  1. Income Inflation

    by , 11-26-2013 at 05:19 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    While writing my last post, I noticed that there was enough data to create an inflation index.

  3. The Modern King Canute

    I don’t like repeating myself, but sometimes appropriate people do not hear, so repitition is necessary. Today I had the misfortune of hearing Obama making noise about trying to command the tide to stand in its place, specifically the tide of cyclical change in climate. Those who deny the validity of science still believe, in a few cases, the CO2 put into the atmosphere by human activities has led to an increase in surface temperatures.

    by , 11-17-2013 at 03:58 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    A Brief Description with Causes and Curative Measures
