Their finances, debt to GDP ration and wealth disparity look like '70s Argentina. Something Citi would invest in, just to get another bail-out.

A couple of good things. I went to see my orthopedist on Monday, and he put me on a 6 day steroid program, and after the first day, all of my pain is gone, and I can move around normally. And with the temps in the mid 70's (sorry Demeter), I can start getting my garden in. I didn't think I'd be able to with my back. Hell, I couldn't even load the dishwasher last week. At least that's a guarantee of some food.
Then there's these.
