SSHHHH!!!!! While obvious to you and me, "He" needs wiki to teach him anything, but he might evolve and actually start reading posts.

So OF2, things are looking up, thanks to unemployment Benefits. If it was'nt for that, we'd be up poos creek without a paddle. I'll tip a glass your way tonight. Otherwise, TAKE A HIKE! :x


Look at it this way...according to many around here, this far into the post peak world you aren't even supposed to be ALIVE. Between Master Blaster and Tina Turner, you wouldn't have stood a chance.

But instead....you'll be lolly gagging around until summer on the dole without anyone having even BUILT Thunderdome yet!

Absolutely! Where would the world be without Wiki? Hell, half of what I think I know came from that source! :mrgreen:

The other half, which has not done me a hellofalotofgood, came from public education. I chose, probably unwisely, at the age of 18, to go to work building aircraft. It paid handsomely up until October 2001. after that, its been downhill ever since. And at age 48, I am just not interested, or even the slightest bit enthused about going back to school. Image

And as far as that goes, I have a female friend who, like you, has three degrees. One of them the much vaunted (BWAHAHA!) MBA. She has been out of work longer than I have. So whats the point?

Not gonna happen unless something happens to my wifes job. And since she works in the medical field, she is more than likely safe.

So I'll be sitting here at this keyboard, getting unemployment, until next summer. I sure am glad all we have is a mortgage. All of our vehicles are paid for, no credti cards. So unless TSHTF, as OF2 says, "things are looking up!" :mrgreen:

Unfortunate. I haven't seen a public school in many a decade now. I evacuated early.

Same here. Once, in my 30's, I thought about it, but then decided against it. For me, at 18, it would have been truck driving. I came close enough to "Ernies School Of Driving" to scare my mom. But even as a youth I was wise beyond my years. Back in the late-70's, someone could have talked me into being an aircraft mechanic...its what dad did.

Prepare for uncertainty. Death, taxes, uncertainty.

His last post was almost devoid of content though he at least is willing to consider that a double dip recession is possible.

His question, if you've quoted it accurately, is pretty meaningless. I suppose if prices are high for a long period (say 3 years) but production doesn't increase, then we may conclude that peak has occurred. Of course, it's always possible for some easy to produce super giant to be found somewhere which might challenge a peak if brought on quickly enough but I certainly don't accept that. However, we'll probably start to see actual shortages before we realise that.

As for his discussion, anyone can create their own discussion. Get over it.

Of course. They have happened before, and I am a big fan of historical precedent.

The Big Day arrives tomorrow. :) In the meantime, new home sales declined 3.6% in the wake of the new home buyer credit nearing an end, but durable goods orders rose for the 4th time in 6 months .
