It’s an anomaly! Like trying to explain willie mays to a young person today it doesn’t add up, but ohhhh it adds up quite simply and it reflects a current mindset that’s so stunted and self dehumanizing. 600 plus homers at candlestick half the time? Good god, how bout mays plays his entire career in Boston where he can bunt it out !! +? I say +175, let’s say mays didn’t lose two years in service of the Korean War during his prime!! +? I say 100, ok sports fans let’s grow willie up in the steroid era, ok so he’s in his prime during the canseco era, gets 6 extra power years as a DH, while maxing out on the white cream? +? +? Let’s add 3 years at 40 hrs, +120so willie mays, was like 600 + 100 + 175 + 120 = 995 career homers not unreasonable!! Lol lol and don’t get me started on the greatest, pitching career stats look similar to Tim lincecum and the dominance was real though relatively short lived, 7 or so great years, difference is the Babe then after blowing out the arm , became the greatest home run hitter ever. And it was the small ball era!! That’s just impossible right to have two careers like Babe, pretty hard to compare him with ANYBODY that’s why Othani is so incredible just giving us a small taste of what that would have been like. I’d trade all future baseball games for a chance to watch Ruth once live in his prime pitching and once hitting!! I saw willie often as a kid…

If there really is a place called China, and it’s really got the ghost cities, algorithms are freaking running sprints on account of the excess capacity that represents! Surreal as it sounds, China needing workers? Empty factories? Demand but no supply? No immigration not a good policy combined with one child policy in a world where you need capital $$ credit to build. Very contradictive and predictive but most of all it’s reflective indicative of a false reality of inflation with no resource shortage? Intentional supply disruption. Displacing workforces covid snowballing. I see 1) pent up demand 2) the ability to over produce 3) untapped labor 4) a temporary flighty economy. Our presidential advertising is weak, countering all his points with reality and context destroy bidens inflation plan. It’s about deflating our dollar slowing the growth of entitlements blah blah selling weapons bla blah looking at what’s done compared to what’s said…why not say, I’m killing the dollar on purpose, so the debt only cost us fifty cents on the dollar to eliminate!! Yah you starve and go broke, well more broker along the way but come on man…you didn’t think you’d get all this without sacrificing? Lol lol good god
