I think they are fairly recent.  I wrote Globanomics in the fall of 2021 and i took the numbers as i looked them up on the CIA's World Factbook, which is easily accessable from the internet.  

I assume the CIA gets their numbers through the various embassies.  Figures like GDP, average age, i assume lag a year or two or three, but not much.

It's rather difficult to replace an "optimal" theory with a "sub-optimal" theory  because sooner or later the "optimal" theory will win out.

I went to the same college that Pence did.  He is known on campus to be a pretty "straight guy".  He even turned his own "fraternity brothers" into the school for "drinking".  He's quite a man.

His stand on abortion is something else that also truly makes him a "man"--one that thinks he has the god-given right to tell women how they should treat there bodies.

I don't think so.  First of all, Talkmarkets does not let me write any articles any more.  They thought i had been a "bad boy" and Talkmarkets took that ability away from me.

Sorry, to say, but my visibility remains you and a few "less than fifteen" other dedicated followers of my "meaningless blogging".

Some people think that my "globanomics" is too controversial--that's the only conclusion that i have been able to come up with.

ps.  I am glad to see that you are still hanging in there.

ps1.  i have found an ocassional blog or two of mine on the internet, but not many, because it usually takes a little up front explanation, and tagging the article with "key words".  And i only bothered with that a long time ago.

There is nothing wrong for "non-full time Foxers" to sue--because like me, i didn't watch them all the time, but i did have to go to them to try to understand what the other 50% of the people understood.

And that put the fear of God into me, and totally disrupted my entire way of thinking about America and the World.  And now i find out that Fox was lying to me every time i checked in.  Do you know what kind of damage that did to my soul?  Fox cannot pay me enough to get that back.

I could possibly learn to forgive, but not if they continue on, like nothing has changed.  I would give Rupert one more f------ day to come out and make his statement; otherwise i would go after the bastard.

Every time Powell speaks the markets go down because Powell believes in keeping interest rates as high as he possibly can.  It's part of the old Federal Reserve playbook.  Mortgage rates above 7.0%--credit card rates above 20%.  Sometimes i think Jerome and Sydney must be brother and sister.

Don't count on inflation coming down because of the Federal Reserve.  Inflation will come down when the effects of Putin's War and the lingering effects of the pandemic are no longer with us.  Powell will claim the Federal Reserve conquered inflation when they had nothing to do with it--going up or going down.

Thank you.  I agree with your perspective.  I do like to write because it makes me think--right or wrong, but hopefully based upon experience, logic, and goodwill.

I gained that sense, too.

It was a complete "mental error" with a lot of laziness applied.  I actually did give thought to looking up the spelling, but i did not, which disgusts me a little with myself--especially since it was a "title" mistake.  I'll try to do better in the future--if there is a future.

Yes, but many do not like the "rest of the world".  And that is something that could be learned.  It's really not that difficult if you think upon things for more than a minute.
