When contacted…

When contacted, Donald Trump and Mitt Romney said “Nyet!” to the rumours they were, in an odd twist of history when going Russian meant you were a Commie, a pinko and unAmerican but now is strangely considered the move of a patriotic American, not going to accept Russian citizenship from their close friend and associate, Vladimir “No more taxes on the rich!” Putin.

Associates of Warren Buffett are already petitioning Putin to accept them.  If not, they threaten they’ll become Canadians and build military bases all along the Arctic Ocean and deny Russia its claims to oil/gas reserves in the Great White North.

Word

So we “cancel” Greek debt with no hope the Greek government/private sectors will ever pay back what they owed?

Hmm…

What does that tell us about the rest of the EU/world?

Warren Buffett can play guitar, for beginners (or is that starters?).

Telling us we’re all just regular people in one way or another.

Okay…

I agree.

However [scratching head while two cats warm my knees and crawl space crickets sprout after a midwinter rain], it’s not us creditors I mull over.

Which reminds me.  Ever wonder why you can buy cold beer and hot chocolate at an outdoor sports event but not hot fermented beverages?  What about warm, spiced beer at the next football or hockey game, huh?

Anyway, debt is the word.

The question.

The answer.

Cyclical crises are perennial and require perennial solutions, don’t they?

Or do they?

Is Bloomberg still taking programming lessons?

Does the Panic of [1819/1837/1873/1893/1907] have any relevance today, despite nomenclature games that this one has to be different because we’re so much more modern in our economic understanding, etc.?

Change is change even when you end up with no pocket change to speak of.

Next, we’ll go from an anonymous Netizen Manifesto to a Netizen Bill of Rights to a group of people declaring themselves members of no country except the virtual/online one in which they elect their nongeographical solar system representatives.

So, yes, let’s cancel Greek debt but at the same time declare Greece is no longer a real country in the old sense.

A tourist attraction, perhaps.

Other than that, its people are free to join the new Netizenry, subject to crowdsourced laws and regulations, few as they are (governed mainly by gravity and other natural laws).

The cats say it’s time for bed and sleep.

I agree.

G’night.
