The U.S. needs to be more like Canada,
Mick Russom said:
Canada has low population (35 million) and unlimited natural resources relatively speaking. Comparing the two situations is kind of stupid.

Futuristic High-Speed Tube Travel Could Take You From New York to Los Angeles in,
Mick Russom said:
Moving people is really silly given tel-presence. And given automation and robotics, more and more will become unemployed and moving will be obsolete. Just strap on the mind programming device and sit in your mind prison like a good little sheeple. Now, where is my hour of hate, 1984 style, have to have something to hate to keep the police state growing.

Doctor stops accepting insurance, posts prices online,
Mick Russom said:
Cash for healthcare will be the model shortly. In a large part due to medical tourism. Rich - get on a plane, and pay for what you need. Poor, well, if you fall into the wrong brackets, get denied care and die. Simple. Its coming. In fact, those seeking off-label and unapproved medicine already travel to get care, as well as those rich enough to buy organs (think Steve Jobs / Liver).

The Top 1% Now Controls 39% Of The World's Wealth - Business Insider,
Mick Russom said:
The 0.001% control everything. Money isnt even what they want, its power and control. And they have it. The class warfare rubbish is what the power brokers throw like meat in a mongrel dog fight to keep the classes warring and the eyes of the rich political, banking and oligarchical collectivist nightmare forming a totalitarian police state. 1984 is here.

Rising Mortgage Rates, House Prices a Lethal Brew,
Mick Russom said:
Debt is money. So there is seemingly no end to the ponzi scheme. In a economy driven by disposable incoming driving consumer spending, it seems odd that the moron government wants a massive rise in cost of living.
And those who make money off of other's pain, bartender style, will parrot the good that they do and see themselves not as rapist landlords but those providing a service.

America Has Lost the Will to Swim for Its Life, Apparently, Because Obama - Yaho,

Yes, life is so simple, its all black and white, and if your side just won, all would be good. Except both sides have won for periods of time , and things get worse. Leads me to believe that these "sides" are a ruse. Bread and circus.

Obamacare is driving health insurance prices down,
Mick Russom said:
People at my wife's CA state job are furious with this rubbish. They have gold plated Cadillac plans at the school district and the cost has gone up radically and is slated for one more increase this year. Oh, and no COLA adjustments either.
So even the friends of this legislation are really perplexed with the promise and what got delivered.

Stockman vs Orszag,
Mick Russom said:
Its a great interview. I seriously doubt most folks will listen to the whole thing. I did, but most will blow off these guys who know the numbers. David Walker, Orzag, etc, doesn't matter. We are in Bubble v3.0. all si good. The middle class continues to shrink along with disposable incomes and the standard of living.

You and him can argue with me all day about the causes, etc. Doesn't matter to me why, what matters is being right and making money.
So the fed can print money forever? ZIRP worked in Japan? There are no consequences to monetizing debt to support a false expansion on borrowed money?

Do with less - so THEY will have enough!,
Mick Russom said:
Matt Taibbi did a few huge exposes on Goldman Sachs, how our current illustrious regime and the one before are bought and paid for by the same people and documented the fraud fairly well. Then his readership, rolling stone idiots, couldnt parse what he had written, so he went back to churning out salon.com junk.
( http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-great-american-bubble-machine-20100405 )
The tea leaves are easy to read, power structures are controlling everything, and we are in a command economy made up by the controllers. Its a farce. And the scheme will last until those in charge had the most to gain by perturbations in the system.
The whole thing at this point in a bloody joke.
The two party system (idiot flavor 1 vs idiot flavor 2) is exactly what these controllers need to keep the idiocracy going for another day. week. month. year. decade? century?

Will prices go down in SF Bay Area?,
Mick Russom said:
Inflation doesn't work that way. Generally, incomes trail inflation, so over time, your purchasing power drops.
Ask anyone living off of earned income with real expenses who pay most of the taxes and do all of the work and they know this to be true.
Roberto Aribas thinks we are built to serve him, however, because he can borrow masses of taxpayer funded 0% money and get-rich-quick matthew lesko style by doing nothing. Doing nothing is what awesome economies are built on, Roberto knows this, he teaches and preaches it.

no matter how implausible
Rome stuck to their guns until the end of the empire when Diocletian inflated the currency to try and fix the empire's lack of profitable expansion. The rest is history. You cant solve a debt bubble with more debt. Just keynesian-feb bubbles go in cycles but at some point the rails come off. This is just monopoly with real people's lives in the balance.

What Could Cause Interest Rates to Rise?,
Mick Russom said:
False low interest rates are probably here to stay. Inflation will be in fundamental cost of living, food , transportation, tuition, health care, etc. The standard of living will drop as long as the rates stay low. Monetize the debt.

Video: California exodus will get worse,
Mick Russom said:
This state (CA) sucks, the jobs are decent but dont pay a living wage for $1M moldy asbestosy Popsicle stick shacks with crap school districts and terrible stupid zoning and increasing traffic and Marissa Mayer saying we all have to be physically at work like good little soldiers. Anyone coming here is insane. Id rather be poor and spend more time with family than keep doing this black hole suburb of Shanghai Rat Race.
Central Valley stinks, Los Angeles is hell on earth, and San Diego only has jobs in defense and healthcare, otherwise its a very tight market.
The state is a bad proposition, and SFBA is a low standard of living. Very low. Good weather, decent jobs, but bad living.
