Zombie Apocalypse

No money, no jobs, no food, hordes of people milling around in a lawless urban landscape, banding into gangs, eating whatever they can find, eating other people, turning into twisted mockeries of their former humanity.
Yes, the zombie invasion is real, but it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us it’s us [...]

The End

Paper currency: for decades the US dollar has been off of the gold standard, in other words it doesn’t have any intrinsic worth. It’s just paper. As long as the dollar has been detached from the gold standard, the US has in effect been betting on its reputation. It has, with characteristic hubris, taken on monumental [...]

At first it was chaotic: everyone clambered for the top, pulling others down in order to push themselves up. People screaming in pain, clawing in desperation, contorted, eternally struggling, and rarely achieving the fresh [...]

Two Monumental Ironies

I. Thomas Jefferson was a very conservative politician who believed that a government’s only role was to secure the governed’s rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (and nothing beyond that). The cornerstone of Jefferson’s memorial in the nation’s capital was laid by Franklin D. Roosevelt, who presided over a disastrous expansion of [...]

That is why the government’s power must be limited: it’s a tool of manipulation which can only be wielded by the extremely wealthy, at everyone else’s [...]
