A change of plan…

A week of laziness / prevention and suddenly I burst forth, drafting easy TABs for guitar, DiZi bamboo flute, and ocarina (12 hole Japanese). Would like to begin with the classical guitar, learn the scales and produce some modulations. I also coded n4s quite a bit, simplifying and correcting kludges, but the netlist is still not made up right.



Did my chores, sweeping and soon mopping. Will be having teochew duck for dinner. Been a while since we had duck and am quite eager for it. Mopping done. Turns out we’ll be having Chinese fried noodles instead. American babies, deceived by Liew witches, lashed out yet again. I don’t quite know why they are so moralistic. Perhaps a little talk will be good for them.

...
 
Brushed, took my meds, and am preparing to sleep by 1am. Work out circa midnight. Need to loo but it can wait till tomorrow. I went 3 times today due to being backed up almost half a week previously. Friends dropped by to talk watches and my cousins were scolded to be more responsible and less influenced by evil spirits, to be a bit more charitable, and to be less jealous. Cousin, you are a man and your sister is a woman. We must behave well and receive God's grace.
 
By request, there is a call to understand the economy and what is the power of interest rates vs employment.
 
Inflation falls when UN-employment is high. Interest rates rise when inflation is high. Therefore interest rates rise when employment rises. The problem is that sometimes inflation is used to grab money without permission. Sometimes interest rates are kept lower or higher because of government policy. Without free market of INF and INT, there is a gap in employment opportunity equal to INF - INT.
 
The gap between INF and INT causes there to be too much liquidity which causes business activity to become circumspect / greedy / wasteful. This is where the employers fail to find the employees. Furthermore, without proper adjustment of INF / INT, whole skill sets can be lost from the economy as people do not fit the easy money and high lifestyle of the 'haves'.
 
I am asked to stop here.
 
The law of the free market breaks down when people are inconsistent and confused. Such that they began to vape and to buy Vespa scooters (I have been watching), and to drink more decadent coffee and snacks. The confusion among younger people and the pettiness of the older citizens causes the economy to stutter. IMHO, the Rukunegara is important as a unifier of Malaysians (other countries can do the same). Basic co-operation is required no matter who or where you are.
 
Should there be needs to micro-manage, then it should be done at state level with budget allocated according to performance of each state, not just to upkeep a state's social status above other states.
 
Micro managing by states has to do with MP and Exco members who must be more in touch with people who can move the economy, not with those who are facing hardship but those who can, with needs and some help, push the credit system forward. It is happening to me, from America right now, regarding my books.

Facing unexpected problems with n4s nodes again.
