The U.S. Justice System-It's The Best Of Times, It's The Worst Of Times
2 years ago

You have to give the Justice Department some credit for doing something that has never been done before--that is, proving that "no one is above the law".  And it is time we put that concept to the "extreme" test.

Democracy, Monarchy, Or Dictatorship-It's Your Choice
2 years ago

Not if you vote for "El Trumpo".  You cannot say you support democracy and say you support Trump at the same time--that is what they call a dichotomy. 

ps. what is that you don't like about Biden.  Is it his stance fthor "freedom" against the like of Putin and Jinping?  Or is it that he is bringing the semi-conductor industry back to the US?  Or is it because you don't think our "infrasture" needs work?  Or is it because Biden believes a woman should have free choice about her own body?  Or is it because you think he is just too old to accomplish all off those things?  What is it?

More On Benevolent Dictators

I agree, but a "benevolent dictator" is far, far better than a "dictator"--at least as far as the "people" are concerned.

Retirement
2 years ago

There have been a lot of ups and downs in the period i show, including the effects of the pandemic and inflation.  Last year, we went from about a 179K IRA to a 131K IRA because of those things.  But that was somewhat expected.  Although i was hoping last year it wouldn't drop below 140K.  But so far this year, even after already withdrawing about 5-6K, my IRA is up from the $131K start to now where it is at $152K.

The world's economy is pretty good and the U.S. economy is what drives the world's economy.

The thing about the "boonies" is that you are not tempted as much to spend your savings.  You have to find non-costly ways to enjoy life--such as, going for walks, swimming, gardening the yard with only plants on sale, etc.  But one can live pretty well out here in the boonies on a fair budget.  It simply comes down to how, when, and if you want to retire.

In These Times
2 years ago

I agree, knowing  however, that some people are moving ahead just the same.  Not only should El Trumpo go to jail for what he did--he needs to share a bunk with bubba.  There is nothing to like about someone who plays "hide and seek" with nuclear codes and the like.

A Bit Frustrated

I'll check back day to day to see if there is any change.  i am not tuned into a Forbes chat group.  At this point it is more for a curiosity point than an analytical one for me.  The general percentages by nation are already somewhat known.

No Loose Ends
2 years ago

As you can imagine, i have continued to think on how best to sell "globanomics" (to anyone and everyone) and i have come to one conclusion:  It's in the "logic" and "mathematics" of globanomics, not to mean downplaying the inclusion of the National Hierarchy of Needs and the other major principles.

Xi jinping could understand the "logic".  The question is whether he sees any long term benefit in supporting it.  That's when the discussions really begin.

But just the same, globanomics is the "optimal" way to go.

ps.  that reminds me that i need to write something more about Benevolent Dictators and how you need to deal with them (because in some cases it makes sense for a country to operate with a "benevolent dictator" rather through more "democratic" means.  Both forms of governments are valid within the framework of globanomics.  What globanomics doesn't want is: Benevolent Dictators who think his/her needs are more important than his country's needs.  Those are the one's the world needs to squash.
