mircea_popescu: all three socialisms tried, the british, and the russian, and the us.

mircea_popescu: undata cops sweating is also pretty common in the south.
mircea_popescu: cazalla seems to me on somewhat intuitively obvious, this. taking the gun of some armed entity is one of those things where you take your life in your hands. either you know what you're doing or don't complain at the results.
mircea_popescu: there wasn't at any point the possibility ~i'd~ get shot.
mircea_popescu: bitch was in no position to do anything. i could have shot her dead. that i didn't is an act of mercy on
mircea_popescu: but the deeper moral is : see idiot with gun, take it from him. okay.

mircea_popescu: anecdotally, i totally raped the power company in romania. one year they were desperate for cash, so you could make a deal where you prepaid consumption at fixed rate. so i did, i prepaid for like a year.
mircea_popescu: the more tangible the better. tuna is stuff. stocks... hardly.
mircea_popescu: as a general principle : the only use of money in an inflationary spiral is to buy stuff.
mircea_popescu: the 8% is illusory. having the stuff on hand for when the price hikes is not.
mircea_popescu: so stock up on stuff then. look at your grocery list, see everything on there you actually like and keeps well, buy a year's supply
mircea_popescu: buy an apartment in every city you ever heard of and rent it out. worst comes to worst you have where to live. stuff like that.

mircea_popescu: on it goes, lulzfest is of such epic proportions it can scarcely be conveyed.

mircea_popescu: yeah well... it gets better. they mostly owe to banks, have wives and children
mircea_popescu: and "entrepreneurs" aren't in that much better a shape, since we're on it.
mircea_popescu: in the immortal words of maggie the cat, "you can be young and without money, you just can't be old and without it"
mircea_popescu: couch surfing is a thing. bumming food and shelter off people you met at a party last week idem.
mircea_popescu: how do whores generally eat ? around the cock in their mouth.

mircea_popescu: actually, for years on end "journos" got no pay at all.
mircea_popescu: "La ultimul termen din 1 aprilie, Mazăre s-a prezentat la procesul de la Cureta de Apel Bucureşti" << they were trying for the "court of appeals". itcame out, "the appalling curette".
