indigi posted:also Karples took out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans to his other companies and he draws a salary as a consultant to the Japanese bankruptcy investigation This part baffles me, is it standard for people who may have been complicit in massive fraud or at least massive negligence to be given a position to consult on the case and paid very well for it? Like, wow, you'd think it would be a problem

did someone say wizards, cause i've got a whoppe of a story then What Is Value, Anyway? Goblin Banker: So, young Master Potter, I understand that these last few days have been a bit trying for you, but on the upside, you’re filthy stinking rich. Harry Potter: I’m still having trouble wrapping my head around piles and piles of gold coins in a vault guarded by a dragon. What did you call them again? Goblin Banker: Galleons. Harry Potter: And weren’t there Sickles and Knuts, too? Goblin Banker: Meaningless complications for the moment, sir. Let’s just focus on your galleons. Harry Potter: What is a galleon worth, anyway? Goblin Banker: What is anything worth, young Master Potter? An apple or a dragon’s egg or the limb of an ancient yew severed in a lightning strike? All things are worth what someone will happily trade you for them. Harry Potter: I’m having trouble thinking that gold is really like an apple. Surely it is worth much more, right? Goblin Banker: I suppose that depends. If you’re starving, an apple will save your life and gold won’t. But we aren’t talking about gold, we’re talking about galleons. Harry Potter: Galleons are gold, right? Goblin Banker: Galleons are a currency, Master Potter. They happen to have a bit of gold in them, to be true, but the real magic of them — a strikingly ordinary kind of magic — is that the inhabitants of Wizarding Britain want to have them and, accordingly, you can trade for almost anything if you have enough galleons. And, as we’ve established, you have enough galleons. Harry Potter: Carrying that mountain of gold around is going to be trouble. I need to go buy supplies fbwhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

The metafictional conceit central to the series was that, unbeknownst to the other wizards, the meetings were being held in the home of real world author Ed Greenwood. Greenwood himself was included in the story as a character, sequestered in some hidden location in order to eavesdrop and take the notes from which the story was supposedly written later. christ

The wizard departed in a puff of strawberry-colored smoke, cape fluttering in the dimensional eddies as realities folded in on themselves. Left behind in the parking lot, the young man remained for a long time, emotions coursing through him like a live wire. He had learned much from the crotchety old man. Now it was time to put it into practice. But what would he call the project? Sorcery Incorporated? Spells'R'US? Then it came to him. "Gathering... Magic... Magic the Gathering Online Exchange?" He liked it.

they are pretty terrible. most of the interesting stuff is an "homage" to golden age science fiction, particularly l. sprague decamp and e.e. smith. on the other hand, robinson is a not-terrible writer, though he had the tendency to reuse formulaic phrases in these, which becomes apparent when you read them one after the other
