"Here Are America's Most Underfunded Corporate Pensions"
*"Here Are America's Most Underfunded Corporate Pensions"* by Tyler Durden "We spend a lot of time talking about the public pension crisis because, well, it's a massive $5 - $8 trillion dollar overhang on the economy and one which will undoubtedly result in some heartache for investors at some point in the future. Unfortunately, there are some problems that are too large for even U.S. taxpayers to fix and, with an underfunding of $52,000 (mid-point) per household, somehow we suspect this is one of them.

Trump Ends Syrian Regime Change Campaign

It doesn’t matter that that the program had failed to achieve its ostensible goal, and that the US-vetted rebels had for the most part defected to al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, and ISIS. Atrocities committed by the “moderate” rebels go unmentioned. That real experts on the r... more »

The Three Stages of Ownership
A good piece on the whole problem of ownership. It is my contention that the key business of governance is the creation of forms of ownership and sometimes their actual retirement as well.

A proper applied science of ownership would be revolutionary and truly change everything. For example the south China Sea needs an international title creation mandate in which operators earn the right to lay down arti... more »
