Yesterday, the “warcast” was so consequential (and it was long because it was so consequential) that I put it with a link into a comment on yesterday’s OT. I hope I don’t have to do that again today, but I might have to. S–t is getting more and more real. And it’s not like we don’t have things to worry about here. I have to be glad my mother didn’t live to see this (not that it was likely – if she were alive today ahe’d be 119.) Happy Eid al Fitr, if it’s today – if not today, it’s tomorrow. Today was predicted, but not certain. Also, my PCP has moved out of town, nd I called and made an appointment with a new provider. Then I got transferred to an RN to ask about symptoms – specifically, if I have two conditions which essentially show the same symptoms, how do I tell the difference? We kind of talked that through – she brought up a lot that I hadn’t thought of, and ended up telling me I am a “bright and funny lady.” Not sure I deserve that, but it was nice yo hear. Too late, I should have told her about “RN” standing for “Real Nice.” Today is Eid al Fitr probably – if it isn’t today, it’ll be tomorrow.

I hope to God Talking Points Memo sent this to Governor Polis. He could use a little starch in his spine right about now.

The current year is not just the 240th anniversary of the United States; it is also the 250th anniversary of “The Wealth of Nations” by Adam Smith. He has been called “the father of conservative economics, but his book is neither conservative nor about economics as we understand the term today. Robert Reich makes that case better than I could.

“Master Plan” is a group of podcasts, now in its second season, created by The Lever to answer the question “How TF did we even get to where we are now?” The first season has eleven episodes with an umbrella title of “Legalizing Corruption,” and a bonus episode with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse. The second season’s umbrella title is “The Kingmakers.” Only one episode is available now, but there will be as many more as they think are needed. Every episode can be listened to from this link. The first season is now available as a book.
