5/25    "There is little available evidence that the United States has more
        relative mobility than other advanced nations. If anything, the data
        seem to suggest the opposite. Using the relationship between parents'
        and children's incomes as an indicator of relative mobility, data show
        that a number of countries, including Denmark, Norway, Finland, Canada,
        Sweden, Germany, and France have more relative mobility than does the
        United States."

        \_ After unions and WWII, manufacturing jobs overpaid for low-skill work.
           Now globalization is letting anyone else with the same set of skills
           do those jobs, for relatively less in wages (though well paid in their home
           country.) Getting an education and a job in industries that are America's
           strengths is the path to prosperity. Cutting student loan subsidies was
           a huge mistake.

        Most people think Free Market is not fine the way it is

        \_ I wish I had saved this graph that compared retail space per
           capita between Britain, Sweden and the United States.  We had
           something like 20x-30x more retail space per capita which suggests
           there are a lot more store closings coming up.

10/27   I'd like to go to China one day but I heard that people are assholes
        there. For example, everything has a 3-tier pricing. If you're
        a Caucasian, you get a special bi-ren price. If you're an outsider
        like Taiwanese, Singaporean, Mayasian, etc, you get a special
        hua-chiaw price. If you're a mainlander, you get the original
        price. There are exceptions of course (e.g. Caucasian who speaks
