@Brad_Setser Makes sense.
Then there’s very little they can do atm except notifying bondholders that they won’t be making the $1.34bn Mar-20 payment & requesting a restructuring. With the scale & pace of FX outflows so far, an eventual drying up of #BDL’s reserves during 2020 is inevitable.

Oh you’re a geophysicist?

...what... is that?!
Even other geoscientists rarely know what geophysics actually is, nor what we do.

But to be fair, it’s pretty much dark magic rituals with a scientific flare. It’s all the least-intuitive bits of math applied to the parts of rocks you don’t notice, for results you rarely see.
You know some of the geophysics sub-specialities:
Seismologists who look at earthquakes & volcanologists who look at volcanoes are in disaster-news frequently.

& many geoscientists are aware they hire geophysicists for oil & gas exploration, even if they’re not quite sure why.

I tend to be cynical about the idea of Late Capitalism, but an Uber driver last night told me a story which made my jaw hit the floor.

He picked me up, and apologised for the congestion.

"You see all these cars, though? They're owned by the same person". (1/9)
Me: "What do you mean? Aren't they all ubers and lyfts?"

Him: "Yeah, but the drivers lease the cars off the same guy. I met him." (2/9)
"He's from Virginia, and leases out thousands of cars to drivers who for financial or background reasons can't otherwise buy or rent a car that meets, say, Uber's rules."

Me: "Oh, ok. Well, that makes sense."

Him: "Yeah? Here's the thing, though." (3/9)

1)Last night got the mail.Letter from EDS geneticist w/summary report of lab tests/visit arrived.

There were so many glaring innacuracies of my medical history & conditions it was outrageous.

1 typo not ok but forgiveable. There were 3.

First I got mad about the incompetence.
2) But that level of incompetence extends to the Doctor who signed off b/c he also approved the notes OR wasn't paying attention to anything I said during visit.

Let's say I called her back to tell her ALL the mistakes. She'd just get mad.
3) Or what if I call that Doctor or my own Primary care Dr. Who was also CCd on this letter to explain the inaccuracieis of the report?

The notetaking assistant who wrote the letter would need to go on warning or be fired ASAP. How did she get this job in the first place?

NEW: KEY TORY MANIFESTO PLEDGES

- WAB back before Christmas
- No increases to income tax, national insurance or VAT
- NI threshold raised to £9,500
- £2bn pothole fund
-end car parking charges for NHS staff on night shifts/families of terminally ill
-£1bn for childcare
Could be rabbits tomorrow but relatively thin. Tory gambit is clearly to have a steady as she goes pitch, country has had enough upheaval and will look kindly on that vs Labour transformation. Could well be right. But not much to govern on til 2024.
In many ways, that’s what “Get Brexit Done” means. It’s a code for not just ending Brexit- but for making politics stop. Makes sense then to promise very little. We thus have v little idea, perhaps less than any other recent PM, of what Johnson would do with a majority.

what if I told you that historically speaking, whenever there's a big movement of people doing truck farming (growing fruits & veggies at small/medium scale as a cash crop)

it's a major indicator that that society has a big fat land baron problem
Fruits & veggies are something where you can make a lot of $ fairly quickly (compared to other crops), on tiny plots with very little capital ... but a shit-ton of labor and knowledge/skill.
So the existence of lots small fruit & veggie farms just implies there are a lot of people who:

• Have badass logistical skills

• Are so desperate for cash that they'll break themselves to get it

• But can't buy land, or can only buy a tiny slip of it.
