Not so sure. Wise not to speculate perhaps.

Artist David Hockney. He was good at drawing.

As long as Don is still alive, we’ll be grand.

King Crisps used to make a line of crisps named after him.

He’s one of two sportspeople to feature on the front of a packet of King Crisps over the years.

Daveigh Chase, who played Samara in The Ring and who voiced Lilo in Disney’s animated classic has died at the age of just 35. The former child star, who made her screen debut aged just eight and went on to appear in 50 projects over the course of her career, died on 16 June after battling meningitis and a blood infection.

Alan Greenspan.

One of the most influential people of the last 40 years. The knock on effects from his policies have literally shaped the world we live in today.

His policies nearly finished capitalism off in 08

How so?

He pumped out money at low interest rates post 9/11 and basically caused the subsequent banking collapse.

He also deregulated US banks and said they can regulate themselves as they will have to mind their shareholders so won’t do anything stupid.

LOL

He was also behind the derivatives markets getting so big as he thought it derisked banks.

LOL

He also removed limits on how much banks could ā€œinvestā€ themselves, that had been brought in after the last time banks blew themselves up.

The US economy purred along under his leadership and he was basically seen as a genius for it, and for getting them through two crisis in 87 and again post dot.com bubble & 9/11.
So central banks all over the world copied his policies and we all ended up in the same shit heap.

The butterfly effects are insane, you could go so far as to blame him for the Arab spring.
Which caused massive migration, which causes the rise of the far right etc etc etc

A fine day’s work.

Dot.con bubble was well on the way down by then, but 9/11 really put a cap on it and he cut interest rates to the bone after and pumped the market with liquidity

Was Greenspan a dem or rep?

I’d imagine he was a Republican. Small government, let the market regulate itself etc.

Ok

I lived the dot-com bubble. Some ride.
Same in the ai tech companies now I’d say

Old-timer alert. :grin:

He was a devotee of Ayn Rand. Rand should be regarded like Ebola is regarded.
