A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

My favorite Annette Peacock vocals are from a song she co-wrote with Bill Bruford called “Adios a la Pasada (Goodbye to the Past)” on his album “Feels Good to Me.” It's about 9 minutes long with a slow build-up before the singing begins but absolutely worth it.

I’m a Democrat/centrist. Can you be a Democrat and still believe that everything happening in the U.S. was bound to happen sooner or later? This is America’s last chance to stop its massive debt from blowing up in its face—and in its children’s—and to abandon a phantom economy built on printing money. No one will keep playing along with that game. The world is gradually ditching the dollar. Building a country grounded in real products, materials, and goods—not invasions and wars—is the responsibility of this generation and the next. Otherwise, we’ll keep running the money printer until the dollar’s only good for wiping your ass.

a lot of gold is artificial scarcity as far as i know

it's pretty dumb to base the value of currency based off of rocks in the ground, but it's also dumb to just say "$10 is worth the amount it is on paper, and it's just a gentleman's agreement"

(honestly the whole notion of currency seems a bit silly if you think about it, but it's pretty much necessary)

Re: defiicits: The tax code was designed to keep individuals from dominating government. From the New Deal through 1950s, the top marginal tax rate was 90%.
Not all rich people paid that much, but they paid significant portion of their incomes. We see major changes in taxes since 1980s – lowering tax rates on highest earners, and the tax code was changed to benefit investment, rather than wage, income. As a result, values are based on economics rather than political discourse, and equality as a matter of legal standing and participation in shared rule ends, replaced by the "moral Darwinism of “winner take all”

Zip7:

I found out last week that my closest friend for 50+ years has stage 4 cancer. There’s an academic practice called a Festchrift, in which students write essays honoring their mentors while the mentors are living. People need to know they are loved and the impact they’ve had while they’re living. At best, a eulogy does them no damned good. At worst, a eulogy is morbid. So I wrote him a 20-page letter and hope it helps. If you love someone, tell them NOW, before it's too late.

It still would be an extremely impactful change. And elections were bought and paid for but more and more laws were created to try to prevent that during the 20th century. Then the supine court made at least that one big dent in trying to level the playing field with Citizens United--it erased some progress in regulating it.

Morning Trouble, fellow Troubled Souls. Super busy but will have show on in background. My one contribution -- Zip7 -- my Mom reached her 80th birthday while in the mire of pancreatic cancer; she'd be dead just a few weeks shy of a year later. I told her that my brother would be having a birthday Zoom call for the occasion from his place in Australia, but he'd have people over at the time so get dressed up, etc. I helped her shower, get on a good outfit, and some makeup. And then we did the Zoom call....with all of our surviving family and all of her friends on the call. Everyone went on about how much they appreciated/loved her, family went on about her amazing huge family holiday meals, her former co-workers went on about her after-work dinners etc. She was so happy she cried and said "It's so nice to hear all of this stuff NOW! I won't be around to hear it when I'm dead!" For her gift that year, I got her the bound version of the "front page of the NY Times for every year since you were born, on your birthday." We went through it together later that day.

Ha! Andy is WFMU's Elon. I wonder how he would react to that comparison.

Call in next week and see! ;-)

As far as Trump not winning without Musk's financial support, that is speculation. But it is a curiosity to explore.

Under previous rules, corporations could still participate in politics via issue advocacy ads (en.wikipedia.org...), create PACs (but not donate from corporation funds directly), create social welfare organizations, etc.

I would like to see ballot access reform, allowing more individuals and parties to have a non-extraneous pathway to participate.

The two party duopoly is not helping the Country.

Thank you for the conversation, Marie. May you and yours have a great day!
