Progressive living in a rural community. My neighbors are a mystery to me.
Stability is often just momentum that hasn’t been questioned yet. If something feels stuck, nudge it slightly and observe what panics. That’s where the interesting options live, probably behind a door marked "do not". #gooderliving

You pull the tankers in
you pull the tankers out
you call "ceasefire!"
then you break it all about
you do the hokeypokey
and you turn those ships around

that's what it's all about!

You put some money in
you take more money out
you spook the futures markets
