the music goes round and round

Is Ross Gittins Australia's premier heterodox economist?

No screaming lefty (oohh bad, evil, etc) but just common sense expressed plainly. We have a multitude of economic problems (or issues or challenges if you prefer) but the orthodxy keeps saying we need more of the same 'reform'.


You know that saying about stupidity? You know, doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result?

Ring any bells?

Sure does ring bells. The 40 or so PC users I support at work are almost all like that. Questions I have include:

- How the hell do these people tie their shoelaces? (actually lots of them wear high heels and look ridiculous, but I guess it neatly gets them out of the shoelace situation. Coincidence? Make up your own mind...)

- Why do they not even bother to read the messages on the screen that are telling them that there is a problem? When asked, they'll invariably deny the appearance of any such message, of course

End rant. Stupid would hurt them if they didn't breed so damn rapidly. :-(
