Right now The People of Branson are broke, but soon they’ll be broken. The town has one industry, tourism, and is wholly dependent on people having discretionary income for vacation, and that economic model is at odds with a fiat currency in its late stage.

Most people aren’t fortunate enough to know what the future looks like, but for Branson it looks fatter and older. Maybe hospital tourism is another way to attract a wider audience.

I’d like to be mayor of Branson for just one day. That day would be yesterday, because I was sick, so I’d have called out of work, but also thanked The People for voting.

A bootlicker would be so much wiser if he would simply hold his tongue. The tongue can be used in many foolish ways, like praising our oppressors, but the most foolish way to use your tongue is to be a bootlicker.

Let’s make a deal. You sell a good or service people want to buy, and I’ll hold a ribbon cutting ceremony for you, give you a handshake, and then use my congratulatory manus to pat myself on the back for all the business I created for the local economy.

I have never made a cashier cry, but I have gotten into a shouting match with one, because he counted up 11 items to ring up, and he was in the 10 items or less line, but one product I was buying was Buy One, Get One FREE, so I argued Item 11 should be thought of as invisible.

I don’t know who you’d rather watch perform in Branson, the 1950s cover band at the theater, or the homeless guy with the guitar on the street corner, but either way I’ve got ear plugs in your size FOR SALE.

If you were to ask Robert SHILLer, he’d call this Narrative Economics. As for me, I call it FREE marketing for SUBWAY . I do it because as a company they are failing, and I want to see them succeed. I won’t be satisfied until they are a complete failure.

A cloud with a stick affixed would make the ultimate umbrella. It’s the kind of thing I’d love to sell to midwestern farmers visiting Branson, tourists eager to spend all their government subsidy money.
