Thoreau, Tainter, and… Elaine?

by

Wherein we look at “marginal rates of return on additional effort.”  Which, with containerships backing up off of Los Angeles is a rather vexing problem for industry.

You see, there’s an assumption in marketing that….wait!

We need to roll a few headlines and do the ChartPack.  Then I can huff-up on the white-board marker and get into the frightening discussion of declining marginal rates of return spawning the disappearance of demand…

Which – if you hadn’t guessed it – is what causes Depressions but (take solace if you’re woke) it will solve global warming for a while..

  2. Oh the concept of RoR in regards to the most important thing in ones life. TIME. George, this concept is the most freeing thing in the world….at least mine. When my mother passed at the young age of 48 from pancreatic/liver cancer, this concept was shown to me in it’s full glory. And a 24 year old man at the time it changed my entire direction of my life. ROI for my time and the price I put on my time became the most important thing in my life. The one thing I have and can control its use…..TIME. Unfortunately, for most it is the one thing we tend to waste till we get old.
    Keep the good work up George

    • “my mother passed at the young age of 48 from pancreatic/liver cancer,”

      My condolences Frankness… that is what they thought I had a few years ago.. some scary stuff there..

  3. America needs a mint tube of trillion dollar coins. Why not? If someone hands you a Trillion $ coin do you look at it in awe or as a joke? “Oh, yeah we’re being serious here.”

    I expect the national debt to be $100,000,000,000,000.00 by 2030. America will need a Monster Box of billion dollar coins to cash all the trillion dollar coins. We are Zimbabwe but nobody sees it yet.

    Look to Detroit for the future of office space. Gross evidence. Really gross. But proof people are creatures of habit.

    Conditions worsen inside Penobscot building in downtown Detroit

    “Tenants say the Penobscot’s elevators are regularly breaking down, and on Monday, when frigid outside temperatures were in the teens, the entrance lobby lacked heat, and toilets throughout the building were backed up and nearly overflowing with excrement.

    “You can barely walk into the bathroom because it stinks so bad,” said attorney Stephen Lovell, whose law firm Ernst Charara & Lovell is a tenant. “Each toilet is just like filled to the brim with toilet paper and waste — and it stinks. With no running water, apparently some people don’t really care, so it’s just like one mess on top of another.””

    In the chart it was an X wave. Gold had two X waves before the down restarted.

    • “……some people don’t really care, so it is just like one mess on top of another.”

      You nailed it Steve. That is a perfect description for our society today.

      My daughter is the manager of a very large chain store in our city. She said they re-painted the whole story inside and out to prepare for a grand re-opening this week. The paint on the exterior had not even dried before it was covered with graffitti, done in the middle of the night by 2 teenage girls all caught on camera of course. The police arrived at the crack of dawn and advised there was nothing they could do. I suggested to her that she might want to find the girls and hire them to repaint the building in the graffiti of my daughter’s choice.

      She also told me that she has shopping carts on order but they are on container ships somewhere parked offshore in California and may not arrive for Christmas. She had 400 carts earlier this year and is now down to 72. Homeless people are taking them to build shelters in parts of the city as far away as 4 miles from her store. She is being fined by the authorities for not removing the carts even though she has no idea where they are.

      Another day in Crazyville.

      • Clear examples of “boiling frog syndrome”.

        Human dung piles at the office. That’s an incredibly low standard. Why was he in the bathroom – “sinks for the men/floor drains for the women”. Too many questions.

        I googled and the law firm is still there so dung piles aren’t enough to induce a move.

        No Christmas carts no Christmas customers. I wonder who’s fault it will be when the store doesn’t make the Christmas numbers.

      • Yep – it’s degrading every day! In general, the population has become genetically defective – that’s right. No real hope other than enough very bright and motivated people survive to seed the next 2-3 generations.

