Things To Watch New Year

This is just a side question, but has anybody read "Frankenstein" or seen one or more of the movies?

There are some things humans really shouldn't f--k with!

I doubt seriously that war, even with the proliferation of nuclear weapons, is going to destroy the human race once and for all. It's going to be some "genius" enhancing viruses, or cloning humans into freakish monsters like the Incredible Hulk, or modifying genes until they come up with some mutation that causes all humans to program themselves to self-destruct from the inside out, physiologically.

All the while claiming they're doing research for future miracle cures and to make the world a safer and better place. Even if the real reason might be biological warfare and/or world domination. Or not.

For all our technology and all our revolutionary advances, two of the things we seem to have lost faster than typewriters and payphones are basic common sense and good judgement

 

Right now, China, Russia, and I'm sure India are trying to damage our economy. They are succeeding, to an extent, although I believe both China and Russia are suffering far more than the west.

A few assholes are hurting the global economy for every human being.

When this stops, assuming it stops, the global economy should do extremely well.

For now, I'm happy with fixed income. If Russia and China stop acting like morons, the global economy will probably spring forward quickly.

Perhaps it is worth noting that if Xi and/or Putin were to pass from this mortal coil, that does not guarantee their successor will act like an adult. In the case of Russia, I expect things will improve sharply and immediately but then gradually return to current state. In the case of China, I wouldn't want to predict anything but I'm hopeful.
