OT: Lost Vegas

[patientrenter]

I thought it was a good program. I watched the whole thing. And I agree with jpnpb that it highlighted a situation that should be fixed – renters evicted with virtually no notice from homes that went into foreclosure without their knowledge.

Having said that, I kept wondering why the interviewer injected a few leading questions into her interviews, implying that all the growth experienced in the US (not just LV) since the 1980’s (Ronald Reagan and the Republicans, wink, wink) was a mirage. Let’s ignore the fact that, for example, the years since the 1980’s have seen our work and home lives transformed by the PC and the internet.

I looked up the TV station (current.com) and see that it’s sponsored by Al Gore. I am sure he’s done a lot of decent things, and the station produces a lot of good programming, but I am also sure that any station sponsored by a leading light of one of our dominant political parties will have an agenda and a bias, and that came through in a few spots in this program. Otherwise, very good and very enjoyable.

PR: I agree. I thought the program was informative, though slightly biased (which is to be expected, given Gore’s support).

It does, however, highlight a couple of key things: You cannot continue indefinitely along a path where you spend more than you make, and, America needs to find a sustainable economic model (read manufacturing based) to replace this one.

Quick point about Gore: When you have a moment, check out Al Gore’s current net worth. Compare it to his net worth in the 1990s and earlier this decade. It will make your jaw drop. Now look where all of that money is coming from. This will absolutely enrage you.
