What happens when the shit hits the fan?
What should I do/prepare for when the shit hits the fan?I don’t know!
Ask the Greeks.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.
/trump-said-to-plan-20-tariff-on-canadian-softwood-lumber
The $C is already at a 30% disadvantage.
Don’t give away the lumber.
Don’t negotiate.
Sell more lumber to China.Therefore, Canada should charge 20%, or match the charge by the USA, on all the companies selling lumber to the USA.
Use the money collected to help the lumber workers.

With the money saved because I cut my hair, I’m planning to go on a cheap vacation
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin
Sarin without the residual acid removed degrades after a period of several weeks to several months. The shelf life can be shortened by impurities in precursor materials. According to the CIA, some Iraqi sarin had a shelf life of only a few weeks, owing mostly to impure precursors.
Sarin has a high volatility (ease with which a liquid can turn into a gas) relative to similar nerve agents, therefore inhalation can be very dangerous and even vapor concentrations may immediately penetrate the skin. A person’s clothing can release sarin for about 30 minutes after it has come in contact with sarin gas, which can lead to exposure of other people.[28]
Did anyone hear of any exposure that caused the death to birds, cats, dogs, rats, or any domestic animals?
Were there any samples taken of soil etc. to prove that sarin was used?
What should I think? Bad investigating and reporting or just plain propaganda.
With today’s modern medicine …..
Women have many other ways of avoiding producing starving babies.
Patricia,
I’ll be able to answer your question after I figure out why women continue to have babies when they cannot get enough food for themselves.“For a continent that has been at war with itself for 10 centuries and only managed to play nice for the last 30 or so years, it’s foolish to expect these bailouts to last forever.”
The EU continent is trying to figure out a different population control (extermination) and generational wealth transfer mechanism (stealing).
The best metaphor I can think of is: Austerity is like bloodletting in the Middle Ages, only with a lower success rate.
Who should operate the knife/printing press?
I find that the printing press is bleeding me to death.
I glad that I’m not in Greece and even more lucky not to be in Yemen.
There are too many organization helping to solve the Yemen “problems”
(There must be undeveloped secret oil field as a prize for all the help)20m The number of people in need throughout Yemen
1m Internally displaced people since the conflict began
1,976 Registered deaths resulting from conflict
8,034 Registered injuries resulting from conflict
12m People who have become food insecure since the escalation of conflict
The desperate shortage of food, water and medical supplies raises urgent questions over US and UK support for the Arab coalition’s intervention in the Yemeni civil war since March. Washington provides logistical and intelligence supportthrough a joint planning cell established with the Saudi military, who are leading the campaign. London has offered to help the Saudi military effort in “every practical way short of engaging in combat”.
It’s worth repeating.
Because the CIA has acquired the capability, both through hacking Russian files and through coding, to leave ‘footprints’ that make it look like the Russians left them. And the only ‘proof’ there ever was for all these accusations was based on these footprints.
“The “shortage” has made local home owners wealthy overnight, but it comes at the cost of turning lively cities into empty shells.”

China has cities with less than 10% occupancy.income divorced from work- already exists. It is called capital income.
It’s also called… Welfare …. Pension ….. Disability income … Unemployment income …. Gambling …. Stock market … interest …. dividends … Debt slavery
Those that are falling through the cracks need a minimum living income
Therefore, what are you promoting for a solution?
Massive starvation and death or The universal basic income
Remember it’s zero sum
@Dr. D.
Thomas Paine neglects to observe that for a man to eat and not work, another man must work and not eat.Therefore, you must be promoting massive starvation and death.

someone is stealing your money
ZerosumDuh!!!!!
I told you … Keep your eyes open … Someone is stealing your money
Today, I’m listening to the “experts” trying to make the “Americans” believe that the gov. is not going to increase the speed of the printing press.
Old fart advise:
Keep your eyes open. 60% of the population are living pay check to pay check. There is a major push to transfer/steal the wealth of the old farts that are over medicated, senile, and wearing diapers.Are you waiting to hear from another old fart?
I’m lucky. I’m in Canada with a sufficient retirement cash flow to put food on the table.
I still don’t need a pain killer.Last night I enjoyed watching “The Trump Oscar”.

