Ok... joking aside...

Just saw an update... um... this is almost getting stupid... and Dow is down almost 3,000 points.

Kimberly-Clark(TP maker) is doing all right.

I'm betting they crash at $175.

Yank what ever money is in stocks and put in the money market. When stocks begin to recover, buy low.
As it is, if the stock market goes to 2008 levels it could take years to just get back to where you were. Many more to recover loses if ever.
I never really trusted giving control of my money to a system as fickle as the stock market. To reap where you haven't sown.
Or start a worm farm.

 

[Duckshot]

To reap where you haven't sown.

What do you mean?

 

[BillA]

the horse in gate 3 vs General Mills vs Boeing for example

[BillA]

indeed, becoming quite the spectacle
viewed as a puzzle, its clear most human constructs are inadequate to solve problems for they cannot identify solutions

 

[BillA]

and after all the unrelenting criticism ?
but appreciate that the current situation is a consequence of actions taken - or not
words are kinda like toilet paper, after the fact window dressing
only actions count

life'll kill ya

 

[BillA]

Jeff, the first 100 years are the hardest, after that its all downhill
I guess I may rationalize it, but have no desire to see my 80s

 

[BillA]

Good example of the kind of empathy that we see from our leaders.

was not aware that (US) leaders were chosen on the basis of empathy ? ?
a promoter/bankruptcy specialist is what was needed

 

[BillA]

personal enrichment seems far ahead of helping the plebs

This planet... when striped away of all the human creations and "creature comforts"... is in fact an almost inhospitable place for humans.

It truly has been a struggle since our beginning against the Earth's forces of its natural nature.

 

[BillA]

the present population would deny your observation
but yes, that is the impetus for our insane breeding

 

[ARC]

Get dropped off in the middle of the desert... on top of a mountain... in the middle of the sea... etc etc.... with nothing but the shirt on your back.

Then talk to me about humans having the "upper hand" on the forces of nature.

Does not compute.

It is only through great loss and extreme perseverance that humans have gained ONLY... repeat ONLY... a SMALL... repeat SMALL foothold of an existence.

Which... through the force of any one cataclysmic natural movement of the earth... could in fact... change it all.

 

[BillA]

excuse me, who the hell "dropped you off"
you (yes ARC, even you) probably had parents who did not 'drop' you on the trail
it is that human parents care for and instruct their young

a couple of onion layers down from 'civilization'

 

[ARC]

Many who keep having more kids with no job definitely play a major part in this ... also IMO.

Overall... Breeding is natural... BUT in this era... over breeding has become a strain and an economics issue... a societal imbalance issue.

No... I was referring to the general "hostility" of the Earth in general. :P

 

[BillA]

africa ?

 

[ARC]

Who you calling Africa... and lower case "A" at that.

:P....
