Gil The Jenius: The Sky Fell Long Ago

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-sky-fell-long-ago.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. The Sky Fell Long Ago. Puerto Rico bonds are now junk. But that's just Standard and Poor's opinion, right? The other two bond rating agencies are bound to see it differently, right? But the U.S. of part of A. is going to step in, right? But We have solutions, right? Is there any ray of light? A few Here's one. But what's going to happen? Exodus. More of it. Stagnation. More of it. Now The Ova and his late-to-the-party hyenas are trying not go all Pollito Chico. Http:/...

Gil The Jenius: Puerto Rico As A Province Of China: An Extended Look With Captain High

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/12/puerto-rico-as-province-of-china.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. Puerto Rico As A Province Of China: An Extended Look With Captain High. From a recent post in which I suggested that Puerto Rico should become a province of China came some comments made by Captain High. In the exchange the good Captain brought up some questions and points that merited a more thoughtful set of responses than the space allotted by Blogger. So I moved the salient section here, with Captain High's comments in bold. And Mine in som. Thinks is a code.

Gil The Jenius: Power(balling) Our Economy, Boricua Style

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/10/powerballing-our-economy-boricua-style.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. Power(balling) Our Economy, Boricua Style. Look, it's no secret My island is deep in debt. Bankrupt, even. Forty-plus years of political pillaging stacked atop a colonial economy trying to play 3D chess with tic-tac-toe tools and a populace more focused on gossip and innuendo than gains and innovation makes for a sad portrait of heavily-despairing economic distress. Yes, Powerball. A lottery. Or in Our case, another. Lottery that balls Us. Then We have that abortion o...

Kool Kidz Memo: December 2008

http://koolkidzmemo.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Monday, December 22, 2008. How Cool Is This. Aston Martin and Lord Foster. Will be re-designing London's symbol. I wonder why more American cities don't use a double decker bus? Especially when the bus has "reconstituted leather upholstery . . . and wooden floors." Civilized transportation. The only thing missing is a wet bar. Of course I might not never get off the bus in that case. But at least there would be a designated driver. Safaris Have Flushable Toliets? They do on the Abercrombie and Kent.

Gil The Jenius: Puerto Rico's New Tax """Reform""" Explained

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/11/puerto-ricos-new-tax-reform-explained.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. Puerto Rico's New Tax " "Reform" " Explained. This won't take long. We currently have a Sales/Use Tax, called IVU locally, equivalent to 7%, with 5.5% being "national" and 1.5% being "municipal.". Now the IVU tax is applied at retail/use, but in effect, as I predicted looooong. Ago (you can look it up), the price impact was not 7% or even 8%, but actually 13.2% overall. Few things economists really know and can prove. And the IVU tax did not- repeat: did not. The idea...

Gil The Jenius: Solving Puerto Rico 008: Michael Castro

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/01/solving-puerto-rico-008-michael-castro.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. Solving Puerto Rico 008: Michael Castro. There are only a handful of local bloggers that I admire. First, because I know it is not easy to blog extensively and with quality content. And second, because I stand upon My (self-defined) lofty perch and seek to use My standards, more journalistic than entertainment-oriented, to evaluate other blogs. To use an analogy, I'm more "BBC than MTV." Deal. It may take many more years, but someday, most likely by external fiat, We ...

Gil The Jenius: It's Not News, It's Crap, And My Brethren (Refuse To) Know It

http://gilthejenius.blogspot.com/2014/11/its-not-news-its-crap-and-my-brethren.html

Puerto Rico's best blog and vidcast. It's Not News, It's Crap, And My Brethren (Refuse To) Know It. About every 3 months, someone criticizes Me for not watching local news, listening to local talk radio shows and/or not reading a local paper in print or digital format. I don't bother with any of it so that 95-98% of the year, I promenade through life in quieter contemplation of more important things. Which is pretty much everything. Now some people might think But the news is about important stuff. Need ...
