– “The macro-economic consequences of this fundamentally underpin why the Global Financial Crisis has occurred. As Timothy Sinclair has written, the total investment in those sour subprimes was about $0.7 trillion in mid 2007, out of a total global capital market of $175 trillion. His conclusion?”
– “There are only two outcomes here. Either we get very good at spotting and stopping these attempts at a brownshirt takeover the minute they crop up; or they’re going to get very good at public intimidation, and keep ratcheting it up further toward outright violence and goon rule. That’s how it’s going to be for the rest of this administration. The sooner we resign ourselves to the zero-sum nature of this fight, the sooner we can get on with getting good at it.”
– the latest in frausallybenz’s series on polyamory at Feministe