        Personally, I think Dr. Joeseph Chippalone is correct – basically, this physical dimension is ending because it is essentially demonic. Sounds crazy, yea, but Chippalone was saying this like 15 years ago on the Jeff Rense show. If you have followed his work, Chippalone has made some very inaccurate predictions, but I don’t think he is wrong – perhaps just very early on the timing. Just like we know that the purchasing power of the dollar will eventually diminish to nothing – it’s been happening – first slowly, then all at once.

      • “She had 400 carts earlier this year and is now down to 72. Homeless people are taking them to build shelters in parts of the city as far away as 4 miles from her store.”

        Cheap mobile homes… with the tent cities growing.. you’d like to think that community leaders would be trying to find shelters.. even here you see an increase.

      • We had a gent that needed a place to live.. the police and garbage men called him the can man. Lived in a dumpster.. they would see his walker or wheelchair sitting out next to one.. and they would bang on it and yell..can man you in there..then they’d take him for an egg and a pancake .. he was one of the nicest most generous guys I’ve met..great guy made a few bad decisions and the one two punch and ended up living beneath bridges and in dumpsters.. of course he didn’t want people to look down on him so he would say I was seeing how it was..lol..
        Anyway years before when I worked making cabinets we had made a national display out of cardboard.. it was beautiful.. turned out so nice that they bought us a keg for a shift picnic. While we were there two cops rode by on bicycles..we joked that we should run back to the plant whip up a sd mall gingerbread cottage with mailbox and set it up along the path. Just to see the reaction of the officers as they peddled by on their next round. Well we never did it.. but after meeting the can man.. I had wished we would have .since the park we were at wasn’t far from where he sought shelter. Give him a dollar and he felt like a king..mana from heaven if he bought a candy with it he always wanted to share his great fortune with others.
        The fact that they are using the carts says theres a void that should be addressed by the city fathers.. relief shelters etc.

      • “No real hope other than enough very bright and motivated people survive to seed the next 2-3 generations.”

        The problem with that Stephen.. is direction..they have to have direction..you can be as bright as a shining star.. but if there isn’t a direction then it is left up to the shining star to make its own course..
        Today it is about the jingle not the family.. companies outsource and those bright stars are left to the gangs and network television and the games.. to direct.. and all those entities are looking for is a number.. Our congress as an example.. has some very knowledgeable individuals that originally sought to make the country a better place.. we like our children left them to the rabble rousers to corrupt.. today I wouldn’t give you a nickle for any of them.. ( well maybe rand paul but he is regularly laughed off of the floor) there needs to be some sort of regulation of who can have and how much influence on them..

    • Can you fit 15 zeroes on a coin? Soon they could mint a coin the size of a sewer cap. that may work.

  4. Yo G,

    Did you see that rocket launch this AM ? Not sure if that was Buzz Lightyear riding “shotgun”, but damm..

    -Its a Bird, its Plane..ITS BITCOIN!

    https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/visualizing-rise-cryptocurrency-transactions
    This coiner connected some crypto (bitcoin?) to a VISA Card – very common practice. Can spend it anywhere, anytime – but NEVER do, prefer to pay with fiat-Cash/Plastic linked to USD account.The USD – cheaper by the minute.

    The term HODL came about is a misprint-mistake, but in a universal synch-wink – was “re-coined” to be defined as Hold ON For Dear Life.

    This (HODL) is The Strategy for the BCN going forward regards fin assets.

    The amount of MONEY needed to be raised by taxing the middle class going forward will turn everyone in USA into an Indentured Servant.

    Bribem said – going to Tax UN-Realized Gains – so Ure resident libatard in SF realestate and all his little RE friends are about to be impoverished by the Un-Realized Gains Tax – how much did that house go up in value this year ?? 1.5 million @ .30% = $45,000 in new Tax Due, suckas.

    Hahahaha – NO BITCOIN for Youse, and NO Tax por Moi!

    Cheers Trotskyites!

