Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Then: "Only Nixon could go to China." Now: "Only Trump could decouple from China." Internally Communist Chinese leaders know what time it is. The decoupling will happen and is happening. Western businesses have learned not to trust China - "China is asshole". Leaders in China are probably worried about feeding their nation and also that the middle class there will be looking for someone to blame once the shit really hits the fan... Questions arise over sports draining public resources. I'm OK with this because the resources aren't "public" in the sense that they are owned and paid for by the government. Quest Diagnostics and BioReference are private companies that charge fees for services. If BioReference wants to expedite NBA tests you can be sure that the NBA is paying a premium for it..With the demand this high would it shock anyone to see other labs step up to take some of the testing market share?.. Heh Heh... "No great thing is created suddenly." - Epictetus... Heh Heh... I've read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged a couple of times but have never picked up Return of the Primitive. I honestly don't consider Rand a very good writer but after reading this post I added Return of the Primitive to my book wish list...
