When a former assistant of the treasury in the Reagan administration who was one of the designers of supply-side economics approving quotes Marx and writes that Marx and Lenin knew what they were talking about when it comes to late stage finance capitalism, then you know we're in it up to our necks.
Paul Craig Roberts gives an astonishingly grim assessment of the present situation. To paraphrase Churchill: apropos the Great Depression of the 21st century, this is not the end of it nor even the beginning of the end of it; it's just the end of the beginning. There's much worse yet to come.

Hi Mark!
I'm enjoying reading your blogs. I just started my own (not an intellectually stimulating one like yours - just for my own entertainment! ha!) so I could post my quilts n stuff:

I've been kinda making mental lists of things to do for Thanksgiving - do you think you get to come visit? Also for Christmas too? Would love to have you with us. Not sure if we'll move mom out to Great-Grandma's room by then, but it's something we're thinking of. She forgets where the bathroom is a lot of times, and we thought maybe being next to it might help. But no matter, either way we'll have room :-)
Things are going fine here - I still haven't found a job; everyone either wants someone who is an accountant or speaks Spanish, neither of which is me! But I've decided I want to go back to school, and last week I went to the Beauty School on St Michael's to get information. Filled out my application and am collecting transcripts. I might start after the first of the year. Gotta wait for my settlement so I can pay my tuition - I'm excited; this is something I've wanted to do since high school. Don't know why I didn't do it then instead of going to NNC, but no matter. :-) Important thing is I've decided I'm never too old to learn :-)
Still some residuals from my wreck, one of which is that I still don't think my brain works the way it should, so I'm hoping it won't interfere with studying. But physically I'm pretty close to 90%. Doubt that my back will ever be the same, but it's livable.
Steve's been working on a bunch of glass projects and keeping busy refurbishing laptops that he's finding on ebay.
It's getting cold here - I would much rather have Arizona weather!
Hope you're doing well!
Hugs - Chrys :-)
