    Thanks;
    but 100% wrong = ''have to raise taxes'' NO , can +cut spending\ that what's people that know how to balance a budget do it.:caution::caution: Worst thing about raising taxes is not just the money, its the control freaks that leech off high taxes. Sorry if some live in HI tax CA, ''please dont charge your EV'' even if it ruins your life. But if it ruins your life\ @ least they did not use hated fossil fuels.

    I guess the two books go hand in hand. The first deals with the low interest and easy credit we've experienced for the last 2 decades that eventually led to massive asset bubble (eg. inflation), which is what concerns the second book.

  4. On a less erudite level, I just finished the latest Gray Man book by Mark Greaney. Great read and very well written like the others in the series.

  5. Continuing with the theme, recently read The Terminal List and thought it was pretty good too.

    gonna see this?
    The Gray Man novel by Mark Greaney, film released on July 22, 2022.

    There have been several attempts to turn the novel into a film, initially with Christopher McQuarrie attached to direct in 2016.[1] After that version fell through, the project lay dormant until July 2020, when Netflix announced their plans to adapt it. Eventually, it was directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, with Joe Russo also writing the screenplay, and Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely performing a re-write. Starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Dhanush, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters, and Jessica Henwick, filming commenced in 2021 on a $200 million budget.[2][3][4] It was eventually released on July 22, 2022.

  7. I watched it on Netflix. Even though the plot from the books got heavily mutated in the screenplay, it was a fun flick. Chris Evans gives an entertaining over-the-top performance as the main villain and it appeared that Gosling was a credible Court Gentry.

    Seems like there could be sequels in the future...

    I don't think I've seen much of Ryan Gosling movies. It was quite enjoyable action hero entertainment,... with guns! It'll be an enjoyable contrast to see him as Ken in the Barbie movie.

    Ana de Armas star is rising. She portrayed her character well in the flick, especially when she shot him to put him in the trunk. Looking forward to her portrayal as Marilyn Monroe.

    edit: Now I remember why she looked so familiar, she was in the Blade Runner 2049

    OMG, you are nuts. You have not seen much of Ryan Gosling in movies, but you remember an unknown actress in one of his best movies, where she was a co-star? You are an odd bird. :)
