Potpourri -- February 10, 2019

Wealth concentration. Link here. Also archived.

Riparian, a "Bakken word." From the weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal this weekend:

Bird-watching: record number of birds on the patio yesterday eating the bread and bird seed Sophia and I put out for them:

• two male blue jays (seldom see both of them show up at the same time)
• three dark-eyed juncos
• one male, one female, and one juvenile cardinal (at various times, not altogether at same time)
• a raven
• two mourning doves
• one squirrel shows up
• they all seem to take turns
• the blue jays are the most skittish
• the squirrel's tail is relaxed except when the blue jay(s) show(s) up and then the squirrel's tail is laying/lying stiffly up its back
• the two slices of bread always disappear fairly quickly
• the seed seems to last all day, allowing birds to come back later in the day for a snack

Global warming: perhaps the best "analyst" regarding the subject, Bjorn Lomborg, President at Copenhagen Consensus Center, notes, January 30, 2019, that fewer and fewer people die from climate-related natural disasters. This is all the more interesting when one realizes that more and more people choose to live along the coasts of the Americas and Asia.

Reality sucks. From Mark Perry this past week. Even Howard Schultz wasn't this dumb. He only went as far as "bathrooms for all."

Nine years after introducing pay-what-you-can restaurants to several U.S. cities, Panera Bread is admitting defeat and closing down its last remaining non-profit Panera Cares location.

At its peak, Panera Cares operated five locations, including ones in Dearborn, Michigan; Portland, Oregon; Boston, and Chicago.

Each restaurant was designed to sustain itself, but the restaurants weren’t financially viable. The Portland-based Panera Cares was reportedly only recouping between 60 and 70 percent of its total costs.

The losses were attributed students who “mobbed” the restaurant and ate without paying, as well as homeless patrons who visited the restaurant for every meal of the week. The location eventually limited the homeless to “a few meals a week.”

Britain's climate change scandal, all gummed up, or should we say, "gummer and gummer"? Reported earlier on the blog. Bottom line:

The chairman of the Climate Change Committee, Lord Deben (John Selwyn Gummer), admits to having received payments of more than £600,000, mainly from firms involved in renewable energy and electric cars. [See wealth concentration link above. The British lords have done very, very well. Now we know why.]

Occasional-Cortez doubles down on "free money" for people "unwilling to work." From ZeroHedge.


Meta-data, Saikat Chakrabarti is Occasional-Cortex' advisor on global warming, economic wealth.

Amazon re-considers. Headlines suggest Jeff Bezos is reconsidering his decision to move half its second new headquarters to Long Island City, Long Island, New York. Considering all his current problems, I doubt he wants to add Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio to the list of those who "hate" him and/or Amazon. But on such matters I am often wrong.
