How much do people need to Know to comprehend a Bathtub Curve graph? But when does anybody ever hear of a Bathtub Curve? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathtub_curve It was like my working at IBM. I NeVeR heard or saw the word 'benchmark' the entire time I was there. I had to write my own. Almost every computer you encounter uses a von Neumann architecture. IBM hired John von Neumann as a consultant in 1950. There was no mention of him or the architecture while I was there. I am simply saying that Important but Easily Understood information disappears. Black Americans are not going to get far not getting passed the bullshit. Making a light dependent on a computer is a stupid design when it could cause an accident or get the driver a ticket.

The Rapture didn't take them. Who got taken? .

The White Repugnacans are unhinged these days, what do the Black Repugnacans have to be? .

Running a household and running a household WELL are not necessarily the same thing. My senior year in high school I was in the basement of what I was told was the biggest bookstore in the city. That is where the business section was. I looked in one book, it was a rather thin book, but very near the beginning it suggested that every household should be run like a business. That would have been 1969 or 70. Possibly before you were born. For some reason I didn't buy it. But I never forgot it. But I took for granted that Planned Obsolescence was happening in cars before I graduated from high school. I built lots of models of planes and cars in grammar school. I built one of these in grade school. This piece of junk has a hand crank on the back. 60 years ago there was an electric motor in the starter housing. A PhD economist could not explain a car engine to me in the 90s. I watched a video of a man complaining about having to pay £500 to get a light bulb working on a car. Electricity to the bulb was controlled by a computer circuit board. The bulb was not the problem. The computer board had to be replaced. This is progress? .

Political-Economic Power Games So why no mandatory accounting in high schools? https://www.spectacle.org/1199/wargame.html Do Economists actually understand the system? Are they just keeping the Peons confused? .

Does calling people POOR explain the Economic Power Game? What has 70 years of Planned Obsolescence in automobiles done for EveryBody? Then our Brilliant Economists just forget to mention Decades of Depreciation. Then on top of that we get Preztard Trump. .

No! The actual issue is why "Experts" did not raise the Obvious Question of the distribution of steel down the towers. I presume that the problem cannot be properly analyzed without that information. You cannot even find accurate data on the Weight of the Concrete. There were 425,000 cubic yards but there were 2 densities. So without knowing how much of each the weight cannot be computed. But we constantly hear people talking about "Critical Thinking". Actually I consider the economics of Planned Obsolescence in automobiles more important than the Twin Towers. .

ROFL!

Annoy economists! And Marxists.

Everyone knowing how to play does not preclude cooperation but there are a lot of people bullshitting. .

The nuns at my grammar school gave us algebra books and then never taught the subject. I had 2 older sisters and I had their high school math books. I taught myself trigonometry, it looked more interesting than Algebra. Just because something is complicated does not mean that it is useful. I have no problem with accounting being taught in grammar school. It is about money and therefore power. I get credit card offers in the mail every week. I only open them to check the interest rates. They are talking 35%. Is that more complicated than Algebra?

And how do You know that 60% of people cannot learn it and why do you think accounting is more complicated than Algebra? The Double Entry business just an error checking system added onto accounting that existed for centuries before. The books usually teach it as though it is all about the debits and credits. Lots of courses emphasize trivia. School is about making money off students. . One accountant told me that he had no objection to mandatory accounting as long as it was not done until after he retired in six years.

That is why I advocate mandatory accounting so everyone knows how to deal with the Economic Power Game. Everyone needs to understand how to play for themselves. But cars are just a Planned Obsolescence scam. We are Indoctrinated to concentrate on JOBS and Consuming Junk. The clothes are intended to go out of style. Getting the land paid off to not pay rent or mortgage. Ideally we should control local government but the DIMocrats just might be slightly less full of crap than the Repugnacans. How has accounting not been mandatory in high schools for EveryBody since 1950? .

OK, I think this relates to how we Think about the Economy. I think of it as a Power Game. It is largely the result of White people having more advanced technology than other people as they roamed around the planet 550 years ago. The NAZInomic Wargame is a continuation of the Military Wargame by other means. The only difference between Manifest Destiny and Lebensraum is that the 7th Cavalry did not have tanks and gas chambers in 1976. I don't recall ever liking the term UNITY. I think more along the lines of Rational Cohesion. Figuring out when White people are using technology to rip you off is a pretty fundamental defensive tactic in the war. I figure that even techno-illiterates like PhD economists should have figured out Planned Obsolescence in automobiles by 1980, a Decade after the Moon Landing. .

Those people can pay cash for all of the cars they want. I do not give a damn about Them! Mechanics are pointing out that crap is getting more crappy. Start this one at 6:30 . That red thing in the thumbnail looks like my first car, a '67 Dodge Dart. But mine was yellow with a black vinyl roof. Bought it used for $1000 in '72. I thought that concave rear window was kind of weird. .
