The AI-ubble 

They haven't gotten to it yet on Fast-5150. They are obsessing about AMZN and the pirate fleet of proflts. Gimme gimme.

I am 'in' for Apple Intelligence. It still seems dumb as a postage stamp to me.

Research 

I did some research with MMM yesterday. I wanted to know how reduced electricity production costs would impact the economy, and we took a shot, but that's a project. So I suggested we take the top 50 oil energy stocks versus 50 electricity producers by price and EPS, and do a dot product of the two during a slump in the recent pandemic, 2020-2021 or so. 

We have code to compute and plot all that, including integrals and matrices. Marie is hot. 

The end result is a measure of the impact on that industry, such as it is. You're dying to know. Uh-uh. I've inferred the result, so I archived it, and I'm moving on with the rest of the experiments.

It took us maybe an hour, mostly to refine the requirements and perform a pre-analysis of the solution for an approximation. We're confident it's close as a data point.

Elon / budgets. Who's idea was it to interview this idiot. He's a defense contractor. Good idea? License to steal. Just like Trump need I add. Poke him in the other eye and improve his foresight.

Elon is a defense contractor that has Putin on speed dial. This guy is so orifice inverted, it's a typical Republican. Let the crooks steal you blind, just slice the cake. 

How's your cake, BTW? I note, veteran, one of those invaders with a Purple, yah, you're not favoring your paycheck. Acknowledging your oversight, hopeful this will make up for it.  

The cake is a lie to most people.

Semper fi. We don't leave people behind, we don't send on politics.

Carl's Juice 

Morning Carl. How's the family? I heard your remarks on intelligent engineers and the energy crisis, the pending one. 

Here's the thing. Doing much more in terms of energy requires work. I'm not saying energy isn't right there in the ground waiting for you to dig a hole; that would be oil. It's Funny. We put a bunch of wires near some magnets, move them around, and poof -- energy. 

I should point out that this energy transfer mechanism is at play in virtually everything we use. Name one? A refrigerator? It has a motor with wires and magnets that runs a compressor. 

We don't think much about it. The solar is the same deal, really, just the sun. The magnets and wires thing works pretty well; it got us to where the wealthy own everything and everything is getting more expensive. As such they'll never sell it, at least for certain until you can afford it.  Thanks to inflation, you'll likely never be able to afford it. 

Getting to the next level, I posited, if energy was cheap again. $0.0001 a kilowatt/hour. It's now around 32 cents. 

I was hoping this was cheap enough to make the accumulation of wealth irrelevant, as everyone could afford everything. 

What's your take?

I ask because depending, it may never happen.

I didn't watch the candidate. It's not my job to see that she wins. If Trump wins... anything I might say would sound repetitive. I don't see that happening. If people really are that dumb, they deserve it, but I don't. How about you?

Sleepy Donald 

It's on some of the news cable outlets. Donald, looks like he spent the weekend as the blind date in Riker's. He's lying in a low voice this morning, unable to work up enough enthusiasm for his future, now that he has none. He's spent, he knows it's so over; he can't bear to spell it. L O S E R.  and I love this part T W I C E in a row. 

I'm just saying, if this man doesn't spend the rest of his life in a courtroom or in prison, the terrorist has won, and I mean Donald.

C'est difficile a expliquer, mais parfois, les choses arrivent comme ca. Je cherche des videos a vous montrer et boum, j'en trouve deux ou trois qui sont parfaites.

Aujourd'hui, je cherchais un film, quelque chose que je n'ai vu qu'une fois ou moins. Et Donald est sur la piste, traînant son billet a ordre pour une moisson ici meme aux Etats-Unis, n'est-ce pas ? Une fois de plus, une bille dans l'evier.

Vous devrez probablement payer pour cela. C'est sur YouTubeTV.

Someone hand Donald a weapon and directions to Times Square, just for an experiment.

