Applying Electronics To Politics (or Vice Versa)

Constantly increasing disparity of wealth is akin to constantly
adding
a charge to one side of a capacitor. Sooner or later the dielectric
in the cap will breakdown and the voltage will suddenly equalize.
The
major difference with the internet is increasing disparity of wealth
is
like placing a naked/stripped cap into brine while trying to charge it
up.

The 0.01% media have an increasingly difficult job: keeping the
political debate off of economic issues just as economic issues
become
more and more important.

The 0.01% are going to have to offer Bob $chieffer some major bonuses
to ask the "tough" questions about naked nazi flag burner parades if
the 0.01% don't want wealth to be leveled.

Anyone here think Bob $chieffer can still help charge up the cap this
year?

What nonsense.

What nonsense.
Tocqueville even had a "charging-breakdown time" for western
countries: 50 years. He claimed this "law" held all the way back to
the 11 th Century.

You don't get 12 sig figs but political science is a lot more
mechanical - predictable than what the New York Times would have
everyone believe.
