Malign leaders

Dick Cheney Rand Paul and the possibility of malign leaders

Hard to call it much conspiracy theory these days, with supposed truck loads of Dell's dumped on the sides of Iraqi roads for insurance claims (at several times a given value), or where any manner of a grab for American Tax payer dough a.s.a.p is the likely culprit.  It seems one is to wonder how likely unashamed that legalized robbery is occurring, or as recent headline seems to suggest on the domestic front...Wall Street slated for another sad bit of misdirection scheme scandal with a mortgage like financial instrument, or something to this effect.

Supposedly Deutsche bank got burned on K.C. property investments, which is to say the good ole theory of global investment isn't so great on another note...why fail?  Apparently massive bad properties management creep led to continued devaluation here, or when your investor hardly checks up on you, see what you could get away with?!  Sure when this sort of problem occurs in small scale leads to something like the state revocation of a given townships right to legal right to existence (e.g., consider the small so crooked Floridian town that allowed so much to go on in its confines, that the state of Florida actually put an ultimatum up for the town...change your ways or you no longer exist formally as a township), but when its widespread enough, who's willing to step up to the plate?!    No, what likely happens is the eventual erosion of sucker magnets, or investor confidence.  In theory less want to: invest in places such as these, visit places such as these, and live in places such as these.

And nowadays, cooking books is tantamount to working at the level of credit ratings agencies...  sigh...  you think the devil occupies a tiny little house?!  :)

So you have it potentially in mind, that model cities could be constructed primarily on the premise of investor illusion, or in other words, if it looks fancy enough, large enough, attractive enough, people will come :)
Even if its a roughshod haphazard jumble of suburban sprawl looming with big dark shadows and lots of actors in store.  Lots of artificiality in economy, little sustainability...if the metaphor for abandonment were vast acreage of decaying asphalt, fences, and abandoned shop fronts, there shouldn't be too much left, the pyramids are really in Vegas these days. Its all really for show.

Oblivion

 Between the fascination of an upcoming pandemic ridden college football season, Taylor Swift, and Kim Kardashian, wildfires, crazier weathe...
