THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS is, in my opinion, good. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ballad of Buster Scruggs: Good
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Near Algodones: Not Half Bad
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Meal Ticket: Not Half Bad
⭐️⭐️⭐️

All Gold Canyon: Pretty Good
⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

The Gal Who Got Rattled: Masterpiece
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Mortal Remains: Half Good
⭐️⭐️1/2
Very interesting to see the stories grow less cartoonish leading to the obvious emotional centerpiece of the film, and how various moments from the previous ones set/confound expectations for the penultimate; an anthology where the other parts act in service to the greatest part.
One thing about The Mortal Remains that might raise it in my estimation upon re-watch is, given the destination, and the three guests who seem perfectly calibrated to make each other crazy, it’s basically a preface to No Exit

Perhaps AOC's great contribution is to show just how possible it is to change the conversation, and thereby shine a light on how Democrats inability to do so for so many years in many case represents an unwillingness to do so.
AOC doesn't have some sort of super-powers. She's just got principals.

Nothing against her—she's very talented—but I think what she's doing is easily replicable just by standing for something real and working for it, and refusing to back down from it or accept bad framing.
Doing these simple things are politically powerful tools that should be used all the time.

Refusing to back down is as valid and effective a tool as compromise.

Idealism is just as valid and import as pragmatism.

They should be employed every time they're appropriate.

Donald Trump is an open white supremacist. If anyone treats calling him racist as even mildly controversial I cannot take them seriously.
I mean, for example: everything.
When Anderson Cooper plays the skepticism game in reaction to AOC’s straightforward acknowledgement of a clearly observable truth, he isn’t taking an unbiased position.

In fact he’s taking the position that Trump’s whole charade depends on.

If the richest among us find marginal taxes of 70% radical, wait until they hear what the alternatives are.
It’s an indication of how successful the radical oligarchist movement has been at reframing the public discourse, that something as common-sense as a 70% marginal rate for the highest brackets is considered a radical outlier.
Radical oligarchists have so taken over public discourse that people whose entire ethos and mission is consolidating over half the world's wealth in the hands of a few thousand call themselves "conservative" and nobody says anything.

Gold: Considering that we had a very strong Employment Report out of the US on Friday, #gold performed pretty well over the past 18 trading hours. At $1291/oz at the time of writing it is some $15 above its post-NFP plunge and only about $7 below Friday morning's high.

Gold: This strength in #gold is not coming from US equity market fears, as US futures are roughly flat.

Gold: Quite a volatile session overnight in #gold following some wild moves in JPY. Commentators are struggling to explain the FX moves but concerns about global growth on Apple's cut in sales outlook and illiquidity due to a Japanese holiday seem plausible resaons.

Gold: The daily picture is less noisy and #gold continues to move higher. The 14-day Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) in XAUUSD is beginning to look a little high, but not worryingly so.

Gold: Looking at #gold in euro terms, however, and it looks more extended with the 14-day RSI above 80.

Gold: Back in the office for the first time since before Christmas, its time to look back on #gold's recent performance and what may lie ahead.

Gold: the recent strength in gold has been helped by some weakness in the US dollar.

But as this chart shows, #gold has run ahead of the weakening dollar.

Gold: plotting its performance in a number of currencies is another way of demonstrating that the dollar has not been the only factor lifting #gold.

Gold: The delayed release of the COTR data from the CFTC saw changes in the week to last Tuesday 4 December, but considering the changes in Comex total open interest, not quite as large as I expected.

Gold: Tomorrow marks the 10-year anniversary of the failure of Lehman Brothers and, consequently, economists, market commentators and journalists have been rolling out their thoughts on both the financial crisis and the subsequent decade.

Gold: How did #gold fare through the crisis? This chart, from July 2008 to July 2009, shows no sign of gold moving rapidly higher? In fact, gold fell in the fourth quarter of 2008 as the dollar strengthened and gold was used as a source of liquidity (and sold.)

Gold: Physical #gold volumes on the Shanghai Gold Exchange round out a rather slow month, down 17% year on year. 1/3
Gold: Although we continue to hear that underlying demand is doing pretty well in China, efforts to better-control the use of gold in shadow financing may be contributing to a slowing in exchange volumes.
Gold: T+D volumes were also a bit soft in June, 10% lower than the average of 2018-to-date and roughly half the previous year's levels.
