Give someone a fish, they’ll eat for a day.

Teach someone to fish, they’ll eat forever.

Teach everyone to fish, the marine ecosystem collapses and the only people who eat are the boat-builders and the bankers who bundled their boat-loans in complex derivatives and flogged them off before anyone figured out what was going on.

By the same artist, this one’s titled The Bankers’ Hanging.

Mah peeps, do you think there may be a message here? :D

So there’s this artist, Alex Schaefer, who makes a bunch of paintings of Chase Bank burning.

There’s just

so many of these

and I think it’s incredibly funny but

I just read this bit from the artist and

This is a "plein air" painting which means I set up my easel right across the street of this Chase bank in my city and painted it like it had caught fire. The police questioned me on the spot. Three weeks later Homeland Security was knocking on the door to my home. The question they kept asking me was "Do you hate these banks?" I can honestly say yes.

And I just think this is the greatest artist statement I’ve ever read.

What is your least favorite kind of tea?

I don’t recall the name of it, but it was this boggin floral stuff I had once at the Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire.

That’s gonna bother me now. Free Alzheimers screening!

I’ve been waiting the fucking years for an appointment with adult mental health services for an ADHD diagnosis. Maybe once I finally get the help I need I’ll have the spare mental bandwidth to care about person-first versus condition-first.

Behold, I did an art! Specifically, character art of Morta, the protagonist and chief chaos muppet of my kids scifi novel-in-progress, Morta Felix. Her heart is in the right place; it's just a pity about her awful, awful brain.

Billionaire U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he doesn't "understand why" unpaid federal workers need money

U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is puzzled as to why 800,000 furloughed federal workers need to visit food banks to keep their families from starving, when they can simply get a loan.

From Reuters:

Asked about their struggles, Ross told CNBC: “I know they are, and I don’t really quite understand why.”

“The banks and the credit unions should be making credit available to them,” he said, noting that the government would give federal employees back pay. “There really is not a good excuse why there really should be a liquidity crisis.”

Wilbur Ross is has a net worth of around $700 million, according to Forbes. Before becoming Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Ross was co-chair of the Bank of Cyprus, which is a laundromat for dirty Russian money. From The Dallas News:

The country of Cyprus has a long history as a laundromat for dirty money, particularly from Russia. Cyprus is referenced 530,937 times in the Panama Papers, and the Bank of Cyprus, the country’s largest bank, is referenced 4,657 times. And the cast of characters linked to the bank and President Donald Trump is troubling.
