Keynes was a remarkable man. He worked at the Versailles conference when the allies piled on to Germany such huge economic burdens that it was bound to lead nowhere good. *Checks notes, see Hitler.

@pjadams10.bsky.social and I were at the Tesla Takedown rally at the local Tesla dealership yesterday. There were about 350 people with banners, bells and chants
The rally is every Sunday and attendance has grown steadily from fewer than a dozen a few weeks ago
We will be out again on April 5th!
