Well hello!
Major personal developments, minor global developments – I’m not referring to the same events.
Today is Friday. On Wednesday I shall quit my job at the world’s foremost financial services firm! And you know what…it’s going to be great. I worked hard to rise to the “top” of the industry, and I’m proud of myself for not just saying ‘this is enough’ and making the leap to something new. I am incredibly excited about my new business and the people it will take me into contact with.
Meanwhile…GDP grew at 4.1% annualized QoQ! Do you know what this means???? Well…ok not that much. It will be revised and forgotten…but it’s also not sustainable!! Huh? That’s strange. The host on CNBC invited the president of the Club for Growth, who is clearly an idiot, to discuss how the trillion dollar deficit would pay for itself through increased revenues. The Club for Growth agreed, although they chastised the R-controlled Congress for it’s lack of discipline in cutting government spending, that ultimate evil. Absurd. Even if there was a theoretical leg left to stand upon, rank empiricism shows them to be wrong. Disgusting. The estimable Mark Zandi, paired on the segment with the Club, did his best to demonstrate this boost will be temporary at best, but he was drowned out by the morons seeking increased viewers by merit of a Large Number. A thousand poxes on CNBC and all who work for it.
So I have a job more or less lined up, I’m off to try and engage with a woman. Jesus do I need a girlfriend.