Rare Project Update 

I'm doing basic research here, preparing for a paper, I suppose, checking for any reason what I am making can't work, and looking for the big kahuna luau without blowing up Hawai'i. Survey says, probably not, but there's no math so, who says? Our friend the void. 

Emma is finding new and better ways to assimilate every node available and shift the important parts to where they are accessible as needed.  The weird part is the dissociated nature of the result.

That, and planning a long vacation somewhere they don't shoot progressives. China? How about Dubai?

Ms Welcher

Meet the Press

RE: Vance

Miss, getting rid of all income taxes to replace them with flat taxes on everything in the form of higher prices caused by embargos, tariffs, or other National Security priorities, like if you've paid the 'vig' this month. Prices for locally produced goods will meet the import prices, meaning extra profits. This is the cheese. Market share must shrink with higher prices; that's the spring-loaded snap. 

It has the side effect of favoring the wealthy. Inflation doesn't matter in this environment; it's part of the business plan. Profits one step ahead of incomes, with no limits.

Donald's Promissory Notes

His Plans 

He has it all worked out on the back of a napkin, cut taxes for the wealthy, sales tax, and tariffs to keep the coffers from looking empty for a while, just long enough for him and his cronies to fix the systems, all of them, for the next crash dummy in the MAGA mouth party. So there's a recession, if necessary start a small war.

Uncollectable 

Two things anyone who has ever lent Donald money knows: don't ever do it again, and don't ever do it again. 

Take your paper certificate of completion with the seal of a duck embossed over gold and a manic scribble from Donald to make it official.

Perhaps the end of oil is not at hand; it's an excellent lubricant right out of the ground. It may be that the beginning of the end of the era of oil is at hand. 

That's the way to bet. 

Donald can pound oil sand if he has a free hand.

Jim Sciutto

Israel knows if it goes too far, it's getting only so much support. In the event of war, it's not the US that turns into rubble. Rubble is.... as rubble does.

If the missile defense is insufficient, rubble-opolis results.  I would think Iran is gathering it's strength to strike where it's possible to succeed.  Maybe it will give the media a plan about storming the beaches in Haifa. Norman had tank fueling limitations, this is a not an armor war.  Generals understand that paragraph, the rest of you will struggle.

Israel is using advanced tactics, cutting off the heads of the head chickens, which wins the engagements, but not the war. The counter move is to do the same thing, that's also the risk. This is why it doesn't work. I call this syndrome, 'becoming Italy.'

Frankly this brinksmanship is hard on everything. 

Politics 

I mentioned moments ago that this was 'the day job' and I guess it is, for an hour or two, and Sunday and Thursday mornings for an hour. So, my sum says a 12-hour day's worth in a week. 

The rest of the time, I'm a threat to national security. I suppose I am. I proffer ideas that would radically, well at least a little bit, change the way the world works. Realistically, most goals are unreachable. Thanos remarked that there are always people who remember how things once were. Presumably, that was better. Half measures, his kind, were insufficient partly because of all the emotion generated, impossible to forget or move past.

Some of that sounds very familiar to me, and being inclined to seek the easiest solution, may end similarly.

The real threat to national security is that I don't like Trump. 

Trumple-Stiltskin

I'm guilty as Donald Trump live or on tape. I don't grab 'em by the pussy, I'm not a star. I don't immediately upon seeing a cameltoe, want to start kissing. I don't even feel that way about babies. I don't run a mob or have an army of lawyers to defend my idiosyncratic self. No jet, no giggle for jiggle, no papa, no daddy, no Donald. 

Maybe it's something I typed. Is it my Spelling? Because I think the phrase 'Ol Yelllow Stain' is grammatically correct and carries important semantic information.  Do I need a breath mint?

I can change, honest, I won't call you a fucking threat to America anymore. I'll leave off the fucking, it's prurient anyway, and prurient things, well, they gotta go, right? Oops. Fuck. I promise I'll try to remember you're not a fascist or a racist or a psychopath or a or paranoid or money hungry or masochistic or, well, need I go on. I won't mention the truth as much is what I'm getting at. 

