    Some people joke about Carney’s lack of a “celebrity charisma”, or being “too boring”.

    Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current “historic chapter”.

    Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest “gotcha” moment, are deemed to be “awesome”.

    Give me boring, please. “interesting times” are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.


  • Sometimes I look at the politicians from my country, and think to myself “gosh, what a bunch of sleezebags. Even I could do a better job”. And then I see this and come back to reality.

    I mean, my politicians are still sleezebags, but not at this level, and that doesn’t necessarily correlate to my ability to actually do better than them with no actual experience.

    These folks are the me that didn’t stop at intrusive thoughts. Who thought that just because they were raised on silver spoons and bailed out at every blunder they knew better.
