10 Another very Autumnal piece today. I like the mill-at-sunrise (or is it sunset?) and use of color. This one is worth embiggening, as it brings a lot of the foreground detail into visibility.

Posted by: Buzzion at April 22, 2020 09:41 AM (Sg/64)

54 I like how Dupre silhouettes the windmill with the dimmed sun. It really brings out the age of the windmill. I also like how in the dark foreground, Dupre has added smallish fires to unify the regions of the painting. The oranges of the sky are splattered in the dark landscape--a small one just right of the windmill itself and a larger one bottom center. It's interesting that the two main fires are directly under the large fire of the sun. Finally, I like that Dupre placed the fireball of the sun behind the large black shape of the windmill. The sun is present, it is the main light source of the painting, but the artist dulled its intensity and dominance to allow the whole work to speak.

Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon

And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of AOC's mind!

73 This painting can be a metaphor for the dying of the old ways (windmills) and the dawning of the modern age.

Or it can be a metaphor for the dying of civilization represented by windmill technology, and the regression to Quest For Fire.

74 Some were asking if this is sunrise or sunset. I think this one depends on you. For me, I see a sunset, mainly because of the windmill. It's old and warn. The hut looks like a shanty. There are signs of life, i.e. the fires, but they are small. The sun itself is very dim, not the radiant life-giving orb it is. But I also don't feel a pessimistic mood about this work. It feels to me as a matter-of-fact, cycle-of-life image. Cie la vie, and all that.

These are not PPP loans. EIDLs.

The points of camp fires make me think of settling in for the night after a work day, relaxing for food, drink and socializing. (Yes, I'm projecting.)

The way Dupre captures the calm, evening sky with the yellows and oranges is relaxing and creates the silhouette for the landscape. It's all about the mood, not the details.

I have two teens close (thankfully!) and close in age. I thank GOD every day they get along and have each other. they have a lot of friends who are onlies - this has been tragic for them. they do still play xbox and stuff like that, talk to the other guys etc

my youngest was actually a twin but we lost his twin in utero. he's so funny the way he physically clings to his older sib. anyway they are pretty introverted and doing well but still. it's very hard.

not to mention kids graduating college/post grad and just thinking "what now?!"

For a huge number of private businesses and jobs, that's exactly what it has turned out to be. I know of dozens of businesses just in my own not so big town that will never reopen.

Posted by: Tom Servo at April 22, 2020 10:14 AM

Same thing here Tom.
At least a dozen I personally know. the woman dumping BOA is brilliant at business and she was a bit prepared for it but is still having to micromanage every penny. She's (rightly) worried suppliers are going to fail.
If I were younger I'd be seeking the opportunities, but being over 29 and Mrs D recovering from breast cancer, I'm stuck.

PA - Wisconsin - Michigan

we are the states (separating out Cali) with the worst Governors, making the worst decisions, and essentially torturing us all on purpose.

WHAT ELSE DO THESE THREE STATES HAVE IN COMMON?

Yes, we all voted for Trump in 2016 (I think?) and we are "swing states" with very very liberal hack governors.

Those hacks are making an example of us. Either Barr helps us (ha!) or we are gonna have to take action. It's coming. Definitely in PA it's coming. Wolf is hiding in DC - he knows.

288 I agreed with your basic sentiments except your position that this will be worse than the Great Depression. Somebody will take their place.
Posted by: Kilroy wasn't here at April 22, 2020 10:19 AM (EV+4+)

There's a lot of mythology about the Great Depression. If you look at the unemployment numbers, we're probably already as bad as 1933 right now, which was the peak of the Depression. If we cut trade with China, which could easily happen, we're going to see the agricultural sector collapse next, just like it did then. We produce far more than we can consume ourselves.

We're keeping the stock market afloat and big companies alive because this time, we have chosen to create several trillion dollars of cash and pump it out into the business world. John Maynard Keynes said that would work, but no one really knows. It's never been tried on this scale.

Undoubtedly economics students and professors will be studying this event for centuries to come. Well, for at least as long as our descendants remember how to read and write.

315 I hope everyone is taking a lesson reading about how the banks are fucking everyone they can.

Unless something amazing happens (like my plan), in about 2 to 3 months the real shit will hit the fan. 25 million will be out of work. Many more than that will be out of money and stop paying their bills.

People who believe they have a cushion with credit cards they can draw from, equity lines, or even just the untapped equity in their paid off homes will have nothing. As soon as people stop paying their bills, the banks will shut off the taps for everyone but the richest Americans.

Have a $10,000 credit line on your BoA Visa card and a $1000 balance? They'll send you a letter that your new credit limit is $800 and that you're over your limit by $200 - Pay immediately.

Mortgage foreclosures will be through the roof and no new mortgages will be made for years.

The only thing you can do to prepare is to max out every credit vehicle you have and go totally to cash. Make sure that cash is somewhere that can't be tapped to repay any of the credit.

If everything miraculously works out and everything is fine 6 months from now, use the cash to pay back the credit you tapped along with the small interest penalty.

If everything turns to shit, horde the cash, stop paying any debt bill and use the cash to help keep your family safe and fed.

Posted by: Someguy at April 22, 2020 10:52 AM (Zm+LZ)

I'm not saying people are going to have any trouble taking money out of banks. The banks will not fail.

What I'm saying is that you should access all the available credit you have, turn that into money in the bank, then transfer the money into a bank you don't have a debt relationship with. That way, if everything goes bad, the bank can't just reach into your account and grab enough to make them whole again.

We spent a lot of time, after the Enron debacle, trying to find ways to rein in financial mismanagement by for-profit entities. Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) was the gov't attempt to do that.

By and large, however, non-profit entities are exempt from this oversight. We know that politicians use non-profits as a back-door for pay-for-play. We know that non-profits have at least as much of an effect on how we live our lives - either by Common Core in our school, pushing politically correct ESG principles to big corporations, or a lot in between.

Hospitals and universities are non-profits, and we know about the Gates Foundation and the network of non-profits that aid liberal causes.

We ignore the effect of these institutions on our political discourse at our peril. They have a direct pipeline into the our public broadcasting, and are more powerful than anything conservative media has to offer.

Bluntly SOX compliance is not cheap, and publicly traded companies have the option of not going public for that additional financing. Requiring compliance would be extremely punitive for any smaller non-profits, though very feasible for larger ones such as the college endowments.

The old man inside the pool upon a rowboat sees the flare dropping towards him, he says : Thank God.

If you were just watching fake news cnn, you would've seen a fake reporter in Atlanta wearing a mask talking to John King in the studio who is not wearing a mask (also in Atlanta, or in New York) and the fake news story is how bad it is in Georgia.

502 The painting looks like the scene in the movie where the beautiful young princess has escaped from the vampire lord's castle, and is desperately looking for refuge as evening comes on, because as soon as the sun sinks Count Manfred is coming after her. This is what she finds. I imagine fleeting shadows and creaking will be prominent in the claustrophobic next scene.

Color coded triage is a standard used in mass casualty events. Idiots who don't have the correct knowledge (Fauci and Birx included) are making devasting decisions all based on their egos " I'm in charge and I am right"

I just read JJ saying that the media is apparently portraying these protests as "pro-Trump," because many Trump supporters are doing it.

But, as he points out, many of the protesters are certainly Democrats, so it follows that many of their Democrat viewers are also sympathetic to them. If you keep hammering on them that this idea they agree with is a Trump thing, you're practically putting out an ad for the man. Idiots.

First take your helmet off an breath deeply to see if you can smell any contamination
Second stick you face in the petri dish and see how close you can get tot he substrate without touching it.
Third, when in doubt...taste test.
