Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Morgan Housel: Personal Finance Philosophies

Matt Taibbi: The Echo Chamber Era. "...audiences were asked for a time to care about certain thing as if their lives depended on it, then just as quickly asked to forget the issues ever came up. And they wonder why people feel manipulated." Don't trust China the media. China the media is asshole!

- NBC is shutting down NBC Sports Network. The NHL and other sports will be heading to the USA Network.

- A week into his administration and already Joe Biden has Canada ready to "go to war" against the US. The peace-loving, gentle, liberal Canadians. 

- There is real unrest in Russia

  1. On pissing off Canada by cancelling the pipeline,what is the positive for Biden? It will have a negative impact on the release of CO2 (not really an issue but it's supposed to be cause). It costs large numbers of jobs to be lost ( which is ok with dems as they want us all on the govt cheese). Does his son get a big check from Iran or Russia because we will buy oil from them? What is the upside? None for America that's for certain.

  3. The only positive the Proggies need is that Trump was for it, so they're against it. Oh, and Warren Buffet owns the railroad that will continue to transport oil and gas in place of Keystone.

  4. I've long felt that the Keystone debate was a made up issue. I don't think the average Democrats really cares about it at all. It was certain interests (like the railroad industry) inside the party that spent money on a PR campaign to make it seem important to try and stop it.