    • When the banks close and your credit card won’t work, how you going to access your bitcoin, Ever read about the tulips, they were worth a lot till they were not ?????????? Tools and lead not going to zero.

      • “how you going to access your bitcoin, Ever read about the tulips, ”

        Well Golly Tim.. if you have crayons you could color a picture for em..

    • Just HOW can biden tax unrealized gains? Does he plan to credit unrealized losses? How would anyone legitimately determine “unrealized gains”? If such putative unrealized gains are threatened with taxation, a single match can prevent the problem.

      Idiocracy was supposed to be a comedy – but then it became reality and it’s not funny anymore.

  5. you can already buy a trillion dollar bill.. LOL

    the coins are out there to..

    from my perspective a trillion dollars is what a five dollar bill from today will be worth then.. LOL LOL LOL
    . LOL LOL so are Bit Coins.. at least you have something to play with for pocket pool LOL LOL LOL
    all of this is very scary even though I make lite of the situation.. during the weimer depression.. people had buckets of cash in the bank only to discover that they were worthless.. reminds me of my TWA stock.. I had a great deal of TWA stock.. when it started to falter I read rumors that another airline would take over and in the act of absorbing the company they would reissue stocks in their company.. ( just like switching currencies I think.. ) only that isn’t what happened.. in the death throws.. the new company came in and dissolved the company absorbed its assets and left the stock to be worthless.. I think it was less than a penny a share.. I ended up paying thirty dollars to just have it vanish.. I see this happening in the USA.. and the Federal Reserve.. IF.. from my perspective they dumped the Federal Reserve.. ( it is just like TWA.. struggling) then dissolve the nations debts and reboot with new currency.. the fiat money would be left like my twa stock.. worth nothing.. they of course would have to dissolve all public services.. A story my father was told by I think his grand father.. or father was of two kids.. when their father died.. they got the inheritance.. and one put it all in the bank.. the other had a great time partying day and night .. women wine food dance.. then the Weimar depression hit. The responsible child found that the money he had in the bank was worthless while the kid that partied discovered that there was a glass shortage and he had a basement full of wine bottles.. in our lifetime we seen where an ounce of hand sanitizer would sell for seventy five dollars and a four roll pack of angel soft toilet tissue sold for 165.00 plus shipping.. fights in the isles over toilet paper and bleach..
    We have the dissruption of the supply chain now.. and we are totally dependent on outside manufacturing to supply our necessities.. can’s.. aluminum can’s are now a buck a can to buy empties with the tops.. it is almost two dollars a can for the PET plastic cans and tops.. all of which is made someplace else.. what affect will that have on store products.. well we know if you buy a million can’s you will get a price break from the two bucks a can.. but it has gone up two years ago.. the can’s were a quarter and a bottle was around a dime.. the PET can substitutes for beverages were not being made yet then..wine bottles have gone up to.. they were fifty cents a bottle now they are over a dollar a bottle.. the corks are going up as well..

  6. AUSTRALIA IS LOST: Government Launches Orwellian Selfie Check-In Program for Home Quarantine (VIDEO)
    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/australia-lost-government-launches-orwellian-selfie-check-process-home-quarantine-video/

    9 News Reporter: Today the call has gone out to everyone in home quarantine in Victoria to take part in a pilot program. And what that means is they will receive random phone calls and they will have to answer within five minutes with a selfie sent to an app which will then geo-track where that person is and to make sure they are who they say they are as well. If they don’t answer within the five minutes that’s when health ministers come knocking.

    It Begins: Federal Investigators Are Issuing Warrants for Google to Turn Over Anyone Typing in Certain Search Terms
    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/10/begins-federal-investigators-issuing-warrants-google-turn-anyone-typing-certain-search-terms/
    It begins.
    The federal government is issuing warrants from compliant Google to turn over anyone typing in certain search terms.

    But they assure the American public that they can be trusted. Just like the federal government assured Americans they would not abuse the secret FISA courts to spy on innocent Americans!

