A Golden Land Of Opportunity And Adventure

On This Day In History
1939: New York World's Fair opens

Quote Of The Day
"The fair was a testament to the power of human ingenuity, a showcase of our ability to turn dreams into reality."
(E.L. Doctorow, World's Fair )

Bonus Quote Of The Day
"A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure. New climate, recreational facilities, easy advancement, great pay. Plus, a loyal trouble-free companion, given to you upon arrival, absolutely free. Use your new friend as a personal body servant or a tireless field hand. The custom tailored genetically engineered humanoid replicant––designed especially for your needs. So, come on America! Let's put our team up there. Give this country another chance. Let's go to the colonies!"
(Shimata-Dominguez advertisement, Blade Runner )


Global Trade Collapses As U.S. Economy Seizes: Heavy stuff, but I think the "Global" in the title is inaccurate. It's the U.S. economy that is facing collapse. The rest of the world may be in for a little pain, but we'll forge new alliances and get along just fine. Especially China. Sorry, America, you used to be fun, but bullies are not welcome in this playground. As Kyle Kulinski says, "Enjoy what little remains of the relative calm before the storm, because the storm is most definitely coming."

I'm so sorry.
