Re Miners in foreign lands having trouble maintaining the past. I remember you frowning on that every time a related story pops up. Like I said after the ’08 meltdown and Bernie Madoff getting caught, everything is in reverse. Push coming to shove. I quoted “If you are getting away with something you better stop before you get caught.”
Even here in the USA the Americans are starting to complain about China buying up our farmland. And God only knows what else the foreigners own here. I’m a 3rd generation American and I’m for taxing the shit out of any foreigners taking advantage. or our dumb leadership and misinformed public.
But they are learning. Even gun control is evaporating. Because, they see, anybody body or criminal that wants a gun already has one without jumping thru hoops to get permission. So it makes no sense to make the good people jump thru hoops. The learning process is so slow.
Even the Global Powers are having trouble getting away with the past. What more can we ask? Life doesn’t get any better than this. Watching the past implode in slow motion. Each country should be a separate self reliant unit, like each house on Maple Place, and only import what is not available domestically.
