Economics and the Work Ethic
From a friend “Keynesian economics by which the world has run since the 1930’s depends on the assumption of continual growth.

Noah (by a retired marine surveyor)
the ark story is still only for the brain dead All the animals two by two, that must have included the kangaroos, a specie that they had never even heard about. Did they hop all the way from Australasia in two days ? How much imagination is needed to visualise the sheer terror that would […]
