This time IS different

I haven't been going out of my way to learn something new everyday. Unlike I said I would in my resolution. But I have finished the book this time is different, and it was interesting, but the crux is if its a bubble it will burst, and if you think you have found the perfect way to exploit the system and make a ton of money, it will eventually backfire, and it's gonna suck. We always think its not going to happen because we fixed or shored up the weakness from the last time, and the next time will be a different combination of causes leading to a crisis. I didn't glean much in the way of avoiding these crises, I think if greed runs the marketplace, then it's always going to happen at some point. Reading about interest being equated to coin clipping was a new way to think of it, but since we are a fiat economy (not fixed to a tangible real standard) interest is artificially manipulated to some degree. My socialist heart fears to keep down the man, but it is probably part of the government to avoid a measure of its debt. Which is why I do not understand this platinum coin business. I need to look in the economist to see what they say about this coin business.

I also finished a book called Getting to Yes. I need to listen to that once a month for a year. I might need to get a paper copy, for reference. Very interesting.

I bought a sewing book, and I need it start its lessons, and do the lessons in sew u. I might need to get sew u stretch.

Next up to read is the book on space evolution. And a book on writing.
I need to write a play this year.