    We now know that crooked feds were spying on Donald Trump, his family, his campaign and his presidency using the secret courts to obtain warrants.

    This is your brave new world. Get used to it.

  7. Work from home? It actually means transferring costs of labor to the employee.
    Evidently most at-home workers are willing to sellout for next to nothing for the little in time savings and convenience.

    Here’s the deal:

    The company buys the computer, programs, and internet service;
    The company pays the percent of housing costs: 1,000 sq ft home, 100 sq ft office, ergo, 10% of all costs of housing -utilities, property tax, insurance, maintenance, etc.

    The 100 sq ft office needs some rent, ergo $x per foot. There goes the kids bedroom, living room or study, or kitchen table, … .

    • Evidently I’m willing to sellout exactly what? I get 22 full days back annually by not commuting.

      What you suggest is that I give up 3 full weeks for the same exact paycheck I would get if I stay at home instead.

      My internet bill is the same as before
      Electricity – negligible compared to 22 days of my life each year
      Property tax – same as before
      Insurance – same as before

      For literally almost zero incurred cost, I get back 22 (24 hour days) each year. I’m dreading being told to go back to the office.

  8. George, a bit off subject here:
    Old Joe is still trying to get his “mandate” for EVERY PERSON ON EARTH to bow down to him and “volunteer” to take the experimental “vaccine”.
    If one does accept the shot it is legally done on a voluntary basis which is necessary to continue the farce of total amnesty for the manufacturers of the unusual substance to be injected.
    One of the most important reasons to reject the stuff is that fact of NO liability for the makers.
    No assurance the recipient will not be harmed or killed. No recourse if the recipient is seriously harmed or dies by the shot. No way to remove the peculiar substance from the recipient after injection if it causes harm. There are plenty of cases of death and damage to recipients to inspire high caution to all that take the shot.
    There is no way to know how the shot will affect one in the future. No long term testing occurred. ARE YOU FEELING LUCKY?
    If the government and the manufacturers accepted their liability instead of leaving you on your own with the bills that come after the shot causes harm or death, the “hesitant public” could participate with at least some assurance of medical and financial help paying the “oops, that didn’t work” bills for the treatments to try to save their lives before the vax finished it’s work.
    But NO! The moron brigade in Washington opt to BULLY their way to get the public to “volunteer” for the questionable injection. Joe Bama will make life so hard for them that they will roll over and take a chance they won’t be a victim of it. Just call the deaths “very rare” and keep shoveling.
    That bullying bullschiet doesn’t cut it. Get this act together or get lost!

    • I feel the same as you do Ed. I have health issues that may make the spike protein deadly. And now, as I work on a US Army Base, i am told I have to be fully vaxxed by 12/8. Which means first dose by 11/3.
      So I will start now taking what I am told will dismantle the spike protein.
      1 gram N-Acetal-Cysteine (Just look for NAC)
      2 grams Glysine
      2 grams Vitamin C
      I see all these things at the local vitamin shop, but go to a bulk supplement site that caters to body builders and get the bulk powder.
      Stir into juice every morning for 60 days post vax and the spikes should be all gone.
      I hope it works, for me as well as you.

      • “1 gram N-Acetal-Cysteine (Just look for NAC)”

        Be careful with NAC Al …that is wicked stuff if you take to much..

  9. The thing about offices is that while a good portion of employees are back in offices in my area, (traffic is back with a vengeance) the companies that have yet to make attendance mandatory are still paying their leases…As long as income producing sales continue their hockey stick rise, most corporations are increasing margins due to less building maintenance costs such as utilities, security and admin costs. They are happy to pay the lease expenses because they know that we WILL get back to the office soon enough.
    I always went into the office everyday pre-pandemic…made the adjustment and became much more productive at home as our team set records, but for the past 6 months I have been going regularly to the offices again with a hybrid work model. I get the minutia out of the way from 6:00am-9am at home, work out at the gym from 9-10 and am in the office from 10:30-6pm. More and more of my colleagues are doing the same. I miss the lunches at our local restaurants, the networking at the “water cooler” and the vibrancy in the Main Streets of every town in the Bay Area. We are social creatures and the pent up demand has spilled into the restaurants, theaters, shops and sports venues with an enthusiastic thumbs up! Our economy is booming as a result.

