I dreamt that I stood
in a long grocery line,
and faced the bully.

Do You Think Economics Is Broken?
If so, consider attending my seminars that critically examine the ideological nature of current economic practices.
Economics Debunked
Confusing economic language often limits our ability to understand the many challenges that confront society at all levels, from federal to municipal governance, to big versus small business practices, and national versus international trade agreements. Furthermore, the media frequently presents an economic language that appears simple, but which has effected social changes that, with hind sight, have often achieved at best ambivalent or questionable results. ‘Economics Demystified’ is an introduction to economic language and critical thinking skills that can help the concerned individual pierce the veil of economic jargon and strengthen broad economic discernment, argument and action.
Banks Skanks
A few years ago the American Empire was in peril of total economic collapse because their banks had successfully defrauded the citizenry and then took their taxes to avoid their and the country's bankruptcy. That is what their spokespeople and media propagandized. And yet, the mighty empires of Persia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, India, did not have banks, as we understand the term. History belies what the media propagandized about them being too big to fail. But then, what are banks? What is a 'central bank', what does it do? Is the world bank really a bank? And, as it turns out, the far more important question is, 'What is debt?' [I suggest that Economics Debunked be taken before or concurrently with Banks Skanks.]
Details of the next course offering TBA. If you would like to be notified of when the next session is being presented, please send an e.mail with the subject 'Economics Debunked' to: gduperreault@gmail.com
I had the weirdest dream last night....Yours must have been a fun one.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was. I was in a fancy-ish grocery store, something like Gourmet Warehouse. It was very busy and the cart I was pushing was overflowing with food. I don't remember filling it, though. Now I'm standing in the LONG line. There is only the one cashier. After being patient, suddenly I am at the front with only one other person. A rather dowdy slightly overweight woman with short hair. She belligerently pushes her way in front of me, but I tell in no uncertain terms and perhaps rather course language to back off.
DeleteWhat was yours?
ReplyDeleteI dreamed that Alan Rickman was wearing the Joker's suit. Here, I typed an explanation in comment #55 in this thread.

Al I read your dream. It is fascinating! With dreams like these, once you're done with your silly schooling, start reading some Jung. These kinds of dreams are Jungian psychology to a 'T'.
DeleteThere was so much more to that dream. Each room I went in in that house had something different. Somethings were terrifying, others were good. Overall, it was a pretty awesome dream.
