    All right, it's PK unchained. The post after chaos monkeys is The Ghost of Banking Panics Future, another excellent whack at the insanity afoot.
  • Can someone please get me the substack URL for Krugman? Thanks!
  • @Mark- Thanks much, my man. Have a happy Christmas!
  • All like that to you and yours my good man.
  • Help an old man out, @Old_Joe. Whatever is a substack?
  • I'm guessing that it's kinda like the first chief associate stack, or something close...

    (Thanks for the straight line):)
  • If it weren’t for @Mark’s link, I’d have never found whatever in creation I was looking for. Now that PK has my email handle, I seem to have access to a whole stack of reading material. I get that. However, @ Old_Joe, where does the “sub” come in? I’m afraid I’ll miss something, even though it will take me days to read just the “stack.” Good thing I’m retired.
  • I thought that you were kidding. I'm familiar with "substack" because we receive regular email commentary from a couple of other sources. Apparently "substack" is an enterprise which is set up to promote and distribute such material. Why they use that name and how they make their money I have no idea.
  • I think we can agree that they do not sell tennis shoes, bibles or university degrees. You're on your own after that.
  • @Old_Joe: sometimes I play dumb. I did not know the origin of the term and was too lazy to look it up. Somehow my wife can see right through my attempts to say I had no idea what she wanted done and therefore did not do it.
  • That's always a danger but sometimes it does work- always worth a shot.:)
