Geese!
Geese outside my door at work this morning. It’s still hard to believe but spring may actually be coming.
LEGOs Everywhere
Meghan has a job with the LEGO store (yes, they insist on the all-caps spelling). She has started coming home with the big kits, thanks to her employee discount. Featured here are a mobile police kit and a city shop kit.
Snow again…
Another 7-8 inches of snow, and still coming down.
A short introduction to economics (economic -isms)
Capitalism
Businesses are out to screw you. You should unionize to protect yourself, or else you’re on your own.
Socialism
Businesses are out to screw you. The government says, don’t worry about unionizing, we’ve got you covered.
Communism
The government is the business, and is your union (whether you want it or not).
Facism
Businesses are out to screw you. Government is your union (whether you want it or not) and is in cahoots with business.
Libertarianism
Businesses are out to screw you, and have bought the unions.
Mercantilism
Businesses serve at the pleasure of the king. You serve at the pleasure of the king.
Futurama
Professor: Being captain is about intuition and heart. A good captain can’t have either one. That’s why cold, logical Bender is perfect for the job.
Bender: Well, I do think of human life as expendable.
