Default Re: Broke...To The Future

Dien,

The seminar speaker was Jack Miller, now deceased.

A couple of months ago, I ran across my notes from that seminar and read through them again.

Pondering that information, while watching things develop, has been a real eye opener for me.

Jack said that the problems were built into the system and they would play out badly over time.

He said you may be young now, but if you are still alive when this happens, you'll be old and your
best years, as far as health and productivity, will be behind you.

I was in my 30's then. I couldn't really grasp the things he was describing. It was a very different time.

But, he was right. I have lived to see the beginnings of the things that he described. And, it is coming down
just the way he said it would.

Somewhere I have the workbook from that seminar. I'm not sure that I want to find it.

Ron

May I ask, do you remember who the speaker was?

Sounds like he had some real insights...!


To me, this sounds like it makes sense...

People want and need to be supported, especially as they get older...

Some people are okay. They've got a good "nest egg" stashed away.

But many don't. They'll need help...

Social security is running out of money. How to fund it all?

Of course, more tax paying immigrants is one possibly solution... More tax payers means more government money, and means potentially more money going into social security...

There may be other answers (I haven't really thought it through, or read what others have said)... But I can see the argument...

Very interesting. Who knows what will happen...

It's a big Pandora's box right now, as I see it...

Best wishes,

Dien

Hi Ron,

Thanks - I'll try to find out more info on Jack Miller...

Sounds like he had some real insights into things...!

Imagine if you could know the future?

You can always do well for yourself (well, better than others), if you know the future, and others don't see it...

Of course, a lot of future predictors get it wrong...

Alvin Toffler predicted the decline of cities... However, from what I see, most cities seem to just keep getting bigger and bigger. On the other hand, from what I've read, many smaller towns (at least here in Australia) struggle to maintain their populations...

Of course, some cities have shrunk. Like Detroit (for example)...

How to make money from that? One way is to buy property in cities where the population is predicted to grow...

Thanks for sharing that, Ron... I'm keen to know more...!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Re: Donald "Biff" Trump and Predisposed susceptibilites...

Darned good post. Speaking of Agora I too receive several free newsletters from these guys and, yes Dien, fear is their selling point.

So, let me add guns into the fear factor. Do you know how you can profit from guns w/o owning a single gun or bullet?

If you do, jump on it now. I think the window for upward appreciation is limited but it is still there. Especially if obummer issues his next gun control executive order.

Speaking of the Biffer and Clinton, most people don't know these are 2 peas in the same pod. One uses it via capitalist principles while the other uses it using political thug principles. Your job, should you chose to accept it, is to figure out which is which or who is who.

Oh, and I can't leave out The Bern, a true F****** idiot. He doesn't even know the principles exist. Mind you this is nothing political. It is simply taking their own statements and regurgitating them in a different set of words.

This is a fun forum. So much better than the WF, at least according to me.

Whomever the next President is going to be...

Americans are going to get what they deserve.

Which may be why guys like Bonner have escape retreats out of country???
