LOCKSMITHS IN CANADA ARE BOOMING CANADA IS REAL GOOD

[chaineychainaman]

I just now stumbled upon this vid. It is very good and shows how this whole mess has hurt the "regular" man. I hope things have improved for JR.

Christian sources record that Constantine experienced a dramatic event in 312 at the Battle of Milvian Bridge, after which Constantine would claim the emperorship in the West. According to these sources, Constantine looked up to the sun before the battle and saw a cross of light above it, and with it the Greek words "Εν Τουτω Νικα" ("by this, conquer!", often rendered in the Latin "in hoc signo vinces" watch?v=hqZe5n8q2bI

Constantine entered Rome on 29 October.

End of the World Never

New regulations may bring new fees, like a $100 annual charge even with great credit.

[johnu78]

Anything to get more money out of us.

[NoLongerFooled]

The Native Americans had it right all along - they had no concept of money. They lived (more of less) for thousands and thousands and thousands of years in balance with nature and their surrounding environments.

"Civilization" ISN'T civilized.

[johnu78]

Be sure to watch my book review video. I think you'll find it very enlightening.

Take care,

John

[BITARTEN2]

the worst is still to come...

[johnu78]

Unfortunately you're right.

[hilololomoa]

Chase denied an untold number of loan modifications for a reason that is now prohibited: It determined that homeowners' financial troubles were temporary

[johnu78]

The whole financial system just needs to collapse, the sooner it happens the better it will be for everyone.

Take care,

John

[mja2035]

The banks took all the money and for what? Things are going to get worse and the banks have all the money so they'll be OK and to hell with the rest of us. Simply depressing!

[johnu78]

You're right, it's very sad.

Be sure to read my article about wild edibles in this video's details section, that should help cheer you up.

Take care,

John

[slinkycat321]

Best thing for people to do is go to barter. People need to rethink money. Anything can be "money". Negotiation is the key, and personally if I were a locksmith I would probably still help people if they had nothing. Maybe they could cook me a meal, or even babysit my kids for me. You can trade anything. Food, skills, artwork, sex, storytelling. This actually a good thing if you think about it, its how people of old times used to do things. It builds community.

[johnu78]

Bartering is a great idea.

[johnu78]

You should read up on the plant called Apios Americana.

[linnx88]

Thank you John for helping that man out. It's hard to watch what the bloodsuckers have done to honest, hard working men, small businesses and the overall situation of the country.

[johnu78]

Thank you for watching.

Please read my articles in this video's details section.

Take care,

John

[peilthetraveler]

Is it the economy thats really affecting a locksmith? Or is the fact that all these people now have onstar and when they lock themselves out, onstar can unlock their car for them.

[johnu78]

It's that people can't pay for locksmith service. Everyone around here is so broke it's not even funny.

[rhnegquest]

Great questions, down by 80 percent. Thank you and the locksmith business man for being so candid.

[johnu78]

@ rhnegquest

Thank you for watching.

Please forward the video to your contacts.

Thanks again,

John

[jhi1947]

Self employed people like this gentleman that are down in business are not reflected within the BLS stats.

[johnu78]

You're right. Do you know if subcontractors are included in that number, like people that work 1099?

[jhi1947]

They are not. There is no 'safety net', aka 'unemployment compensation' for these folks.

[johnu78]

@ jhi1947

Personally, I think the true unemployment rate is over 30% right now.

[justjacqueline2004]

The little guy is getting hammered!

[johnu78]

He's one of millions.

[justjacqueline2004]

Dr McHugh at Technical Indicator Index has a resolution to the economic problem and has addressed Senators and Congress persons,but of course it involves helping the little guy.

[johnu78]

Do you have a link for that?

[larnem]

JR understands the importance of advertising. That makes it extra scary that his business is taking such a hit.

[johnu78]

I know so many small businesses that are being wiped out right now. It's really scary watching it all unfold the way it has.

Take care,

John

[skyding8962]

@John

What kind of small businesses are being hit particularly hard?

[spitbabys]

JR figured out the bailout was a boondoggle, not helping the average Joe. I wonder if he is a remoresful Obama voter.

