Dr. Keynes Was Right: Thought For The Day

Now We Bow to President Vance, may be?

The world is not linear.
-- Dr. McElhone/1974

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
-- Lord Acton/1887

Officials who use their public positions for private gain threaten the integrity of our most important institutions. Greed makes governments — at every level — less responsive, less efficient and less trustworthy from the perspective of the communities they serve.
-- Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson/2024 [the MAGAnauts get even more aggressive when their perfidy is exposed]

I think we are on the verge of losing vaccines for this country, from this country. And the reason is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will hold up a paper, in the next four or five months, that says it's aluminum in vaccines that are causing a whole swath of problems, including autism. I think he is about to destroy vaccines in this country. I do.
-- Dr. Paul Offit/2025 [may the MAGA and MAHA be with you]

There's not a single example of things working out for the appeaser.
-- Nicolle Wallace/2024 [like this? the next extortion is on the way]

[Even U.S. producers] will also increase their prices and, in a sense, free-ride this increased pricing environment. The shock for domestically produced goods is likely to be quite significant.
-- Gregory Draxo/2025 [econ pundit, just like me, told ya so]

I don't know if the bird flu will become a pandemic, but if it does, we are screwed.
-- Angela Rasmussen/2024 [Bonzai!!]

As mass production has to be accompanied by mass consumption; mass consumption, in turn, implies a distribution of wealth -- not of existing wealth, but of wealth as it is currently produced -- to provide men with buying power equal to the amount of goods and services offered by the nation's economic machinery.

-- Marriner Eccles/1951

This Week's thought

The island is being challenged by soulless corporate entities...please choose small (island family run) business and support our efforts to continue to provide a sweet family friendly evening on Dodge [street].
-- Carolyn Collins/2025 [a Block Island business owner, and full year resident, a rarity]

Thought For The Day - 2 July 2025

Just in case it isn't obvious: rule by a Unitary Executive (the wet dream of the MAGAnauts come true) is just a fancy way of saying Dictatorship. Mad Dictator Don has already shown that there's nothing stopping him from reaching as deep as needed into the bureaucracy to make his wishes happen. Paramount is the latest entity to cave to extortion. An explicit threat isn't even needed. The Rule of Law is dead.
