“The economy has become such a complex horror that there will be no simple solutions and anyone who tells you they know how to fix it is selling you snake oil. Any solution is sure to involve a broad spectrum of measures and will probably involve making things more difficult in the short-term in order to create long-term stability.”
E.R. Rock
“He who refuses to learn deserves extinction.”

“HIPPOGRIFF, n. An animal (now extinct) which was half horse and half griffin. The griffin was itself a compound creature, half lion and half eagle. The hippogriff was actually, therefore, a one-quarter eagle, which is two dollars and fifty cents in gold. The study of zoology is full of surprises.”
Ambrose Bierce
“And they have their backs against the wall. They may be on the verge of extinction.”
