Elon Musk wants to emulate what Milton Friedman talked about in an interview, where he would gut most of the government institutions, but the ideas presented are pretty much the same results that the GE CEO Jack Welch (which he jump ship just in time to put the blame on his successor, even though he was probably just the kind of ass kisser the company was left with after the environment became toxic for anyone that had half a brain cell.)



The Origin Of 'The World's Dumbest Idea': Milton Friedman

I was sort of glossing over Milton Friedman and wasn't sure to what extent he should be admired or hated, but I started to recognize how similar he is to the most destructive leadership in our country/world, and in many ways, he is the precursor to people like Jack Welch.

Hint: The legacy of sub-prime mortgages and Reaganomics (and further back, you could say that fiat currency under Nixon was a terrible legacy) screwed over Keynes and his warning of unregulated conscious awareness as such with the Glass-Steagall act, and is much of the primacy to "success" that is so often the same problem facing how people glorify wealth and destructive narcissistic behaviors as seen today.

Short-term profits and long-term consequences — did Jack Welch break capitalism?


And once they are long gone they no longer seem to be recognized for the short-term myopic turds that they are unless people are forced to look in the rear-view mirror.

This was produced but directed by a different Director than the original Night of the Living Dead (which is truly a classic in it's own right,) though might be closer to the original than I actually recall. It seems like it might be somewhat better than the newer versions of other Romero movies.


I was just looking at it spontaneously, but it turns out the actor, Tony Todd, that plays "the black guy" (that in the original movie looks similar to Obama) had died; and no, he is not a zombie.

Tommygmcgee has practically become the new Vice News, but also. . . Nat Geo is taking on the Vice News style (which I consider MTV to have been a precursor to, if not "Gonzo Journalism.")


I've never heard of this guy ('Billionaire') Jarek Tadla, who is described as an "Internet personality."


Nat Geo has come a long way. . .
