Fine
Print: The
executive chairman of the World Economic Forum says that the
worldwide crash of commodities prices will spread “economic woe”
across the world sending a wave of immigrants to Europe that would
“eclipse today's refugee crisis.”
Say/Do:
After telling the debating society that she was serious about
cracking down on Wall Street she has scheduled a Wall Street
fundraiser for four days before the Iowa caucus. And why not,
they've already paid
her $2.9 million for chatting with them.
Message
In A... If you
buy a barrel of oil, have them drop it off in the barrel. The barrel
is worth more than the oil in it.
Words
Is Words: The
Japanese Foreign Minister says that the women from conquered
countries
who were forced to work as whores in Japanese Army-run brothels were
not sex slaves, they were just “comfort women.” Wonder if he'd
say the same thing if it'd been his mother.
Pants
Suit On Fire:
The Clintons – both Hillary and the little Ms – have been “less
than completely truthful” in their characterization of Sanders'
healthcare proposal.
Tidings
of Comfort
and
Joy: Speakers
at the World Economic Forum expect that robots, AI and automation in
the world's 15 leading countries will take over 5 million jobs.
There is a small and fleeting concern as to where these five million
former consumers will end up.

Pound Weakling:
The latest national polls show that Bernie would defeat either Trump
or Cruz, while Hillary would lose to Cruz. She may well lose to
Bernie before that.
Priorities:
Citigroup says its huge increase in quarterly profits was due to a
sharp drop in legal costs as they finish buying off prosecution for
various mortgage-related issues.
Spoon,
Gag Me With A:
Marco Rubio says
he rushed out on Christmas Eve to buy a gun as “the
last line of defense between ISIS and my family.”

Also, been meaning to mention, it occurred to me that what if the Fed's 25 bps discount rate increase was the planned head fake, so that they can next bring it back down again, and thus create a profit opportunity for Wall Street via the whipsaw. File this under "every political act can be traced to a con intended to fleece the people".
File Under: Quite true...the perplexing part is how long do we let this go on (because everybody knows) this slight of hand merely covers the criminals in charge so they can rob the rest of us via their control of money.
You have to work for yours while their supply is 'limitless'.
When the corporate owned media crowns Hillary the next president, what are 'you' going to do about it? Same thing we did when they coronated W, nuthin.
They 'cow' that Wall St keeps milk/bilking has been dead a long time, but again I'm not pointing out anything that everybody doesn't already know...so the real question is what happens when the hand-waving stops?
re "Tidings...": Lots of assumptions there, as in assuming the companies that produce or use said automation are still around in 2020, not to mention any demand for the products the robots might make. But I'm sure the same folks will tell us that technology will save us from that too. Somehow.
@ kwark: You are spot on with your observation, in fact, that is the point CK is making, robots don't buy what they make [which doesn't matter to the privileged few, they have'magic pens' that will all the money they need into existense.]
If they could 'will' the products that make life luxurious into existence, there'd be a bounty on the rest of us.
Worse, we'd be 'illegal'. [After all, it is THEIR planet! Just ask 'em!]
