Leland LeCuyer

Of two minds, in contradiction with myself...

With the insight of a nine-year-old, I came to the realization that all my opinions echoed my mother's. I resolved immediately that, someday, I would learn to think for myself. 
I'm still trying (in both senses of the word).

About 12 weeks ago Wagging the Dog – The Long Financial Tale
Yesterday @primeeconomics circulated on Twitter this pretty picture of private sector debt in the UK. Notice that household debt, which I presume include mortgages, credit card, educational and automobile scheduled payments, total just under 100% of annual GDP of the kingdom. Similarly, commercial debt adds up to just over 100%. But notice the nice sweet frosting topping this biscuit: financial sector debt, which I won't presume to understand in the least, weighs in at over 240% of annual GDP. 240%!!!

Doesn't it seem the least bit peculiar that the sector of the economy that is supposed to serve the men and women and companies who actually produce the woolens or stock the shelves or bake the biscuits has become so grotesquely fat? How is the economy ever going to recover when so much of the wealth is lost to unfettered speculation?

I shudder to think what these figures look like in the United States. Or Europe.

About 2 days ago Google Balloon-Powered Internet   #ProjectLoon  
Full story at http://goo.gl/QuH4v

See that TINY white dot on the left in the sky?  Another Google Loon Balloon makes its way towards the stratosphere, spreading Internet like ambrosia dripping from Mount Olympus. We soared up vertically over the mountains, spiraling up to track the balloons. I had great trouble spotting the balloon from the chopper!  It's not like one of those giant hot-air balloons. It's more like a tiny weather balloon. #HolyKaw

About 9 weeks ago I give you a promise, you give me toil, sweat and tears
Brazenly stolen from a comment made today by +Ernie Whiteside on one of my posts:

Employers don't actually have anything of value to give to employees. Employees provide labor, which has value, in exchange for what we call money. Money, is the credit now for payment in the future. The payment for the labor isn't actually made until the employee gets a bag of groceries or tops off the gas tank. The employer never actually provides the payment, others provide that. I'm sure that this line of thinking is novel so I will leave it open for more discussion as to what the employer actually provides in exchange for the labor, who gives and who takes, and whether or not one of the partners in the exchange enjoys an unfair advantage that might be properly regarded as the power of extortion or if one of the partners is fraudulent in the transaction.

Best definition of money I have ever encountered. Bar none.

The problem is not the jobs. It's us. Most humans are simply not the kind of people a boss would want to hire.
