I have never struggled so much with anything in my life.  Keep making terribly simple mistakes… how am I supposed to learn the hard concepts if I haven’t even mastered the easy shit? This is so incredibly frustrating.

10 points to the first person who gets that ^ I’m terribly sorry for the absence.  It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. But I’m finally in Boston! Feel free to message/ask me anything. I’ve missed everyone and would like to catch up. :)

But masters, remember that I am an ass, though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass.—No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow and, which is more, an officer and, which is more, a householder and, which is...

Toasteidon: Rant on the credit crisis. →
toasteidon-god-of-the-toaster: Oh goody gumdrops. Looks like the Democrats have finally come out saying they have no spine. Guess what America, those Republicans you think you all like? Yeah, they just cut all of your programs: Education, Medicare, Medicaid, and pretty much everything else that the middle and lower class…

Shakespeare Saturday
“All that glisters is not gold.” —Morocco The Merchant of Venice, Act II, Scene 7, line 69. This one is pretty straightforward… not everything that appears to be precious/valuable is actually precious/valuable.

It’s also a...

I want to be an economist. Technically, I suppose I already am but not fully fledged. There is so much training and reading for me to do before I can call myself one. Ever since high school, I’ve thought about economic theory… and even then, I was critical of the mainstream. My first economic philosophy involved a virtuous cycle of investments. Corporations make windfall profits, but...
