Mike’s Blog Round-Up

It’s Stupid’s Economy
By Tengrain — October 3, 2026

Above, Paula West performs, When that man is dead and gone. No reason for this song. No, really.

Paul Krugman asks us about the economy, “Who You Gonna Believe?”

Michael in Norfolk asserts that The Felon is repeating a Biden mistake on the economy.

Hackwhackers says the economy is working... only for the orange clown's crime family and the Epstein Class oligarchs.

And speaking of oligarchs, The Verge tells us that Amazon wrote a scary, threatening letter warning communities not to block data centers.

Bonus Track: It's time to take a Magazine Break! Not gonna lie, this was a rabbit hole for me.
