"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

Im old enough to remember when government had to be run like a business because businesses could never fail, they could only be failed, and because business leaders were hard-headed, clear-eyed persons who could never invest as foolishly as governments which took care of people.
Economists and economics reporters are like the praise singers that kings and emperors used to hire to praise them and their ancestors, only they do it for the rich. And lots of regular reporters and hacks get in on that scam, too. Trump has had that his entire life.
