29 January 2017 - the facts change

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Changeless

Here’s a bit of fake news: John Maynard Keynes once said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?” Of course, some take the opposite tack, “When my mind changes, I change the facts.” President Last Trump doesn’t seem to have either problem.

clue:

Keynes may have said something similar—at least it doesn’t seem out of character. But there is no direct source and the folk process has taken hold.

take oh take this clue away
