Terminal Derangement Syndromes

TDS – Terminal Derangement Syndromes, or Where’s Trump?

The ‘No Police’ Zone

by

Imagine, if you will…

“It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the ‘No Police’ Zone.”

Imagine, if you will, working late, perhaps on an article about Social Justice in the United States, and getting a call from your wife… hysterical, hiding in the closet with your baby daughter.  She says people have broken into your house. They’re ransacking it looking for valuables to loot.  Or maybe looking to rape or murder.

She’s called 9-1-1.  She’s only gotten voicemail.  “Due to Police Defunding and heavy call volumes, response times will be approximately 8 hours and 31 minutes.  Your call is important to us so if you would like a call back in 8 hours and 29 minutes, please leave your phone number.”

The balls in your court.  What will you do?

Could This Be Another Case Of ‘Insider Trading’?

The case could be made that in an ‘Information Economy’ information is the coin of the realm.  Consequently one could posit that just as North Carolina’s Senator Burr is being investigated for Insider Trading for dumping his stock portfolio based on insider knowledge of the possible impact of the Coronavirus on the economy, shouldn’t the same happen to Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary, Rachel Levin?  After all, in the coin of the realm, what’s the value of a human being?  Certainly more than a stock portfolio, one would think.
