Really getting into Hadestown.
The meanest dog you'll ever meet, he ain't the hound dog in the street. He bares his teeth and tears your skin, but brother, that's the worst of him. The dog you really got to dread is the one that howls inside your head. It's him whose howling drives men mad, and a mind to its undoing.
You got a lonesome road to walk. It ain't along the railroad track! It ain't along the black-top tar you've walked a hundred times before! I'll tell you where the real road lies: Between your ears, behind your eyes. That is the path to Paradise, and, likewise, the road to ruin.

Blood for Stonks by Elizabeth Lopaatto and Sarah Jeong on the Verge.
Normal capitalism requires a working relationship with reality. Normal capitalism thrives on predictability. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy.
America produces the most ghoulish capitalists in the world, and not even they want this.
