Why Net Neutrality is Safe. My Plan to Cut The Cord. Football. These ARE Linked Topics.
The government shutdown is all over but the shouting for now. So I figured I’d write about football. Actually, this is about Net Neutrality so bear with me for a bit. I lived (quite happily) without a TV from 1995 … Continue reading

The Market is Celebrating a Productivity Revolution. We’re Too Busy Mourning It to Notice…
Publishing this against a deadline so apologies for any typos. I’ve been doing some thinking around how to think about current market valuations and the outlook. I’m still doing some work on the widely cited PE/10 valuation argument (spoiler, PE/10 … Continue reading

OK, so I’ve got fantasies. I’m not hurting anyone and it’s a free country ain’t it? (grin). First a note of resigned reality. The House Republicans are (of course) acting like lunatics. What is depressing is that the Senate and … Continue reading

What’s the Fed Up to?
I’m in Vermont and dealing with some health problems with the in-laws, so been a bit tough to fit posts in. I’ve got a backlog of more in-depth analysis (tech and macro) teed up in my mind, but need to … Continue reading

A Gov’t Shutdown (Before Debt Ceiling Crisis) Looks More Likely

Tired of Partisanship? Its All C-SPAN’s Fault…
I am starting to wonder if C-Span is the real cause of gridlock in DC. Specifically, the Sunday night airing of the UK’s Prime Minister’s Questions. It does seem like at least one clear vector for the increasingly venomous and … Continue reading
