Bah, humbug and labor statistics

Quote of The Day
 
The financial crisis killed small entrepreneurs as surely as Joseph Stalin killed the kulaks, and the roots of the economy are dead and dry.  - Spengler

Uncle Joe was absolutely right for killing the kulaks. Those were stupid looking things. They were for women who wanted to wear short skirts but didn't want anyone to see their panties.

I have been trying to think of the term Kulak for months. Of course you realize everyone reading this post is a "New Kulak". If not stopped, they will get around to you in good time Comrade. Wiki Kulak and see how many similarities you can find.

Haha. Right in the middle of reading Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago here Boss. Very apropos current events. Taking notes about how to sustain decades of prison and interrogation... not to mention the death of whole classes of people. Russia was born of ignorance and stayed that way. I console myself in remembering that flowers do still grow after massive forest fires...
