Thanks for the shout out. I hope no one asks me how I came up with the 17 year figure but I wasn't born yesterday and am formally trained, boring as that may be. I don't think a lot of people understand how long term this is going to be. I saw this crash coming in January, 2008 and got called all kinds of names, such as mentally ill. Oh, well. My best to you. Uprated. Shared.
@slobomotion I saw this comming in the 80's my grandfather went to auctions guess what he went to them all through my life there is always somebody that is making unsound decisions or they start projects and fall ill. In the 70's I saw our economy was different from the rest of the country since we were oil and shrimp we make money on oil the nation loses money on it. My town had more millionaires than anyplace else not in the mid 80's when the nation was doing well. Cheap oil dictates our econo
@cdltpx We just found out 109 of our neighbors are so wealthy they have to pay a special tax. None of them are complaining. Most Americans don't know that the tax for the wealthy in the 19th c. for example was often at the 90 per cent. rate. My first husband, rich, was happy to pay at 50 per cent. and upset Reagan was going to end all that. When visitors see what we pay for oil over here they get freaked out. It costs about 40 USD to take a hot bath in Brittany.
@slobomotion $40 for a bath? You don't have solar heated water. Ever hear of compost water heating? If that cost that much there you are a millionaire with what I am sharing with you here? Any decaying matter produces methane gas as it does this it gives off heat that heat can be collected with a coil water runs through it and wamo you have compost heater. The methane can be collected too and used for cooking, This is not new. Solar cooking too French foreign legion did this in the 17oo's
@cdltpx Trying to explain this to my peasant family here has been super frustrating. My own husband told me France did not have enough sun for solar when I first met him. They think I am nuts for proposing a grey water system. So it goes. Hey, my father in law has never even eaten a hamburger in his life. This is so alien to many French, they would never eat a chopped steak with a bun! Nor Asiatiac food, nothing! Ketchup even took me years to find here.
@slobomotion Strange you mention Ketchup one of my sins is I swipe condiments I can't help myself I get to a place and I am collecting what I need I will grab 3 of them 4of those even though I will not use them then. I takem home keep them in a bag when I cook I take them out and add them to the brew. I keep them too JIC we run out of something wife will take the packets when she has not time to fix a sandwich she snags the supplies and hits the door. I always carry tobasco packet in wallet.
@cdltpx I recall when I was a teen I would go hungry but I would not see I worked at Wendys ketchup and crackers are free I would sit there and eat crackers dipped in ketchup. I use to FREAK when a person would come to the counter and say this has mustard on it and the manager would grab it and throw it in the trash ! I started to keep the trash can changed when he would do that I would wait till I could and swipe the tossed food and hide out and eat it.No one ate off it it is a sin to toss food
@cdltpx Keep in mind back then I was 12-16 working FF and weighed 145 when I was married age 19 I then quit smoking started working out and was up to 185 in 6 weeks time I added some muscle in that short time I worked out at least 8 hours a day. Ignorance can be cured ONLY if you can convince them I love the Inet it works it shows them what they are missing. We have so many things thrown away here I got satellite dishes from trash I can glue mylar on them poof solar cooker all of an hour time.
@cdltpx They're useful! I seem to always need one for the lunchbox. I've been brown bagging it for decades, hee hee! I was the nerd who'd pull a slice of homemade quick bread out of my briefcase at break time and at the end of the week have cash, not having had to send out or go out to get stuff during the day.
@cdltpx In France, many people never wore leather shoes in their life even until the '80s. I have met people here who never used a phone until they moved to Paris in the '70s. My inlaws still cannot imagine what the Internet or a computer is. They only got a phone and indoor plumbing recently, and this is not rare. They won't even drink a soda here, lots of them, nor an ice cube in a drink. Too weird for them. Many still don't have fridges.
@cdltpx What bothers me is people who cannot fulfill their obligations and blow it off. That is not legal in France, where your great grandchildren will inherit your debts and your bad family name, and none of your cousins can get certain jobs if there is a smear on things. People think it is backward but it isn't. You can swear in writing what you are saying is true here and totally avoid a notary public -- they don't exist here.
