If u want to get out of a hole stop digging. Translation: the unforgivable. Stop trading with China. That will solve the yuan. Break their backs before they strangle u with debt. The trouble with the US is not the euro. We need Germany and France like we need another NRA with a loaded gun in a theater yelling terrorists on board. If and I don’t have the facts the Brazilians are trading sugar for less than our corn than what do u do? You increase payments from Uncle Sam to ADM. No of course not. You screw the midwest until it puts its bible down and learns to live in the current century. The second most important thing to do other than shutting down traders all together is to stop the presses. One day China is on the brink. The next the pinnacle. This garbage churning junk from Fox and Buffett and Citi has to stop. Geithner may have saved the central bank from disaster. But he needs to put a collar no pun intended on Ben. Forget the stupid QE. That ship sailed. Let businesses do what they do. Invest, make money, pay taxes, hire.

Is it fair to leave progress up to the few willing to learn and let the super religious make all the money to run the world and decide what gets taught in school? I’m speaking of the Mormons, evangelicals and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Let us pray they find the truth in a book by Darwin or Einstein. At least the life long yearning for truth and discovery. Not the sanctimonious sort that devout believers the world over find so comforting. I have faith that humankind will find a way to survive in spite of the efforts to close the walls behind us and sequester knowledge.
But talk of Florida succumbing to rising ocean levels makes it difficult to explain to anyone who sunbathes or swims in the ocean. A ten year plotting of summer winds and temperature highs and lows won’t influence people. In fact I wonder why we are indulging the Koch brothers and Exxon at all. What we’re talking about is renewable energy. One doesn’t have to be a nuclear engineer to understand the consequences of a hydrogen bomb. Witness Jimmy Carter. So stop explaining science to the kids in the last row who have no interest in learning. Put your money and your time in science and engineering schools.
