Johanna Faust, a mixed race Jew, prefers to publish pseudonymously. She is committed: first, to preventing war, ecological disaster, and nuclear apocalypse; last to not only fighting for personal privacy & the freedom of information, but, by representing herself as a soldier in that fight, to exhorting others to do the same. She is a poet, always. All these efforts find representation here: "ah, Mephistophelis" is so named after the last line of Christopher Marlowe's Dr. Faustus, whose heretical success flouted the censor for a time.

In America Money Is Literally Time | Visualizing The First Democratic Debate

Graphed by Corporanon,

The money various candidates have raised is here graphed against the speaking time allotted to them in the first Democratic presidential debate. 

 As in past years, there's a tight relationship that is nearly one to one. 

 What is anomalous is the 'lower tier candidate' effect of slightly less potential political bang for their hard lobbied buck. 

 Downright unusual, however,  is the amount of time given -- or should I say not given -- to Senator Bernie Sanders. 




Be seeing you.