[johnu78]

I'm pretty sure he didn't vote for Obama. ;o)

[odanak100]

Well done.  Thank you

[johnu78]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[jimbobubbadj]

I'd be lost without my local locksmith. I manage rental units and need to have weird keys duplicated. The hardware store and Lowes for example are unable to make some of these keys.

[johnu78]

Lowes and Home Depot have a lot of limitations that much is for sure!

Take care,

John

[curiouschem]

Great interview John. Hope things pick up for J.R.

and very classy of you to put an ad for him up, too-respect!

Florida supposed to be the sunshine state, but for now, it's got a dark cloud over it. hey, better prepare for nasty weather.

[johnu78]

I hope the ad at the end of the video helps get him some business.

Thanks for watching.

Take care,

John

[StomperFrog]

This is a great channel John. I only just found out about it and will be telling my all friends.

[johnu78]

Thank you very much for that.

Sincerely,

John

The Locksmith said, the banks don't give car loans, house loans, loans period.

I say revoke their charters if they don't make loans.

[johnu78]

The Federal Reserve and the government are sucking all the money out of the economy and one of the best ways to do that is to keep the banks from loaning money.

[skyding8962]

@Johnu

Look up money multiplier it at a alltime low and is "Approaching zero". When it hits zero it means that the federal reserve can't really bring any money into circulation and the whole deflationary death spiral kicks in.

[skyding8962]

I appreciate the effort in you getting these interviews. Takes a lot to do that!

Im shocked to hear how much his business has gone down. I have many online business and websites and my sales have held up throughout this depression thankfully. Its just strange how some businesses are so severely impacted and others have weathered the storm.

[johnu78]

Thank you very much. I won't be doing the interviews for a few weeks, I need to take a break from it.

I know a lot of people that have businesses here locally and nearly all of them are on the verge of losing their business. Hopefully they'll find a way to hang on.

Thanks for watching!

Take care,

John

[skyding8962]

@johnu78

My online sales are national and to a smaller extent international so thats probably why Ive held up so well.

[johnu78]

I'm glad you've been able to do well during this period.

You should buy that survival book I pitched a few videos ago. It's by James Wesley Rawles, it's a great read.

[valhala56]

@skyding8962, That's funny a good deal of my biz is online too. So far so good. I don't see stasis though. Unless your selling silver,gold,ammo, guns,butter, cheese well you know the basics.

Your Bud G4T just did a vid on Silver dropping to $15. So I just orderd some online, payed a bit over spot as some say the physical silver is get scarce dude.

[skyding8962]

@valhala56

I wouldn't buy silver now. Its more industrial so its even more likely to plunge I think.

[valhala56]

@skyding8962, I hope it does plunge more, the more the better. I'm not so much looking for profit as asset protection. As long as at some future time of barter & squalor I can trade it for some eggs or a litre of gasoline.

But I kinda sorta agree with you player.

[skyding8962]

@valhala56

As long as you realize that there is a good chance it will drop in value.

Anyone getting investment advice from George will be broke. There is graveyards already dedicated to all the corpses left behind from those who lost it all from Georges sponsor Lebed pump and dump stocks he was promoting. :)

[cori800888]

this entire mess is going down, the game now is for those with enough influence or position to grab and secure what they can.... however in the end these loose too...thats history. collapse devestates an entire nation. this new breed, bankers behind the fed, hope to survive by being international. that will work until the people world wide en mass begin to starve... if it ever happens,..and it might. then world wide revolution will take that super structure out.

[johnu78]

Things are moving quickly that's for sure.

Watch my video about the book review that I put up a few days ago.

[bohemianh]

Great video, two thumbs up!!!

[johnu78]

Thank you very much.

[hilololomoa]

great Interview.thanks

[johnu78]

Thank you for watching. :o)

[meikagirl]

Our stimulus hard at work. If a locksmith has no business I think that tells you how bad things really are.

[johnu78]

You're absolutely right.

Thanks for watching.

Take care,

John

[bohemianh]

Obama's stimulus is economic poison!

[meikagirl]

No Doubt!

[johnu78]

You're absolutely right!

Thanks for watching.
