In this world, however, the nice liberals run pieces like this one on Scheerpost:

Ellen Brown: Rather Than Sink Main Street by Raising Interest Rates, the Fed Could Save It. Here’s How.

It will be called "The Joe Rogan Obsession."

Okay, so today's offering has one distraction and one truth. Let's start with the distraction. This caught my eye:

Bloomberg had a good article about the predicament our economy now faces. Of course it's all about the what's and not about the why's (hint: blame multinational corporations and their single-minded goal of short-term profit above all else).
But the article does have a lot of good graphs.

If there is one constant in the areas of politics and economics, it's that the facts are unwelcome. This is especially true when the conversation turns to capitalism.

It looks like things are resolving and returning me to a more calm existence.

Phew!

One of the charms of the Internet reading of late last week was Harrison Stetler's article in Jacobin, titled "Changing Our Individual Behavior Isn’t Going to Save the Planet." Now, I do not keep track of French politics.
