So, continuing on with skewering America’s Funniest Homeland Phrases, let’s examine this old warhorse, if you’ll pardon the pun: “Freedom isn’t free”. Wow, snappy, huh? I wonder how many post-it notes and crayons they went through scribbling that one, what with all the rough drafts and all? Hmmm…so freedom isn’t free? Then what is it, exactly? A pay-as-you-go plan? A rent-to-own thing? Ah! No, I’ve got it! It’s a payday loan! I knew I’d figure it out! Yes, yes, I know what they mean. This one is always trotted out when the U.S. is discussing yet another episode of mass … Continue reading →

So here we are, in a Huddersfield block of flats, having a lesson on what to do if you ever happen to find yourself buried alive, six feet under. ‘Remember, at that depth you’ve got about six tonnes of earth pressing down on you. You have to pretty much use every muscle in your body to punch up, up, up through it,’ says Antony Britton who, surreally, shows me by pummelling his way through some sofa cushions. ‘It’s pitch black and the dampness is overwhelming. The soil is up your nose, in your mouth, in your eyes. ‘It’s like being … Continue reading →

The Misfortune of Being Born Into a State In an essay titled “The State”, Randolph Bourne, an American writer, made a distinction between a country and a state that I find crucial. He described one’s country as “an inescapable group into which we are born”. In his view, a country is “a concept of peace, tolerance, of living and letting live. But the State is essentially a concept of power, of competition; it signifies a group in its aggressive aspects. And we have the misfortune of being born not only into a country but into a State, and as we … Continue reading →

According to one study (Banarto, McClellan, Kagy and Garber, 2004), 30% of all Medicare expenditures are attributed to the 5% of beneficiaries that die each year, with 1/3 of that cost occurring in the last month of life. There are various studies that come to more or less the same conclusion.  Of course, virtually nobody knows beforehand that the upcoming year will be their last – and even if they did, they would likely want to fight it all the way. Going into that last year?  Who knows?  Is this my last year of life?  Is it yours?  In hindsight … Continue reading →

GUALFIN, Argentina – Well, it’s ZIRP now. ZIRP forever. Viva ZIRP! Viva! Viva! As we suspected, Janet Yellen did not want to risk raising the federal funds rate. Bloomberg reports: Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged, opting to delay an increase amid stubbornly low inflation, an uncertain outlook for global growth and recent financial-market turmoil.In holding their benchmark federal funds rate at zero to 0.25%, policy makers showed they are still not convinced inflation will move gradually back to their 2% target, despite continued gains in the labor market. Punish the Savers! The whole show is so preposterous that … Continue reading →
