Elayne Boosler once described the near-empty interior of her refrigerator noting the foods that were possibly beyond their freshness date. She asked one pointed question: How can you tell if yoghurt is spoiled?
Today I read an even more head-scratching comment: How can you tell if the Federal government is sh*t down?
In both cases, I’m stumped. But if I had to guess I would say that the yoghurt was okay but the Federal government was definitely spoiled.
But capitalism is a game of brinksmanship, survival by being willing to risk just slightly more than your competitor is. Of course the world would come to this with both sides driving themselves (and everybody else) off a cliff.
