It wouldn't be that bad, but for the fact that so many of the "Ken Rogoff 
level" forecasters are totally beholden to the likes of George Soros and 
will simply spout whatever rubbish they're paid (very well indeed) to 
spout. Prime recent examples being the dire consequences of a Brexit vote 
that never came to fruition and the equally dire consequences of electing 
Trump in the US. In both cases we were warned massive world-wide 
recession would result within days or weeks; some even predicted nuclear 
Armageddon. Of course it was all garbage intended to frighten voters into 
compliance with the wouldbe world controllers.

I don't read either of these worthless rags, you idiot. I used to take 
the FT only for years and years and years until it went downhill a while 
back and now I read *nothing* from the MSM at all. I consider myself very 
much better informed as a result.

That much at least is true. 
My news client has taken you out of my KF on the basis that it thinks you 
are now rehabilitated and should be given another chance. I've seen very 
little here that causes me to agree with that.
