Мишель Уэльбек (р.1958) — французский писатель, поэт, эссеист, самый полемичный европейский автор, затрагивающий самые острые темы современности и зачастую предлагающий парадоксальные решения. Так, исследуя феномен сексуальной свободы, он заявил, что это ловушка для современного человека. Недаром один французский критик окрестил его «Карлом Марксом секса». Его роман «Элементарные частицы» (1998) получил «Гран-при», за ним последовали «Платформа», «Лансароте», «Возможность острова» и др., и каждая из этих книг становилась бестселлером. В романе «Платформа», замаскированном под сентиментальное путешествие, окружающий мир дан в движении с Запада на Восток глазами вначале совершенно равнодушного, затем абсолютно счастливого и — после гибели возлюбленной — сломленного и несчастного человека. «Я до конца своих дней останусь сыном Европы, порождением тревоги и стыда; я не смогу сказать ничего обнадеживающего. К Западу я не испытываю ненависти, только огромное презрение. Я знаю одно: такие, как мы есть, мы смердим, ибо насквозь пропитаны эгоизмом, мазохизмом и смертью. Мы создали систему, в которой жить стало невозможно; и хуже того, мы продолжаем распространять ее на остальной мир», —заключает герой романа.

The federal reserve basically has only 2 tools to govern the economy with: the money supply and interest rates. When the interest rate goes to zero, and the economy no longer responds, that is a condition known as the “Liquidity Trap”. We are now in the Liquidity Trap, and the Fed is basically in a position where it no longer stimulate the depressed economy. At this point, the government is supposed to step in and start building roads and infrastructure, but they don’t because present day Calvin-Coolidge/Herbert-Hoover’s (like Paul Ryan) have the idea that we should pay off the debt in the middle of a depression. That’ll surely fix the economy – NOT. And it didn’t fix it in the Coolidge/Hoover days either.

That is not to say, of course, that the mere fact of being married magically proofs relationships against disintegration. It may be that the sort of people who value marriage highly are more likely to make an effort to stick together. You can always find couples who buck the trend: the cohabiting parents who have stayed together for 20 years, or the married parents who are embroiled in a hideously messy divorce after 10.

To get the big payday, Pietrangelo had to sign away three years of free agency, but that’s a minor giveback compared to what the Blues brought to the table. The team could have taken a hard line with the restricted free agent and used the leverage provided by the CBA to force him into a lower dough bridge contract. But Armstrong chose instead to make a bold statement of faith in Pietrangelo and what he means to the franchise, both now and down the road.

Bulk collection of U.S. persons' data is, of course, one of two real scandals. The other is the inability of NSA officials to credibly interact with Congress and the public. I say inability, because a "we know better" attitude seems to be built in to their defenses of the programs, and in their history of refusing to at least attempt to respond meaningfully to Congress. I don't think the NSA lies, willfully. I think they think they tell the truth just enough to protect their equities: the core intelligence mission (extremely important), their sense of pride (important), their guilt at the scope of the collection (not very important), and their relative importance within the structure of the U.S. intelligence community (slightly important). NSAers have developed an argot that allows them to mislead even when there is no compelling reason to do so. I blame the secrecy culture more than anything else.

There is a significant civil rights movement in some ways with the same organizations that made up the civil rights movement in the 1960s. There's also a significant labor movement, although it's much weaker than it was in the 1960s. It's hard to say where they're going to go, but I've been thinking about the parallels. In the 1960s, these movements were very weak and sporadic, and nobody knew where they were going to go. And I think the March on Washington was a very successful event that brought movements that were largely unknown and leaders who were largely unknown to national prominence and allowed them to have an impact on federal policy in a way that I don't think anybody could've predicted just a few years before that.