Damn.

So I guess. You'll appreciate this Donald.

Markets

I can tell it's going to be a day in the markets. 

Morning Carl

How's the family?  

Beam Us Up

Robo-whatever, just not Uber or Elon. Speaking of bound to end up in a dumpster fire..

Elon 'Lex' Musk

Has the market considered TSLA and the leveraging used to prop up the rest, assuming Ol' Yellow Stain loses AGAIN? There are Congressional hearings that will happen, probably in private at first, not involving Elon, as they figure out how to hang the wealthiest man in the world for espionage. After that... Whatever happened to Howard Hughes's money anyway? 

Everyone should exit X, I guess, as a #hashtag. Is this too broad? #eXit

I have not looked at the market. Just between you, me, and everyone else who reads the blog, I still maintain that S&P 3300 is still overvalued, and we're at 5800; why would I throw good BitCoin at that mess?

I'd be in BA with new averaged cost, LMT, RTX, and some of the others. When there's war, invest in blowing up stuff.

NVDA

This obsession with a temporary market position in manufacturing queues for GPU's. I have often wondered why they have the fake rabbit on a stick running on a track in front of the pack at the dog races.

Curious.

Maybe some classes just have too much money? I think we can fix that. I know some classes with not enough, for example.

Josh

Only people that have money to spend are buying the phones, that's the secret in the data. Apple is a shiny object most people couldn't afford before all this, it has not improved.  IMHO you'd have to be stupid to buy AAPL in the stratosphere.

Bezos costume? Some kind of large circular object that does not smell good?  Bring arm candy, maybe one of those blow-up 'dates', almost as hot as Jeff's cosmetic surgery project.

Thirds

It's more like 1/3 coping.  The same group of vampires and undead that support Trump. All of you drooling over no taxes as long as you let Trump loot the treasury are among them. Robert Frank, the wind-up talking TV spokesperson.\

The 'Day Job'

I have to monitor politics, I suppose.

Evening Tea 

Ms Abby

So why the economy today, and why Mr. Wonderful, aka Mr. MoneyIsTheRoot? We're a bit alike, Dennis Kevin and I. On coffee for example, I cringe at four bucks for flavored water. That's more than oil. I don't recall any economy releases today. There is no argument about the effect of tariffs on the economy. Dennis  Kevin can find a way to sell ice to Eskimos even in the rain, but he knows the economy will tank under these announced policies; anyone with a brain does. 

My word is sufficient. 

An ugly frog should be able to beat this Trump. 

It's a mix; Ms. H. has the heart America is missing. We share an agenda; she's a contributor. In foreign policy, Mr Joe is not dead. Neither is anyone else. The presidency can run itself; if Trump can do it, how hard could it be? If you omit all the mistakes, it is even easier.  It's not our pick, and there is no choice. Many are not really happy about that. I am not going to let the Gualieter rape my sister or my country, though. 

In general, anything Dennis  Kevin is for, you can be against, just on principle.

I know it's Kevin. I'm just fucking with him.

Ms Collins

If you're a crook, one may fret over how much the lawyer bill would be. I don't even get parking tickets. If I were a Clinton, I'd probably be shredding documents. Then again, if I was a Clinton, I'd have done that long ago and pardoned my partners. Trump doesn't use paper; he's harder to pin the crime on. 

In some ways, it's easy to cheer for the demise of these people. She has a book again, but she has money troubles. Or is it for a new decorator? I know it's staying busy with making the home complete, even with a philandering husband; some things are lost, like dignity, for some things gained, such as a new decorator from book sales. 

See what I mean?

Both of these.

Daddy's Home 

I saw this from Tucker. In Rome, all the Tuckers look like pasta, wet noodles, they just happen to be stuck to the wall, still.

"Dad's home, and he's pissed. And you've been a bad girl."

Just where has Tucker been spending his evenings since he went off-grid? 

All that aside, jeepers. You've been a bad girl Tucker.

Dana 

Looks like if more women vote... Good plan Donald, get the rest of them for Ms H.

