Friends, the problem of statistics is that even if they worked (they don't), whatever is derived statistically ONLY applies to groups never to single individuals. You are not hiring a subcontinent, but a single individual. Variance determines the max.

Explaining the debt/death spiral. Some of my comments were spreading on social media (they was a a discussion in Congress). Debt servicing = 40% of the past deficit. Next year we will pay interest on that. Debt servicing will reach 70% ,80%, displacing other expenditures. On top of the fragility, there is an intergenerational transfer of liability, highly immoral (h/t Spitznagel). Note/Errata: total deficit north of 30 Bil is the accumulated deficit. (I mistakenly used the same word to describe current and accumulated).

From a near-empty Paris café (on the Place de la Sorbonne) on a Sunday morning: a teaser (in French) of the frth. conversation w/David Bessis on errors with IQ, asymmetries, & other bullshit by social "scientists". A Zoom-style conversation (in English) to follow.
