Thanks John! Economies planned by Radicals and Academics, people who have never picked up a hammer, cast a gear, or harvested corn! Focus on the essentials, I guess, bread and vodka.
Chelm was a village of fools, fools young and old. One night someone spied the moon reflected in a barrel of water. The people of Chelm imagined it had fallen in. They sealed the barrel so that the moon would not escape. When the barrel was opened in the morning and the moon wasn't there, the villagers decided it had been stolen. They sent for the police, and when the thief couldn't be found, the fools of Chelm cried and moaned.
From The Snow in Chelm, by Isaac Bashevis Singer
I tomorrows “press conference” about the coal plant a few towns over? The one that provides all the electric to Chelm? I hope so.
Great article.
