Newlan's Truism: An "acceptable" level of unemployment means that the government economist to whom it is acceptable still has a job.

Dostojevskij-minimum: When everyone is so bad off that no-one can be worse off without anyone getting better off.

imagine an unquiet place somewhere where there are gentle lapping waves on fine white sand, the orange sun is setting and light hawaiian music is playing in the air.

there is a thin pole propped up horizontally at both ends, to a height of around .7 metres.

and translucent human spirits wearing garlands are swaying to the music, bending backwards, trying to go under the pole and onwards...

this magical place, this is where the souls are in limbo...