    Now this may just be my world and not yours because we have incredible job producing corporations, beautiful scenery and perfect weather that has no seasons and inclement weather. There is no down time. We also can confidently count on this back to normalcy to last because we did and still are taking a measured approach to the pandemic. We wear our designer masks when we need to, if for nothing else to express our creativity and respect for one another. And we do it with a smile in our eyes. The summer of love has nothing on the 2021 version. All these rules are NOT a violation of my freedom. It’s my ticket to freedom, fun and financial solvency.

    • If anyone gets sick at the office with a fever or severe coughing, they work from home while they get a Covid test; otherwise, everyone is back at the office, with the exception of a couple of people who made arrangements to work from home permanently, for mostly non-Covid issues.
      Masks are optional. If someone starts coughing, don a mask, and notify management that ozone treatment is required.
      In reality, most of us have had jabs, and probably mild cases and microexposures to various, if not all locally circulating revs of Covid. If a new more deadly strain hits, we will make adjustments. Life goes on. State enforced workplace rules are a bad substitute for the employer and coworkers watching your back.

    • It is all fun and games till the music stops, then there might not be a chair left for you, Enjoy while you can, (smile) Tim

    • F ru on those that i visited with about the great depression.. it was similar to now.. they heard rumors and the hints of a possible decline .. but everything seemed positive.. the shock came overnight. One gent had dropped off a huge deposit one day..woke up to the banks being closed.. at this point it wouldn’t take much to flip the whole system upside down..the only thing that’s keeping it moving is the printing presses..and the fact that China still selling stuff cheaply.
      But then you live on the Hill.. megabucks land where the flowers bloom.. my guess is that view of the bay isn’t quite as beautiful in the average wage earner neighborhoods.. they were shifting in the isles N of grocery stores and sidewalks before things started to spiral ..and more expensive..

    • What color is the sky in your world? LOL It is refreshing to see some optimism.
      While there are many problems in this world that need to be dealt with,it is NOT all doom and gloom. Everything doesn’t have to be politicized.

      • “What color is the sky in your world? ”

        LOL LOL.. Your right it isn’t all doom and gloom.. but the difference is what side of the street your on.. for the hill folks.. they are closer to the sun so it is going to be a bright lovely day.. for those at the bottom of the hill.. theres clouds gathering.. People try to shove it to the side but getting notices of rising costs are haunting their every thought… but the talk at the coffee table is getting darker and the view is getting more hopeless.. they are all worried wages are not going up prices are…. Fuel.. just went up a dime a gallon .. that was the big talk.. right at harvest.. Bubba has to make that coin.. when right now the farmer only gets a very small percentage.. I can’t find the figures now but I think it is about five cents per pound or is it point five cents per pound..It is like my cow… with processing and packaging etc.. the cost per pound will be 2.35 cents per pound .. that is everything packaging and processing included.. where seventy thirty ground beef run’s four bucks a pound on sale at the local store..now they only age it two weeks.. so I do have to age my steaks and roasts to get the finer cut meat..

  10. The world of maximum telework has definitely opened the door to some new paradigms and unexplored territory for my agency.

    The group that I work for is sort of an odd animal. We bill ourselves as a ‘virtual’ organization in that our employees are spread over a wide geographic area with no centralized home office. However, we have office space in several offices across the southwest region. So, 99% of our work collaboration, meetings, etc was and is done by virtual conferences using WebEx and Microsoft Teams. It works well enough and greatly cuts down on overhead costs. In the past, I would travel to the different offices on a regular basis just to keep the human interfacing going because I believe that’s important.

