Corn” last night. Great docu on how corn harms ourselves & our economy.
@Jazzybam Awesome–thanks, man! I just might do that. :)
@alfabettezoupe Personally, I don’t like a culture of debt. My opinion is more nuanced but, can’t avoid glibness in a Twitter post. Sorry :(
@alfabettezoupe I hear you & agree, but if the system is broken, I think we need to fix it, not prop it up until it breaks again.
@RickCaffeinated Haha, you could be onto something! Though I bet there will be some serious ripples us normal folks will deal with.
@Herbwoman Wall Street has limits? They don’t seem to be aware of any. Though, I’m with you on not panicking. is.gd/3i0y
@Jazzybam That is a great pic, man–it’s like you’re plotting to go down to the pub and beat the crap out of those Manchester blokes. :D
@SisterSafetyPin Do you watch/listen to/read DemocracyNow.org at all? They had a whole chunk of their show this morning on FDR. Good stuff!
@alfabettezoupe Haha, good point. Though, I think us all being screwed has long been a given with a national debt of approx $10 trillion. :\
@stevegm Ahhh, I see–that’s a good point. Another example of how they aren’t able to follow their own rules. Thanks for the info.
@93octane thanks for the add back! Was enjoying your discussion with @lesliecarbone –appreciate aspects of both your arguments. :)
@transitenator I don’t like government that is all sound and fury but signifies nothing. You’re in Austria, right? You guys are on the euro?
@transitenator Ah, I see–that’s good. I like it when government has a purpose and performs it.
@fredericguarino I believe C-SPAN.org streams. You won’t be overtly told what to think while watching, but hey, it’s still streaming news :)
But, @petersantilli , we’re babies! We don’t want to have to live with the consequences of breaking the rules we helped make! WAAAA! Bottle?
I am reminded of 2 chants I heard down on Wall Street last Thursday: “You break it! You bought it!” and “You fucked it up, now suck it up!”
@stevegm why is opening more credit so important? There’s a lot of talk re: not lending=bad. I feel that too much lending=bad.
Also puzzled by some folks’ reasons for being against bailout. Guess I should just be happy so many are against it at all.
