On Income Inequality ...

Strangely enough, I think they're both right... In the same way each of the proverbial blind-men is right in their description of the elephant they only know by touch.

The healthiest possible economy occurs when 100% of the population feels maximum incentive to risk innovation in the pursuit of happiness (i.e. success).

Because the motivaters of the 1% are mostly in opposition to those of the 99%, maximum prosperity can only be achieved at some point of equilibrium between them. We've been WAY out of equilibrium for about 10-20 years.

Change of address for robertcwatson@yahoo.com

Yahoo has chosen to become agressive in its competition with Gmail.

I've been paying $19.99/yr for Yahoo Mail Plus so the Yahoo mail would be imported to Gmail via POP3. Recently Yahoo added DMARC policies in response to the Heartbleed panic which have broken that functionality. They've made no attempt to contact their users or help with problems.

Their page stated that the normal free email now included POP3 forwarding so I cancelled Yahoo Mail Plus. I now find that that was a mistake that Yahoo will not fix.

I've found no resolution other than now paying Yahoo $49.99/yr for their newly named but no new capability, "Ad-Free Service".

Thus, please direct all future email to me at robertcwatson1@gmail .com

Good Riddance to Yahoo