The earth is alway changing.
(Ie. coal, oil)https://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/universe/uni_age.html
Until recently, astronomers estimated that the Big Bang occurred between 12 and 14 billion years ago. To put this in perspective, the Solar System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a genus for only a few million years. Astronomers estimate the age of the universe in two ways: 1) by looking for the oldest stars; and 2) by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and extrapolating back to the Big Bang; just as crime detectives can trace the origin of a bullet from the holes in a wall.

The Biosphere: Life on Earth
Life! It’s everywhere on Earth; you can find living organisms from the poles to the equator, from the bottom of the sea to several miles in the air, from freezing waters to dry valleys to undersea thermal vents to groundwater thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface. Over the last 3.7 billion years or so, living organisms on the Earth have diversified and adapted to almost every environment imaginable. The diversity of life is truly amazing, but all living organisms do share certain similarities. All living organisms can replicate, and the replicator molecule is DNA. As well, all living organisms contain some means of converting the information stored in DNA into products used to build cellular machinery from fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
If Mother Earth did not bury its dead, the earth would be covered in dead, stinking, decaying matter.

Sedimentary Rocks on the Colorado PlateauThe Colorado Plateau is one of the World’s great show places for sedimentary rocks. Precambrian and all Phanerozoic periods except Ordovician and Silurian are represented. Especially well exposed are Permian through Jurassic sedimentary rocks that were deposited in mostly tropical desert sedimentary environments. These sedimentary rocks provide the focal point for the greatest concentration of National Parks in the World. The Grand Staircase, the southwestern escarpment of the Colorado Plateau, exposes one of the finest and most complete sedimentary sections anywhere!
…for the first time, the concept of a “soft palace coup” has been officially brought up on public media….
There is this story about … “The pot calling the kettle black”.
There is another about jumping from the pot to the fire.
The future might end up with the story about …. Trump and PencePeople seeking refugee status have been pouring over the Canada-U.S. border…
POURING
Mountains and gullies are not enough.
It’s time to build a wall made of … Signs saying,”Follow arrows to easy crossing”…. Snowbanks from snow storms?! … Cedar hedge?! …. A string of emergency shelters?!“Although population growth has been slowing, the effect is not big enough to change the qualitative results described above.”
There are countries and areas where the population growth is negative.
…. This trend has more positive then negative impact on all life on earth.
@ Dr.Diablo
Your essay of the conditions in the USA is better than what is the reality that the USA and others have created for many other people all over the world.Party on, Wayne!
The university kids are so stupid.
the life you’ve always wanted could be laid at your feet
many students have embraced four years of sleeping in, drinking heavily, and getting an increasingly useless degree.
Going to university increases your chances of getting laid.
New calculations show that more than half of all borrowers from 1,000 different institutions have defaulted on or not paid back a single dollar of their loans over the last seven years.
I would like to know,
are they working?
are they making enough money to be able to continue their university lifestyle?
are they couch surfing?Yep! University grads are stupid.
“Unrest Is The Only Growth Industry Left”
Nope
Population growth is the only growth left.
Therefore,
Growth of lots of pain.
@ John day
Destination vacation Beaches are not crowded
The beach bums have retired
The beach vendors are suffering
The baby boomers are buying diapers
The beach jig-a -lows have disappearedLocals are being targeted for time share
The old well-to-do middle class are not going to vacation destination and those that do are no longer buying more tricklets.
The yung’n have other concern/priorities than to go to vacation destinations
“…. he once again is controlling the media narrative, which is focusing on a very immaterial and arbitrary issue, instead of spending time on investigative work and reporting on far more serious issues relating to Trump’s new administration.”
The news media, on purpose, is reporting on fluff.
i.e.
All news medias, not just Americans, are Not reporting any news on
serious issues,
And
All kinds of Bad things that are hitting the fan around the world.(Fluff warning) Vacation destinations are past their peak. ( Growth is not there. Decline is obvious. Beach vendors are suffering)
Do you believe that 500,000 women can organize and that the news media did not know about it.
Nobody told me that there was going to be a world wide demonstration.Future Growth is possible for only a fraction of the population.
1. Give less to many and so that a few will get more.
2. Reduce the number of people so that there will be more for the remainder.Generational wealth transfer is not growth.
What if ….
