Fade the Infrastructure Mirage

We are in the midst of an economic desert right now, wandering around and seeing various mirages in the form of hope for an immediate recovery.

Market Chess Cinemas: Quarantine Edition

I raved on Twitter about "Mankind: The Story of All of Us," a 2012 miniseries with twelve episodes. So, I might as well make it official and give this production its due.
