A blog (from "web blog") is a discussion or informational site consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed newest first. All Corrente posts are front-paged; there is no up-rate or down-rate process. Corrente posts are almost entirely community moderated. We encourage a clash of ideas, and do not encourage a clash of persons.

Hadn't you heard, it's the new prosperity bellweather. Some people call victims of usury and predatory lending "victims", others call them lucky duckies! Driving around in their Escalades, Navigators and H3's....
I'm actually serious. And I chose "usury" instead of "rent" as in "rentier" which is what I meant. I'm powerless not only under rent, but of it. As almost all of us are!

Perhaps I should have said exactly what I meant.