    Since the made-for-tv pandemic struck we moved to a maximum telework policy. Basically, everyone is allowed to work from home, although you can go to the office as often as you wish as long as you don’t violate the holy tenants of the covid-religion and sacraments. For my group, we haven’t missed a beat. The mission goes on and FY21 was a HUGE year for us in terms of contract awards and the like.

    Where we are now is that even when we go back to the office (whenever that is) it will probably only be a couple of days a week. I can’t help but wonder why bother at all? It saves the employees a ton of time commuting and money in vehicle costs, lunches, dry cleaning, etc. However, we lose that face-to-face human connection and interaction, though, which as I said before, I think is important.

    All of that leads to the question of why are we spending money on this office space now? Most federally owned property is ‘owned’ and maintained by the GSA. My agency leases the office space from them. Do we really need to do that or are we just maintaining some kind of institutional momentum? If opt to not continue the use of that space, or a much smaller amount of space, what would become of the building and what would happen to GSA as an agency if they become redundant or not needed?

    Somehow this will need to be balanced out in some manner. These are all questions that will be answered above my pay grade, but it doesn’t stop me from thinking and speculating about them.

    To answer Elain’s Question
    I hope you do it Because you enjoy the community.
    Remember self organizing collectives?
    I’ve told you a bit about the place I hunt to the east, and the friend I have there.
    He has told me My Family is one of the ones on the list that do not have to call ahead. If the SHTF I can just show up and the farm manager will find space.
    This site is also a Self Organizing Collective. (No I won’t show up in Texas, calm down). I cone here every day to see and read the comments, debate, and responses of a group of people who are interested in the same issues and have mostly the same goals and attitudes. It is a place where I, and probably many more come for IDEAS and Answers. I am interested in what you write, and in what many others write, like Warhammer, Loot Box, Out of Work Steve, and others.
    And you get to vent to your crew, who come every day to listen.
    You keep saying you will write shorter columns but they seem to be about the same length every day. I hope you enjoy our company a little.
    It can’t be just the money! $40 is 40 minutes of my work time so the major investment is the time to read every day.
    Oh and keep posting all the great Amazon links. I haven’t bought a SW yet but have Family band and CB, and have a few old camping radios that are SW receivers. But reading about set-ups and antennas is also well worth the time.
    Thanks for all you do!

      I always smile to meself when some dumbassed legislative body passes an unenforceable law. The trick is to figure out what could make the law unenforceable, then do that until the po-po figure out it’s another stupid law, and stop enforcing it…

    • exactly… if price increases keep going up.. do what I am planning to do.. shut off the phone.. if you don’t make the hundred bucks a month to pay for a phone.. let them pay your phone service charges.. Government workers here are not that excited about being to active..I don’t know how it is there..
      When I worked waste management.. we got a call for a bad spill along the interstate.. we called the hazardous waste disposal unit.. the guy came out upset that we interrupted the price is right show with his slippers and pajamas on.. he worked from home.. all upset.. what he did was tap the guidelines and say follow official guidelines.. LOL LOL LOL the highway boys after he left said what costs 160,000 and sleeps eight.. the new truck they got LOL LOL LOL don’t sit on their Krispy Kreams though.. LOL LOL LOL Of course that i think is why they built all those camps.. to put smart azzes in them that won’t comply with their mandates.. Makes you wonder just how long they knew about all of this..

  16. ” Besides, I can’t be SEEN if I have a mask on…”
    I have seen a marginal rate of return on SHAVING among us sequestered homebodies. I just gave up shaving for days at home. I only go out for groceries, and I usually shave before going out. But I notice plenty of males with stubble showing around the edges of their masks. After all… what’s the point of shaving if a mask covers it all?

