When there is so little common sense today, Bill's articles are a refreshing daily dose. Helps me stay sane.

Why is it that, when presented with options for addressing a problem, Biden always seems to choose the option that is worst for the country? Exhibit A -- the federal gas tax holiday and pumping down of the strategic oil reserve. Neither will affect gas prices much, if at all, but will cause more inflation and reduce our ability to respond to a crisis.

Wouldn't make a difference if it was a donkey or elephant in that seat of power. You don't think he actually wakes up in the morning and decides the fate of the world do you? He is told what to do, by those in actual power. The ones that still need the fake money to flow, inflation be damned.

It is the theme and title of Bill's latest missive. They (whoever is sitting in that throne), will NOT keep their fingers off the "print" button. They will never author a book by this title. They will ultimately, be the ruin of all major governments, as they only are taking care of themselves and those nearest them. Until revolutions or scenarios like the ones in Argentina, be the norm of the day. Maybe even changing USD for Rubles, to buy a loaf of bread.

Just as thought, you being a lover of history, this may be a piece of it you'd enjoy! Sainte!

Sean's Bar is the oldest continually operated bar in the world, dating from 900. May be worth a little trip, eh? https://www.seansbar.ie/

And yes, I do enjoy your ramblings and your wine. If it ever cools off enough here for Will to ship it....
