The Age of the Unthinkable: Why the New World Disorder Constantly Surprises Us
And What We Can Do About It (Hardcover)
I particularly liked the ideas
of mash up, and the music reference, since we have done that in the past with
Moonglow/Picnic, which is beautiful. I appreciated being introduced to the Grey
Album and its mash up idea, however, it never compares to Moonglow/Picnic. My
thought led me to Eminem, and how wonderful a mash up with his rhythm and a
great song would be.Truly, I agree that we have to be resiliant,and people that have trouble buying a home because of many reasons, should be renters, to allow them the freedom to move to an area where they can get a job, if need be. This points out the danger of the Government wanting everyone to own a home. It is not necessarily right...another reason for our Government to get out of our lives.
Every decision we make causes a reaction, are we ready for that reaction, have we thought out what could, might happen, it is going to happen. Just like government employee contracts, during the good times, the unions can negotiate great deals, but no one ever thinks about the downside in Government, so the contracts are not tied to the up and down of the market. This is where the problem lies. A business can function by adjusting to ups and downs in a market, unless it has union contracts, for the same reason. We never think ahead, and put in our contracts that this is the deal, as long as we are making an income of such and such....
A good book for thinking and coming to conclusions about life .