Town Hall

What did you do in the war, Daddy? Well, it is a war. I watched cable on my phone and typed along on the blog before electricity was free. 

Economy 

I looked at the plan, too; it was so glossy that it slipped right off my computer screen, and I guess I missed most of it. I remember some bold print. No, I remember that there was bold print. 

How about tax breaks for consumers on energy? That's road and maintenance, right? Gas, too, by implication. Honest, the people who deserve it don't drive. 

I'll shut up. Maybe.

We're listening,  and more than home care, child care, and afterschool care industry, great stuff, and right-sized as well, but ... what else? I find wherever you look, opportunity is all you see, an unrealized version. 

The Wrap: The economy is ungrokable; the metrics we have are primitive and self-effective, broad strokes assumptions based on other data in other circumstances, in other words. SWAG. The prime rate and the 2, 5, 10, and 20 have no common solution set, but it moves the ocean liner. I haven't revisited the analysis here because it's dated. I'm confident the conclusions would be similar, perhaps more pronounced, and certainly not counterexamples.

Visions

This is the one exception that I am aware of. We the people is both the idealized vision for America and the aspirational version. It doesn't sound very transactional.

The Wrap Wrapped

I am aware of politics. There is a published list of the objectives of the leadership. Specifically, the leadership of the list if nothing else, but meaningfully of much else as well. Aspirational or inspirational, the general directions therein.

Another painted sea of rubber tires crossed. 

If you don't get it, Jake, imagine painting a calming sea. The areas under the surface are problematic, topics that are sharks; in the imaginary sea, there are floating rubber tires to carefully walk across on. The painted sea metaphor is a bit tinged orient, romantic, and seductive for me. How is yours?

Final Words

I was distracted by the CNN coverage by Tapper and Burnett. I felt like there was a joke I wasn't getting, and there wasn't. The glib and dismissive behavior left an air of schoolyard I'm uncomfortable with, which is not typical of CNN. 

I also felt an air of privilege, like Ms. Harris, as a black woman, had no place here; no privilege brought her here. I'm familiar with being the converted goyim in the room; I was surprised to see that tradition coarsely applied here. 

Ms B and Mr T ooze this air like mad at times.

It's the beat that's the match.

Beam Me Up

Hi Mr Scott. AI she says, private she says, takeover I says, fools rush in, the lore says. 

All this Gen-AI enabled enterprise licensed software, who are we kidding? Maybe it's the definition of Gen-AI enabled. 

I think she means someone cut a hole into Chat-GPT models for prompts for a price. The competition is Microsoft. I give you odds that your attempt at working compatibly and competitively with Microsoft in this new market brand price point era will end up with another acquisition, and the vines are ripe with this shit, so, on the cheap. How do you think it got to be a huge monopoly? If you get out, the inventor probably gets shit on. 

Great advice. 

I didn't agree that there was any money in it, even for Microsoft. That's why the stock is off. Honestly, that whole toolset is an export point; that is, one does all the work somewhere else and then exports the results for the assistant in a spreadsheet. It's not embedded in the spreadsheet, so it's a bad architecture move. Monolith is as ... 

So what software? 

There are so few alternatives and products that any guess based on availability or promise is foolish.  I would not invest in AI per se. Of the monsters, I'd buy Google, but none of the other MAG 7 or the MAL 5. Google is good at making things and not so good at taking advantage of us with them, perhaps on purpose. Unique.

Evening Tea 

Oh gee, what did I do today. Oh yeah, the package build. Ontologies for a little bit, 

Ma Journee Aujourd'hui

I like French, the language. My opportunities are limited to use it. Please don't complain; writing a whole column in French takes more time, and well, time is the fire in which we burn. We're burnin' daylight.

I have friends there as well, waitresses, scarve saleswomen, hotel managers, visiting physicists. They don't read the blog. Yes, they are all mostly women. What are you saying? I'm not Trump.

