Bushonomics: DOWn 1
Not that the DOW is the end all and be all–after all, it’s fewer than 50 stocks–but, well (emphasis added) . . .
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

The Democratic Party bosses know perfectly well that many individual investors do things exactly backwards: when stock prices are soaring, they see people making money so they buy, then when prices drop, they get discouraged and sell. If the Democratic Party really cares about people, (humor me for a moment,) why haven’t they been reminding people that stocks may never be this affordable again? Could it be that their failure to do this stems from the same dynamic that has also stopped them from starting their own health insurance program – namely, that they don’t want to help people until they can do it in a way that consolidates their own power?