    My wife asks me.. what are you looking at.. PORN… see I wanna know how the govt. Is screwing me..
    Why do you.. thank god you do..it gives all of us something to look forward to..and it keeps the mind occupied..a venting post.. and an expanded view of progression. Why do the farmers sit at the elevator and the local coffee shop discussing exactly what we do here..
    I know I consider dumping the internet cable and cell phones.. the savings would be shy a grand a month and since we live in an antenna dead zone I’d definitelyhave to find another thing to do..hmm probably why the parents had so many kids.. but that would save almost a grand a month with all the subscriptions we have..

  21. Just curious but are unemployment figures to be released this week? Typically, on the Wednesday prior to the Friday release, the preliminary estimates from ADP are generally out and the market starts to anticipate the glorious figures to be released- haven’t seen anything on the financial websites at all. It just seems awful quite….

    The open borders group behind last weekend’s harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) at Arizona State University (ASU) is linked to left-wing billionaire George Soros, a vital donor to the Democrat Party.

    Some kneeler really should’ve [redacted] that SOB when he broke the Bank of England in 1992…

  23. “Why? Who benefits from chaos”

    I think it’s all about control and dependence Ray… one in two are dependent on social programs for survival.. 76 % receive funds from relief funds and tax programs.. if your the one that dictates them.. take quinine it use to be 2.50 for a bottle of 50 now its ten bucks a tablet..

    • Yeah, I suppose the cops the City of Austin fired when they defunded the department are probably on relief now. So why do you suppose George Soros doesn’t want the City of Austin to rehire them…?

      • “So why do you suppose George Soros doesn’t want the City of Austin to rehire them…?”

        Hmmm.. could it be its a gateway!!!!

        My bigger question is.. WHY does the present administration and the democrats want to weaken America and defund the police?
        I get they give the democrats a lot of money and very expensive gifts and vacations.. jobs to family and themselves.. BUT… when the dollar is worth as much or less then Zimbabwe money and the elements arrive to disassemble our nation or start a Jihad against the American way.. who do you think they would go after first.. Usually the old saying is take the Head off of the snake….up to now we have done so much so that a very few could prosper all for a few silver coins… those against our way of life know that it is the legislators in office that make those decisions.. why do you think they give so much to the child that that is protected . I believe it is to show just how bad our system is towards corruption of those in office.. Lets face it almost every nation and country around the world has ran stories in their news outlets saying look at what they do and the American people support this kind of action and behaviors from those that have money influence and political power…seriously it doesn’t matter what I think.. but if they were paying attention to what the world is thinking and telling all their people.. what should be concerning them is the world view.. then look at just how many allies that china and russia have acquired recently..from my perspective its not a good view from a nobody in the middle of nowhere..

      • Is the Revelation of John a prophesy of God, or an allegory of an end-times prophesy, worded in such a manner that uneducated peasants of 2000 years ago could understand it?

        No, of course Soros isn’t Satan, but wouldn’t he make a dandy Devil’s Agent or Devil’s Advocate? A Jew who joins the Brownshirts and the Nazi Party, and turns in family & friends alike to the SS…?

        I have been watching and studying this person for nearly 30 years, and I can think of nothing he’s done in that entire stretch of time, which was beneficial or beneficent toward any society or civilization of Man. What his motive or motivation may be, I don’t care. I judge his intent by the outcomes he achieves, and his intent is not good.

        This is why I came to the conclusion in about 1997 or ’98 that Soros was a bellwether, and whatever he was doing politically was the diametric opposite of what should be done to achieve best results, regardless the nation in which he was doing it. So far, this conclusion has proven correct 100% of the time…

  24. George,

    I’m looking forward to your discussion of laying tile over laminate! Laminate is a polished slippery surface. Honestly, I think just ripping out the laminate and replacing it with “wonderboard” as a tile base would be a better option. That way, for example, if you were going with the 2’ x 3’porcelain tile made to look like Carrera marble you can position them side by side and leave thinner grout lines.

    Anyway here’s looking forward to Sunday’s discussion.
