In re Alligator Ed
Submitted by Alligator Ed on Tue, 03/02/2021 - 12:10pmHello everyone. You may notice that this post is not written in the same colorful prose that you may be used to. That’s because it is not written by Alligator Ed. I am the real-life brother of Alligator Ed who he referred to in several of his posts. I am very sad to say that Ed passed away on Saturday morning February 6. His death was unexpected and shocking although he had some serious health issues. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on Friday evening and died the next morning.

How does one measure a "good" financial bubble versus a "bad" financial bubble?
One way of doing that is to look at individual components, like this one.

Biden's foreign policy is Trump's foreign policy
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 02/28/2021 - 7:08pmThere's been a couple minor changes in foreign policy since Biden took over.
The Paris climate accord is a big example. Biden appears to be less chummy with Saudi Arabia and Israel. And he's less antagonistic against China.
But other than that the machine rolls on.
Today Biden says that we stand with Ukraine and will never recognize the Crimean annex.
Biden continues the useless and pointless policy of sanctioning Russia on everything.
