In the weekends I try to keep it short around here. Bring you some stuff I found really worthy and deeper in nature. You know, to read in a leisurely Sunday by the fireplace. Or the beach. Or in your bed if you are sleeping in. Or in your bungalow at the Maldives…there is always someone there!
End of a Golden Age
If you like to read about economics and financial history and things of that sort, this article is a must read! It makes a well reasoned argument that we will likely never see again the rate of progress we experienced between 1948 and 1973, which was due to high productivity gains. It circles back to the recent election of populist readers across the world promising the voters that they can bring us back to those days. Yeah…right.
Warren Buffett’s Latest Annual Letter
Well, since we are on this financial bent today, lets add to it, shall we? Every year in late February the financial world stops to read Warren Buffett’s letter to his company’s shareholders. It is always long and peppered with wisdom, mundane crap about his separate businesses and, in general, it provides a view into his thinking about lots of things. It was especially gratifying to see a special mention to one of my heroes, Jack Bogle, the founder of Vanguard this year, well deserved! See: Warren Buffett just said this man has done the ‘most for American investors‘.
Inside the Macedonian Fake News Complex
Wow, I could not skip any part of this when I started reading. It will educate you in this fake news phenomenon. And the economics behind it. We need to do something about this shit!
Inside Beijing’s Underground Nuclear Bunkers
Wow, I did not know about this! One million people live in them, mostly because it is cheap amid the city’s crazy real estate prices. Italian photographer Antonio Faccilongo slipped by the guards and brings you inside to meet some residents, who are mostly embarrassed living there.
Since “inspire” is in the blog mission and this blog is really high on the entertain and educate parts, well it is time to catch up I guess…

Gossip Sunday!
Notice how often Leff is putting political “comment bait” into his posts? Why?
Was OCCAAT treated “poorly” in the First Class Lounge because he’s gay? Or is it karma because he promotes anti-gay airlines and countries?
Who is the White House leaker? Preibus? Pence?
Apologies to readers, I do not censor comments and I really have no idea how anyway other than shutting down the whole comments section!
Wanna know what’s the second worst thing about blogging? When commenters fight in here hammering themselves.
I miss Ingy 🙂
Let us enjoy this Sunday and get back on topic…Emily is on a giant roll with selfies holding credit cards and….lot of hot air on another selfie…so bizarre!
And go see the movie Get Out.
Man shit is next level in the comments the last few days.
I wonder if either of those guys would talk the way they do in person, without the protection and anonymity of a computer screen and username.
Keep it up G money don’t let em get to you!
Yeah…really.
Time Out!
This is going to be a weird week…Someone on Twitter reminded me I need to schedule my first colonoscopy…totally NOT looking forward to that!
You think a reseller did this for a £300 Heidi Lauritsen love doll?
“Lusty burglar breaks into a sex shop, watches porn and steals a life size inflatable love doll”
“There must be £25,000 of kit in there but that doll was the only thing that was taken. It makes me wonder whether somebody has broken in just to steal that doll. ”

So I wake up and check here and I see this sheer ugly ridiculous non sense on a Sunday. My stomach turned. I am so sorry about it dear readers….When I get downstairs I will delete every single comment that I deem necessary.
You turned me into Rene. Shut the fuckup and take your shit elsewhere, we dont need this crap around here!
Question: How do I ban people in here? Last thing I need I have to come here to nuke comments all day long!
THINK before you post here!
You turned me into a phucking censor and you are ruining my blog. Take a breath, go outside and go post your crap somewhere else.
I am talking to the two posters I just nuked a bunch of comments from.
You are on notice.
And you all have a good week. Don’t be angry.
Keep up to good work bro. You’re much appreciated by many. And if people don’t feed the trolls they go back into their caves.
If in my line of work we listened to trolls and let them get to us, we’d be consumed by the nonsense and broke lol
