You know when the car salesman says, “Yep, that’s the last one we have in inventory and I have a couple coming to look at it in a half hour,” and you just know he’s selling you. Well, he’s a car salesman, and therefore, more trustworthy than me. But here’s the odd thing – I’m [...]

May a Very Nudgy Death Find Cass Sunstein (For His Own Good, I Assure You)

by Eileen | 7:08 pm, February 18, 2013

Cass Sunstein is the sort of man who fills you with loathing and moral revulsion after a single sentence, a power-hungry regulatory motherfucker who mere existence proves we have left Eden.  I have keenly anticipated his last book from the moment he published his first.  He’s like your mother, except there’s no need to pretend [...]

Giving Credit Where Credit is Justified by the FaceBook Data…No, Wait…

by Eileen | 9:14 am, February 1, 2013

Two items in yesterday’s bloggage make an interesting contrast in the state of credit. Salon reports on the news that Equifax, one of the big three credit agencies, has salary data and employment records of a third of American adults and readily – and legally – sells that data.  Among their clients?  Collection agencies and [...]

What’s French for ‘Rent Seeking Whore’?

by Eileen | 6:40 pm, January 25, 2013

The French government has come upon the brilliant idea of protecting privacy by assessing a special tax on the profits of companies that traffic in data.
