    We’re witnessing an expensive supportive bra, what’s not to get about that?

    Keep ignoring that; keep acting like naive idiots; the denial won’t help; it just makes the coming reality the harder to accept…

    Lots of articles about borrowing and debts.

    Who and where are the people that pay only the interest on their loans?

    Who and where are the people that can always rollover their loan principle plus interest into a new loan?

    Not me.!

    I only know people who must payback their loans principle plus interest every month.

    According to population distribution, there will not be very many savers left.

    Present savers/retirees are already being scammed out of their savings.
    The younger generations have no savings and they have been raised to have greater expectation than their income and therefore, they create legal scams to satisfy their wants.

    Question: do the people of N. Korea have savings?

    The future …

    The future will be bad …

    subsistence farming.
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsistence_agriculture

    Subsistence agriculture is self-sufficiency farming in which the farmers focus on growing enough food to feed themselves and their families.
    Intensive subsistence farming is prevalent in the thickly populated areas of the monsoon regions of south, southwest, and east Asia.

    Subsistence agriculture was the dominant mode of production in the world until recently, when market-based capitalism became widespread.

    …. Your future will be even worst if you cannot feed yourself.

    Re.: cause of opioid epidemic
    Its not all overdose, people take pain killers to kill pain.
    Trying to stay pain free when living on the street would be more than what the readers of this blog could stand. I suspect that the majority would take an extra pain killer.

    Here are some other causes.

    It wasn’t clear to me.
    Who get’s the most amount of money from the workers for not doing any work.

    Corporate welfare is at the top of my list.
    Second would be the military establishments
    Third would be the medical establishment.

    UN refugee agency: Record 65.6 million people displaced worldwide

    Syrians fleeing conflict account for 12 million of the world’s displaced people
    A record 65.6 million people are either refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced across the globe, the UN refugee agency said.
    The estimated figure for the end of 2016 is an increase of 300,000 on 2015, according to its annual report.
    It is a smaller increase than 2014-15, when the figure rose by five million.
    But the UN high commissioner for refugees Filippo Grandi said it was still a disheartening failure of international diplomacy.
    “The world seems to have become unable to make peace,” Mr Grandi said.
    “So you will see old conflicts that continue to linger, and new conflicts erupting, and both produce displacement… forced displacement is a symbol for wars that never end.”
    Uganda: The ‘best place’ to be a refugee?

    The village of Bidi Bidi has been transformed into one of the world’s largest refugee settlements
    In 2016, some 340,000 people fled the violence in South Sudan into neighbouring Uganda. That was more than any other country – even more than the 200,000 people estimated to have fled Syria.
    Just 36 hours after crossing the border by a simple wooden plank bridge, refugees are given a small plot of land and the materials they need to start growing their own food.
    A year ago, the village of Bidi Bidi was just that, but now it is one of the biggest refugee settlements in the world – home to more than a quarter of a million people and covering 250 square kilometres.

    A woman’s world for South Sudanese refugees
    The UN said it hoped Monday’s record breaking numbers of displaced would encourage wealthy countries to think again: not just to accept more refugees, but to invest in peace promotion, and reconstruction.
    Mr Grandi also warned of the burden being placed on many of the world’s poorest states, as some 84% of the world’s displaced people are living in poor and middle income countries.
    “How am I to ask countries with far less resources, in Africa, in the Middle East, in Asia, to take millions of refugees if the richer countries are refusing to do so?” he said.
    The world’s displaced people – in numbers
    There are 65.6 million displaced people in the world – more people than live in the UK. Of these:
    22.5 million are refugees
    40.3 million are displaced in their own country
    2.8 million are seeking asylum
    Where do the refugees come from?
    Syria: 5.5 million*
    Afghanistan: 2.5 million
    South Sudan: 1.4 million
    Who is hosting the refugees?
    Turkey: 2.9 million
    Pakistan: 1.4 million
    Lebanon: 1 million
    Iran: 979,4000
    Uganda: 940,800
    Ethiopia: 791,600

    I’m really ignorant about the softwood lumber.
    If the USA imposes a 20% cost, who pays it?
    I was under the impression that the consumer always pays?
    Why would the seller absorb the cost increase?
    If the seller cannot make money on the sale of the soft wood, why would they keep selling?
    Duhhhh!

    This sound like the Mexican import border tax … The USA consumer pays the higher price.
