Watch out for Super Mutants in the DC hell hole.

I really don’t know.
I think Schiff didn’t realize in the wake of the financial crisis, how long the economy could be kept going on life support, which is why his clients didn’t have the best year.
His general ideas make perfect sense, but our economy and really, the world economy, which is what we’re all merging into, is one complex system.
My intuition tells me that in such a complex system, for a local economy to start behaving sensibly can sometimes be put off for quite a bit, maybe even for a generation.
We should have had a major reckoning a decade ago, but it was postponed, because no one in power wants a major recession on their watch, and because those who are making mega bucks from a booming economy don’t mind keeping the party going for another ten years, then so what if it crashes? They’re set for life no matter what.
I suspect those in power are hoping that they can keep us sputtering along for us to somehow grow our economy out of it or gently inflate our way out of it or both.
And it might be a desperate hope, but it could be the only hope.
Extend and pretend ... except I don’t think they can kick this can any further before the elections in 2012.
Well I know I feel better. Not!
A wishing well?
*teasing*
We have a well, and are very happy to have it.
If the power quits, ya gotta haul the water up by hand, though..
Yup you do but the water is there.
This is true!
Man, it sure is scary reading stuff like this article..
I tend to believe him.
Gonna plow up a small field next spring for growing veggies and stuff.
I think we’ll prolly get some chickens again too..
Sigh...
I am not a reactionary or conspiracy type, but this administration has me scared.
BTW.
You know what that white stuff is on top of chicken poop?
It has me scared, too.
Nothing wrong with being prepared!
LOL
No...what?
No there isnt. You’ll use everything you produce.
LOL
Go to your room!
I will!
I got to go to bed.
Have a good evenin MsB
You too!
;0)
Go for it. I got mine at 62 and have never looked back.
And do it now. You can do it all online but it takes SSA some time to get it set up. If your birthday is in Oct, you should get your first check in Dec. Auto deposit, natch.
I have an electric well. The pump sits at 190 feet. I understand, but don't know for sure, that the aquifer runs 100-140 feet down. How do you haul the water up by hand?
A bad economy can often mean a much bigger government:
Watch out for Super Mutants in the DC hell hole.
Ours is an old fashioned “dug” well, with concrete sides.
It is about 15 feet deep.
We have to move aside the concrete lid, and drop a bucket down in there.