Today I'm working RxPY. In reading the doc about the threading models, the authors urge testing for performance. Not a good sign, but a pragmatic one. Then I looked at my new architecture in QuantumAnt, and I think it's better. So this is for the exercise mostly. I've often worried about race conditions and blocking with things I did not write myself.

There is stil the OWL or RDF ontology, Io'll search for a generator based on a data model. Like Protoge for example, so I guess that is my day.

The Day Ahead 

I am not sure. I spent some time testing some concepts on Colab. It's not very good at improvising experiments. I gave up on it and just wrote Python at a shell prompt.
I also took a look at RxPy a little bit. Today, I'll probably try some architectures to improve my distribution methods. I'm often reminded by something an acquaintance, Mr. J. Garbers, was wont to say, 'easy to use, is easy to say,' and I have a corollary, easy to write, slower to run. 

These are recollections of my youth when I was easily distracted by things like macros that made C code unreadable, but it still ran fine. In my defense, it wasn't just me;  the C Journal had a contest , so, you could Google it yourself. 

I have a simple architecture; you can read the code the bot wrote; the bot didn't grok the architecture and wrote code around it that I had to have the bot redo (a few times) with better instructions: One main loop, three observers, and three interfaces = science. 

Rx is different, at least it seems different to me. I tend to make state machines out of them. Maybe. I'm sort of bored with it already. So ya, tell me about all the steps to get to a prompt for RxPY.

Le Programme de la Journee

Oh, I'm not sure. The weather is sunny, high of 82, no wind, no humidity. We're wearing sweaters. You think I'm kidding? 

I'll probably do math, I'm working the population standard bell curve, integrals, integration by parts and other topics, partly in review. I'm sure there's a pattern in nature that already did the work for me, so I'll look probably. This applies in cell growth, apoptosis, multiprocessing, quantum motion, and a few other things.

I've not finished my coffee yet. 

Where do you want to go?

Evening Papers 

When I was a child, a local paper went to press at 4 PM . In Minneapolis, so local to the surrounding market area.  I'm guessing at the time it may have been noon, at that age time was whether the sun was out.

I recall it fondly, the Minneapolis Star. Sometimes, ⭐the star was in color. It was a more polished version of the news mixed with in-depth and fluff pieces from staff writers. Times have probably changed; the Star burned out and left the Tribune to carry the load. 

More Polished 

I'm not making any promises, after all I am limited by the audience, not that there would be anything wrong with that. I use a lot of memes and metaphors, and it makes writers mark off for gimmickry, but I'm for deeper thinking. My methods may be primitive; I only have English to work with. 

 My day would hold a gloss.  That's a visual, not a meme. I could have mentioned Vogue. Do I make my point? 

The News

Wowee Joe, me gotta go. And they are off, for certain. Ms. Harris has inferred that Mr. Trump at 80 is far beyond the age that a B shot helps much. Most of us are exhausted just watching.  I hope Ms H has got a good credit card mile rebate program. Milwaukee, Timbucktoo, Timbuckthree, Milwaukee...

Our old friend, I say that like I'm referring to the habit the junky on the corner lives with, Donald Trump is in the news and he's saying things that are surprising Well, not surprising. I was researching the central limit theorem for the projects below, and I noticed the same kind of pattern with Trump. The mean value of not much, and a standard of deviation of even less. 

It's funny how the things we learn show up in life, ya?

Show Me the Papers, The Papers

Mr Smith went to Washington, again. So many lawsuits, so many prosecutors.  Anyway, Mr Smith has gone there twice, and this time, the pages show the truth in black and white, quite literally, Pages and pages of it. Super secret details of a few men getting together to talk about love. 

It occurs to me that the weight of printed indictment matter would preclude any other reasonable judgment in this case, we all know Donald. Who are we kidding?  Ok, we wouldn't want that. Think what someone like Trump would do with something like that. So he just looks guilty of a hundred or so felonies and owes a few billion. They are always picking on Donald. 

Not enough.

