on the evolution of products and production.

i know i've been on this rant for awhile now, but here's a tidbit: producers are the new musical artists, and all your beloved pop artists are just curators (some better, some worse). if you're into a song, forget the artist. find out who produced it, and then go find more. i've been doing it on the reg, and so far so fancy.

more more stimulus continued.

so mayhaps you remember my post about throwing fed credibility and caution to the wind in favor of radical new stimulus measures.

i just came across a richmond fed publication, "would a little inflation produce a bigger recovery?" it's an awesome pros and cons analysis of the idea. i dig it and you should too. kthxbai.

still.

i ♥ diplo so hard.

paid vacation.

i wonder how people that support/supported guantanamo and enhanced interrogation and indefinite military detention rationalize stuff like this...

i suppose it's not a coincidence that i don't know anyone that fits that description, so it's not like i can ask. i would imagine they'd call it something like collateral damage.

and then of course there's title x subtitle d of the national defense authorization act.

it's all just... strange. embarrassing even.
