B gone this week. Keeping son's 2 boys this week, aged 7 and 10. Heading to Mt. Pleasant (just north of Charleston) in morning. Up early Tuesday morning for half day of deep sea fishing. Eldest one like Stu -- rather fish than eat. Wednesday morning off to North Carolina for couple days at a water park hotel complex for young kids to old kids (like me ). Grandma has issued a executive order that there will be no electronic devices resembling a computer (order specifically named grandpa as co-conspirator) -- we are to communicate by talking...
Thanks and have a great trip!

Crapitalism is just part of the smoke and mirrors that keeps the poor down, feeds them just enough to work and gives the elite all the wealth ! It stinks really.
Name a thriving Socialist country run by a Socialist Government, a current real World example.

Now I know you will be tempted to say the Nordics, but they have rejected Socialism for the most part and are moving to a more centre-right government style as they can no longer afford their socialist policies (lots of facts and info out there on this subject)

Socialism is entraps and ensures welfare dependency and where you have both of these you have these you have near total control

That Tower block fire a few days ago in London just shows what corner and cost cutting achieves ! Sprinkler systems were recommended years ago but not installed. Someone made some extra bucks but at the cost of lives being lost and a NEW tower is needed.
You use the tragedy in the London Tower Block as an example of the evil side of Capitalism, yet the official enquiry has yet to start, and whilst you may be correct in what you say about the cause, like me, you do not have the facts. But here are some facts for you about Socialism

{quote} French toilets require the skills of Bomber Harris
The French do seem to be phasing out their holes in the ground. Not too long ago, they were pretty much everywhere even in the ski resorts. Now imagine (I know you guys don't have to give this a second thought) that the floor is deep in piss, you have to take your jacket off to undo your salopettes, so you're holding onto your jacket, your gloves, sunglasses and trying not to drop a damn thing whilst trying to wee into a hole! Now imagine it with children.

They also seem to like unisex toilets a lot. So we have to walk past a line of urinals (hoping we don't get too traumatised by the sights) to get to the cubicles. There was a sign I once saw which basically said do not defecate in the urinals!

The insulation was fire rated Celotex and there should have been fire barriers per floor ,
Also gas pipes were just installed ,apparently fire boxed in the staircase ,but not along the floors which I already seen photos ,lots of reports blue flames
were talking mains pressure gas not like in your home after the meter, incomplete fire protection boxing could be as bad as or worse than none

My understanding is its the fire brigade testing the panels as we speak ,my guess is know ones saying the spec because now liabilities, insurance, and jail are involved also a inderpendent test is now required on the actual product If the Panels are not fire rated someone broke the law probably the contractor not the government or the council or maybe wasn't fitted properly , the possible options of combined fault are limitless like many major accidents its probably a combination of many factors coming together with a whole raft of possibilities...

I don't lump Socialism in with Communism, which is the extreme, anymore than lumping in crapitalism with Nazism.

One in which interests me the most currently and may present a shorter term trade opportunity to go short. I amstill not convinced the Euro is bullish!

Further evidence that the Euro is not bullish, or is it in a dormant stage at this point before continuing up? I am willing to bet on the short, but not before the week plays out.

This one is of most interest at the present time. Wondering how much longer this wild ride is going to continue before an overdue correction takes place?

You probly know I'm a bit of a gold bug - for anyone with the same views you might like this... Another cryptics statement Donald Trump made in 2015 is also quite interesting in this context.A return to a gold standard would be very difficult,.....
The trouble is .... 8000 tonnes (if it exists) is only worth ~$321bn @ $1250/oz .... and that defines the maximum amount of hard currency that can exist. Nixon (et al) realised this to be a hindrance on government regeneration and infrastructure spending, and created the fiat $ along with a load of propaganda that the new $ is just as good as the old $.

Therefore...

No. It only stinks for those who want to blame others for their ineptness and failures in life! In other words self reliance is not a concept that they embrace, only what they seek to get for free.
