Can I ask a marketing favour of the hotel industry? Can you come up with a better phrase than "Adults Only"? I quite like the idea of no kids, but this implies I'll have to spend my holiday in a gimp mask being molested by random Germans.

The Cold War concept of "containment" is back in vogue - with good reason &major differences. China is facing a demographic collapse, but its real danger is a fundamental misunderstanding of capitalism. the4717.com/post/containin…


“Look how well the economy is doing!” v. “Why are we so damned gloomy about it?” The answer may be that the data models and humans are asking different questions. the4717.com/post/the-uncer…
