Before that even. I bought Essays After Eighty linked below and he began writing poetry when he was 15 which was around 1944. He was US Poet Laureate in 2006. An incredible body of work.

Thank you for doing the research I was just about to do. What delicious writing.

In my mind, the ITTs of the world compete with community colleges for students. Are admissions requirements drastically different between the two types of schools? If not, why do people object to for-profit colleges? It seems like there i

But it's not a business, not in its current implementation. Right now it's a implicit government protected monopoly for lots and lots of things. Case in point: EpiPens which are in the news today. When the government makes it h

Will they? Or will they use to just do more buybacks? I'm not sure I trust any company to refocus after layoffs when they practically just announced a huge temporary gift to shareholders. http://www.recode.net/2016&#x

As mentioned below, the content is still available on PBS, PBS.com and the PBS app. It's not like this is locked into Amazon only.

John Mauldin and Worth Wray are two really strong voices for the high yield debt problem. I have learned an incredible amount from them and trust them far more than Zero Hedge on such topics. ZH is the frontline pulse but if you don'

+1 for X Country and Outlaw Country on Sirius. Also, take any artist from the lists above, start a station on Pandora and you will get a wonderful lesson into today's musical storytellers.

Adding to the list, mostly Texas artists but Guy Clark (leaving us soon), Robert Earl Keen, Slaid Cleaves, James McMurtry, Hayes Carll. These are true storytellers in the vein of Merle and worth looking into.

I also apply negative visualization but people don't like to hear about that. :-) I try to do without things, I fast regularly to know what hunger is about (plus it's probably good for me) and at least mentally think about what

Another loophole is to always treasure what you have. I bought a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe in 2009 because I really enjoyed the car I test drove. I still drive that car today with 135K miles on it. At least once a week, when I get in, I try

Part of that collective is the employee. We all have influence over our situation and the employee is never blameless. This "victim complex" can be just as detrimental as the failure of any of the three people you listed. It&#x

Once upon a time, cash hoarding was called "saving". But the central banks of the world have declared war on savers so I guess we need a new term for it.

In a future world of no cash, Craigslist will probably be black market underground bartering more than it will be about the sale of items. Probably isn't high on the priority list of people like William Buiter who would like to see ca

While it sounds like fantasy, there is a strong movement at many levels to get rid of cash entirely in the name of safety and security. I'm not sure about burying cash in the desert versus harder assets but when they start charging th

His essay "Sabbath" is a graceful look at what that tradition meant to him. It has inspired me to start a practice of "Technological Sabbath", putting away items of technology each Saturday evening at sunset and not pic
