  • Robert Reich: Why the Dow is Hitting 10,000 While Everyone Else is Cutting Back
    I know this, I know this! Call on me!! Is it because we consumers are *FUCKED*?
    "So how can the Dow be flirting with 10,000 when consumers, who make up 70 percent of the economy, have had to cut way back on buying because they have no money? (…)
    The problem is, our newly expanded government isn't doing much for average working Americans who continue to lose their jobs and whose belts continue to tighten, and who are getting almost nothing out of the rising Dow because they own few if any shares of stock. Despite the happy Dow and notwithstanding the upbeat corporate earnings, most corporations are still shedding workers and slashing payrolls. And the big banks still aren't lending to Main Street.
    Trickle-down economics didn't work when the supply-siders were in charge. And it's not working now, at a time when — despite all their cries of "socialism" — big business and Wall Street are more politically potent than ever."

  • A strange madness – Paul Krugman Blog – NYTimes.com
    "Something is going very wrong in the heads of a substantial number of Americans." Too true, too true. It was bad enough that Bill Clinton was a Democrat, it just melts their brain that Obama is a *Black* Democrat.

  • Neurodiversity and Fandom/ Tor.com / Science fiction and fantasy / Blog posts
    “School is starting up soon… It has brought up a whole childhood can of worms regarding my less-than-lovely educational experience, and makes me reflect on issues of social acceptance for neurologically atypical people overall. That leads me to fandom. I can’t help but think neurodiveristy is an area in which science fiction and fantasy fans are a long, long ways ahead of society in general.
    A few years ago I attended a panel at Norwescon that was supposed to be about the future of psychology but quickly became a discussion of the neurological make-up of fandom. The lively and engaged discussion covered dyslexia, Asperger’s, ADHD, autism, sensory integration dysfunction, and related topics. The general consensus was that among convention-goers, the percentage of people with such atypical neurology ranged around 60 to 70 percent. Almost all the audience members who spoke identified with one or more of the above, or mentioned a close relative that did.” (Tor.com) [via Eliot]