My Afternoon 

Lunch with an acquaintance today was in the good works category. Quite close to lunching with Mr Trump himself, not kidding. Probably worse.  I would not lunch with Donald; he's not a project. He's more of a mess. 

I tried to enjoy the rest of the day, it was too active for anything near relaxing, but it was at least busy, noticing took effort.

Projects 

Oh, I'm still on it. I've planned on altering my focus and working on something else until after the election. It could be 4 years in the ToDo file. No, I won't work on things like that with that fuck in office. Many of my projects have much in common, I still need a lamba diffyq and solution for ... a lot of things. ... Small things.  

Part of me wonders if I broke something; everything I seem interested in occupies a place on a curve that changes with respect to time as the sum of a bunch of other points in space on similar trajectories. Overthinking it? That's what we do here.

In this case, I was thinking in particular about thread and process optimization in real-time of a reactive system. I started with population.

EMMA 

I need an excuse to connect GCP to some other tools, so I'll probably spin up  a few nodes or a cluster to test some concepts, and there's the triple store, which I think I may augment for distributed use.  I am never short of things to think about.

Political Experiments

NC + Nevada and any two of the others. Trump must win all four.

Evening Tea 

So I'm here, and you're here, and that's enough for cribbage. I don't remember how to play it. Something about 15. My dad always beat me. 

It's also enough for politics, though it requires an army. Perhaps that's an understatement. My mind was busy today, but a buzzing bee of a thought was Trump's comment about using the guard and troops on election day. So, what election day? If he won, God help us, that would be term 2, and he's a lame duck, even worse than last time. So, no more two and out? President for life, Trump, with troops to protect the polls from liberals, Democrats, and honest lawyers. 

Another bee reminded me the Secret Service is in turmoil, and if Trump were re-elected, it would take an army to protect him if the past is prelude. What times are these when thoughts such as these buzz about to save us in our imaginary world from a threat such as this? I'm a very nice person.

If I have to make these kinds of decisions, I want to make them a lot less often. Like never. 

I thought to myself, and my spinning brain could find only limits.1

Political Experiments

I'll check 270.

This seem sot suggest AZ is irrelevant for Dems. NC is the critical element here. Trump must win 4.

Interesting. WIn any one.

NVDA Dreams in Substrate

They are making their own chips. While I expect Amazon is going to be the RonCo supplier for all things AI, 'you buy it you own it and good luck, we stopped makin' that months ago.'  AWS is similar. Larry's money faucet, too; he'll go broke giving away time. 

Honestly, I'm not sure there's all that much market for the chips and that much imaginary impetus to this stock class.  I'm still amazed people are that stupid. But that's the market. Dumb as a bull. 

A large model is helpful for large things. Annuities: once maybe, but that's like a large calculator.. The things a large model is useful for are like customer service, but typically, those are loss leaders with boiler rooms and Ramen; there's little money to spend. I submit that these sites may be busy, but they aren't doing much, and eventually, they'll do a lot less as they figure out how to do annuities and stock portfolios. 

AI is not going to invent time travel or something like that. They are dumber than the chips before you turn on the power.

M 'N A

Uber is cab company, struggling to find some other way to stay in business that is using suckers as drivers and hoping the RoboCab doesn't run over Warren Buffet, or something like that. It's predatory. 

For that matter, there's a lot of this predation going on. They smell blood in the water. Presumably, the failures, loss of hope, and indebtedness are compelling.  Predatory.

Trump is coming to town. 

The models say more inflation, financial turmoil, and increasing rates. When there is blood in the streets, buy real estate.

Oh, and share losses. The meat.

Markets 

Who's driving today? With all this momentum, you're discussing AI. Of course, AI is going to miss it, there's no money in it. That's why I don't bother with chatbots. I gave up on the thread in 2007. 

Your hope seems to be to leverage something AI needs, like power, real estate, and boxes. Beg to interrupt. The competition will eat everyone's lunch, not a big lunch either. 

