Loading ...a word of thanks

I’ve had the urge to express my gratitude to many of you here for some time, and now seems like as good a time as any. At times I feel as though I’m secretly listening in on the dialogue and commentary of a wise and discerning society. In most our formal education classes we are taught how to function within a fiat currency system, and no mention is made of any alternative: “Just take what we give you, learn how to deal with it, and leave the rest to us.” Many here have a strong sense of what’s true and what’s not, and I think that’s part of what makes this forum so valuable. I’ll never look at dollars the same, nor any commodity, nor anything pertaining to matters of economy, now or in the future. There’s much more going on here than honest stores of value and just weights and measures; your experience, wisdom, insight, wit, and frequent humor foster a good learning environment and reciprocated exchange. Thank you forum moderator and forum posters.

Part: “wanting to get goods into the U.S. To import $1 million of goods, for example, an importer would need ICs that were the byproduct of $1 million of exports. The inevitable result: trade balance.”
@ Mr. Buffit, are you lurking? I think your plan stinks. It’s too late for that.
I and the US do not want a trade balance. We now want and deserve, a 20 year trade surplus.
Now get back to your drawing board, and don’t come back until you have the right solution, or you will be down sized.
In fact, I think it’s time for your drug test. 🙂

Gold, economics, and especially debunked G. Warming.
Geologist have a special appreciation for Gold and world geologic history which proves man has nothing to do with Global warming or cooling. All man is able to do is manipulate and suppress the price of gold on a temporary basis.

I have to agree with you on the global warming thing. I’m not sure I fall for it either.
My son and I started getting into geology and the study of rocks as a hobby. I read an excellent book “Ontario Rocks”, can’t remember the name of the author.
He lays out a graph of the past several million years and the temperatures that they have deduced based on drill cores. It seems that the Earth has a natural cycle of heating and cooling. Each recent cycle lasted approximately 40,000 years. As per the graph we are in the midst of the warming phase of the cycle.
An excellent read and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning about the geology of the Canadian Shield and surrounding area.

We as a species in the geologic view are like a mosquito floating on his back down the Mississippi on a Popsicle stick with a h— on hollering ‘open the draw bridge’
What arrogance!
