    To be fair to Texas's complete insanity regarding gold bars, it sounds like a lot of it occurred around the same time that people were concerned the US might not raise the debt ceiling and would default on their loans, which makes investing your dollars into gold seem more sensible.

    I have no desire to be fair to Texas. They certainly aren't being fair to the rest of us.

    It's kinda gone away a bit now but several of the senators and talking heads who were really talking up the debt crisis and financial insecurity had a lot of money invested in various gold-scamming businesses

    By talking up gold as a never-fail purchase they were making a shitton of cash for themselves.

    on the other hand, if you really believed in an inevitable mildly inflationary debt crisis, it'd be sensible to put your portfolio in gold

    Wouldn't it almost always be more sensible to put your portfolio in, like, non-American companies though? I mean, there's no way Rick Perry would be able to argue for investing Texas's education budget in foreign markets, but that's got to have a better ROI than gold.

    if you go full austrocrazy you'd say that fed reserve/ecb qe was fueling a global asset bubble

    BC, do you do a comic strip? Because if not, you totally should.

    I know that I have the artistic skill to do one at the point, as well as the like... fast..ness.., but I genuinely don't have an idea and I'm not really interested in just doing a diary one. I'm not witty enough.

    I'd do one if someone else with a similar level of genuine motivation would write it, but I've never found anybody actually willing to do that when they realized what kind of work would be necessary

    There's loads of people here you might be able to team up with, there's a web comic thread in Graphic Violence for this.

    http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/50934/comic-creators-thread-ways-to-stay-motivated-creative-and-productive

    Unfortunately that thread seems not to be particularly active. Interesting part of the forum to poke around in though

    BC you're in the general Western MA area, right? There are a bunch of local people who'd be down for team-ups as well I'm pretty sure. It's quietly a hub of aspiring webcomic people thanks to Topatoco.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one, although most of the issues with A&M was athletics (JOHNNY FUCKING FOOTBALL /s) and administration. The only academic stupidity was pretty awful though; they changed engineering from "you are accepted to X department" to "you are accepted to engineering, and compete to get into any department" which they immediately reverted because it was awful for the students, admissions, the atmosphere, and every departments scholarship process.
