  6. A quotation from Chamfort

    Someone said to Donne, the English satirist, “Thunder against the sins, but spare the sinners.” “What,” he said, “damn the cards and pardon the card-sharps?”
     
    [On disait au satirique anglais Donne: « Tonnez sur les vices, mais ménagez les vicieux. – Comment, dit-il, condamner les cartes, et pardonner aux escrocs? »]

    Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
    Products of Perfected Civilization [Produits de la Civilisation Perfectionnée], Part 2 “Characters and Anecdotes [Caractères et Anecdotes],” ¶ 721 (1795) [tr. Merwin (1969)]

    #Capital is even above the #law.

  8. #AP calling these #market euphoria-blinded #gamblers "investors" marks a new low in financial reporting. They are, indeed, "betting" not investing. Don't insult the profession.

    Investors are #betting #Musk & #Tesla will make a fortune under #tRump even as threats mount
    "this latest bet seems particularly risky. Musk says the true value of company lays in a future of Tesla robots, thousands of them possibly by the end of the year, & in unsupervised, #driverless vehicles"
