Drawing of a duck in a little sweater. The duck has not showered or shaved in like four days. NARRATOR: “Our man suddenly springs into action!” DUCK: “I gotta start acting like I have my shit together or I risk being PERCEIVED”

Eat shit, "Delta."

What if being an absentee landlord paid off even more and my tenants can't find me and string me up how cool would that be?

There is no other rationale. And more and more, I think that the 08 bailout/ZIRP was something that was absolutely necessary at the time that also utterly doomed the future, because it gave the people who were already desperately searching for it a 15 year real example of what free money was like

And I mean, this is before we get to the part where the party-within-a-party appears to have illegally stitched up at least one internal election. That’s a new one that I haven’t previously touched on. Do we think this was the only piece of comical criminality involved?

I mean, just take any single aspect of this, just one part, and it would’ve been an era-defining political scandal anywhere on the planet. It’s *at least* as bad as e.g. Sarkozy taking election funding from a Libyan dictator, then launching a war against Libya in which its dictator is killed.
