I’d have really liked to have been in the room when all those architects got together mid-century and asked “So what is modern?” so that I could tackle the sad fellow before he raised his hand and answered “Big concrete boxes strike me as modern. Don’t you guys think?”.

(“Anyone else? …. OK, big boxes it is then…”)

Obama Offers to Cut Corporate Tax Rate to 28%

A great idea - if all loopholes are closed, corporate subsidies ended, and lobbyists barred from influence. It is true that the US corporate tax rate is *even* higher than in tax heavy Denmark.

This is crony capitalism.

ldsgeek:

Crony capitalism - a capitalist economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials.

I’d seen the Goldman Sachs diagram but not the rest.  This is an excellent visual illustration of the fact that we do not have a free market economy in America.

The Changing Face of Housing: #CityTalk II

Hey folks, 

Last minute notice on the Secret Republic news ticker, but I’ll be joining Joe Peach of This Big City and Rashiq Fataar of Future Cape Town in the twittersphere for a live chat discussion on the topic of “The Changing Face of Housing”. Given the global cast of contributors (well beyond us three - it’d be lovely if you could join us), I expect some lively discourse. Follow the hashtag #citytalk and please feel free to chime in with your thoughts, comments, questions, and visionary ideas. The party is set to begin, well, 1 minute….

(For a primer, check out the article I wrote for This Big City last week. My twitter handle is @kaseyklimes)

Beautiful Bicycle Monday: Apartment Move Edition

(Hopefully this explains why it’s been a little quiet here this week - just moved into a new apartment here in inner Nørrebro. You wouldn’t believe how much you can fit into a good cargo bike!)
