Lots of news about the economy recently. After getting out of class today, I learned Wachovia had tanked as well as several European banks. There is a Wachovia down the street from the Astronomy Department, so several of us decided to take a walk and see if anything exciting was going on. As we expected, there wasn”t much of note. Just this relatively amusing sign:
I”m currently in the middle of reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It was an interesting book before the current Bank crisis, but now it”s hitting a bit closer to home. It”s interesting to note the parallels between the book and the current state of things, especially the push towards government intervention that is coming from some groups of people.