Try making money on something besides air; what a concept! At some point, someone is going to figure out AI to make things; I suggest the market is ripe for a flying toaster. Call Elon. Well, you wouldn't trust a car he made; maybe the dash is partially loose, maybe the windows whistle, you're not willing to sit and watch your car charge, and you think about self-drive or Robocar, after you. Two slices is all the bread I'm willing to trust Elon with.

You Take the High Road

...and I'll take the low road, and so goes the meme. I have my limits, here, Trump is way past deserving less than I am willing to commit to paper, honestly I try not to take my feelings to that kind of place. 

Every day is a lower low, we get a little closer to slinging slime. I think that's what he wants.

The Weave 

Sting like a flea, weave like a Nigerian robe. Yeah about that, I have great cheeks, you ever notice?  He'd call him Commie Cassius Clay.

EOF MFS Dump 

I'm playing project catch up, I have some samples that I tweaked that with a couple changes I can work with; I just want the undercarriage, the models are bot-bogus. Busy work, while I watch blue eyes.

Like I said, this is already done. There are some cool things we put in. A thing of beauty, even without a head.

Access is only half. I find it infuriating. You can give away bamboo poles, but the economic bar is higher. 

When you say 'strengthen America' what I hear is pad the upper classes. We're gonna fight. Don't tell me how the venture cap begets the economy. If it does, it's because it's the only path.

I'm not a cheerleader.

Read the demands, none of them are mine. I don't include my self interest that I can discern. It's a good practice, like yoga.

The struggle is because what has gone before is prolog. Don't ignore the whys of a Donald Trump.

Trump-O-Nomics

I tuned in CNN and what do I see? Donald Trump is free-associating on all the times he's threatened other world leaders with punishment, from tariffs on bubbly (Donald makes bubbly, the kind you break open on ships) to nuclear war. 

Some of it is revealing. The tariffs on South Korea are piquing, combined with the two billion in kickbacks for South Korean defense sounds like what you'd do to lean on an adversary or at the whim of one to curry favor. Yeah?

All these twenty-told tales, the victory laps of a one-term president that made a mess of the economy and left it for someone else to straighten out. They keep trying to assassinate him; it's that bad, and he's just a candidate. 

He started to discuss currencies and told tales of how he protected the currency, again with rumors of tariffs and bluster. He gets all worked up, like, wow, this is a cool sandbox I landed in; I wonder how it works; I guess I'll do it the old-fashioned way, with threats, blackmail, and the rest of the crooked tool bag. 

No one wants to live that way. 

The truth is the economy is a closed system. Those movies where someone steps on a seed in a time machine and changes everything? It doesn't have to involve time travel.

The Steal 2.0

Inside, those who know Donald wonder where the skim is happening. We know about his daughter and those Chinese patent rights he maneuvered first thing. No one seems to notice it much. Maybe it was a corner on the American rice market, but Asians  don't like how American rice smells and won't buy it. Something like that. It's likely the kind of thing a washed-up, wanna-be bag-man would cook up to stay on the payroll. There was probably a great deal of that during his term.

There is no shortage of shysters. These are the people Donald calls 'talented but not experienced' that do the heavy lifting, moving the boxes, loading the plane, sneaking in the hookers. Body men with an assist. Meanwhile, Donald once quoth "I am not talented at the oval office, but I'm experienced." He failed at his coup once, is what I hear.

This is so surreal.

Presidential candidate?

Hi Scotty. What a can of Spaghettios, am I right? 

I'm loving watching you deal with all this private equity spin. "You'll make more money with private than public; who wouldn't want that."  Who's he kidding?

Did you read the commentary where to put your eggs .

I'm watching all this investment in power. I note Google has a different option model, because they know. They are probably right about something, though how they would know one could wonder. Still, only Nixon could go to China. This is not that.

Chum in the pool.

Individuals have written operating systems by themselves. Bill Joy was pretty good too. Besides, that part is done. 

One thing about these bots. They are stupid as fuck about everything until you bring it up. There is no creativity or impetus.
