[lbo-talk] FW: They're printing another trillion....

[Carrol Cox]

Probably I won't be reading this or any other list very much. It's perfectly
legitimate for people to find what fun they can wherever they can, and
obviously quite a few people get fun out of gossiping about this or that or
complainng about this or that or sneering at this or that feature of the
world. It would be silly (has been silly) of me to complain about this. It's
just people living their lives.

But I have really ceased to have much interest in political or
pseudopolitical discussion or "facts" that are not focused on witbd during a
period when nothing that is done will make any particular difference. One
act on the basis of expecting the unexpected, that is, the suddent response
of masses of people to some issue.  I want o discuss what we should do to
make that surproise powerful when it comes, though we can't do anything
directly to bring it about.
