Sell your stocks and buy real estate! It's a great time to buy!
You might want to look at April 2012 issue of that commie rag, Smithsonian, page 25. The title of the article is "Got Corn?", and is about growth through to 2100.
It does not paint a pretty picture, at all. Starting now.
What ever...
Yeah, "What ever".
That article is based on studies by the slackers at MIT, evaluating data on trends like "non-renewable resources remaining", "food per capita", "Services per capita", "Industrial Output per capita", and "Global pollution".
The first study was done in the 70s. Recently, the data was re-evaluated by those stupid people at MIT. Conclusion??
"The world is on track for disaster."
So, yeah, sell your stock, and buy real estate. Or Jelly Beans.
Or. Wake up.
To the Smithsonian reader/fellow commie: Thanks! I wrote the first post and was being sarcastic, sort of. A big believer in science and "organizing" and doing things, I follow long and short term trends - human and non-human things. I'm very careful what I put in my body and where my dollars go. And what I do with my time. It's why I'm here - plenty of water, wild mushrooms, escargot, and huckleberries and very few people - or "parasites". But, thanks. I didn't see that particular article, "Got Corn", but did see something similar. Wow, that magazine has changed since my gift subsription expired in 1982! ALL commie articles now, no shipwrecks, Civil War subs, tours of Oxford, nor New Mexican mummies. Times have changed.
Buy remote property to get away to.
2100? Hahaha, only fools think mankind will still be here in 2100. Well, there may be scattered pockets but it's going to be a much different picture.
Why does the City give the chamber 1000's of dollars a year when they say they have no money to rebuild water, sewer, power and streets???
Yes, times HAVE changed, but a lot of people don't get that. They want it to be the 1950s again. They want to believe the current "slump" will go away, and that the economy will "rebound". That housing prices will rise again, and once again be a speculative commodity, instead of a basic need. Just like food.
Billy, that same article/projection states the global population will start dropping by 2030, and drop to the levels they were in 1970s by 2100. And, keep dropping.
"Industrial output per capita" and "non-renewable resources remaining" have already dropped below projected trends.
Good times!
Why does the City give money to the Chamber? Because those are their constituency.
And, the City lies to it's residents.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sales of new homes fell in March by the largest amount in more than a year, indicating that the U.S. housing market remains under strain despite some modest signs of improvement.
And last year was such a great year, for comparison!
Why does the City give the chamber 1000's of dollars a year when they say they have no money to rebuild water, sewer, power and streets???
They are too busy being futuristic and empire building to worry about fixing your silly streets.
Don't worry, as things start going to hell in other areas others will start flocking here, then you'll have to start shooting them to keep things in hand here.
Ah, Billy, we're too far away from most everything for most people to ever want to flock here. Cost too much. And will only cost more as things fall apart.
You note the unemployment figures, cited today?
the city is insolvent and living on borrowed money. They NEED the civic field bond so they can put the $$ in the general fund, and pretend they're not stealing from Peter to pay Paul. Wait until the shoe drops, and everyone finds out that the city is in the crapper, and bankrupt.
No wonder Kent Myers was trying to pile criminal charges against the former finance director. She probably was getting ready to blow the whistle on over-spending by present and former city officials, and Myers needed to get her out of the way before she could do so.
I wish that were so, but Yvonne is a real team player.
