RANT: Michael Bolton, health issues

Monday, March 3, 2014

Argh!

A cancellation AFTER we had departed to the venue.

Seriously.

The day before I received an email about the event. They advertised the valet parking and their restaurant. So we were going to do it.

We arrived at the venue and the only sign was a 8½ by 11 “cancelled”.

Argh!

Seriously? 

Did the “star” get sick 3 hours before performance?

Argh!

Oh, well, it makes for good blog post!

MONEY: WalMart as the “bank” for the poor

Monday, March 3, 2014

http://www.oftwominds.com/blogfeb14/banks-obsolete2-14.html

Banks Are Obsolete: The Entire Parasitic Sector Can Be Eliminated (February 20, 2014)
What else can we do with the $1.25 trillion we’ll save by eliminating these obsolete financial middleman parasites? A lot.

*** begin quote ***

The entire notion that 100 savers put their money in a bank which then buys a mortgage with their savings and sells it as a security that supports a pyramid of derivatives is obsolete. Each saver can directly own (and sell on a transparent market) a piece of a mortgage, auto loan, business loan, etc. There is no need for a middleman banking sector at all–no skim, no concentration of risk, no opportunities for selling derivatives to unwary investors. All that goes away with the banking sector.

But what about holding deposits? We already have two institutions that could serve this role: credit unions and the post office. If those holding depositors’ cash do not issue loans, they have no source of income to defray operating expenses. The solution is obvious: charge fees for holding deposits and payor-payee transactions.

*** end quote ***

And what about WalMart as the “bank” for the poor and middle class?

I see the politicians and bureaucrats whine about Payday Loans and Title Loans.

WalMart could be a great “bank” for the little guy!

Argh!

The Sheeple are so dumb and the Gooferment enables them!
