Court Jesters Club

Public interest is a great idea, but only if the powerful are really interested in properly following through on it . We come here to laugh, and sometimes to grieve -in these cloisters we talk about the tough stuff freely . For how much longer ? You can't always tell them-- but you can tell us.

Externalities - the proof is in the pudding


Some Roadside manure down here is down to $2 a bag in our district. That makes it about as cheap as the returns from milk (20 cents a kilo )The milk producers here clearly make more money out of bullsh .
No wonder the signs out
- it doesn't cost anything to produce ,-
-the supplier doesn't want it
-and the demand seems to exceed the supply especially in the city .People value the right things or so the economic rationalist priests tell us.
