9:03 AM i like your dads response

9:04 AM you are reading too much crap

me: I know I laughed too

9:05 AM me: fortunately my (our) fathers are smart enough to have side stepped the whole thing and know the only person that is ever going to take care of you is yourself

Bowie: I dunno......sometimes I wonder
Certainly more so than average, but I have my doubts.

The timeless financial wisdom of those who lived through the great depression was somehow lost on many of their children.

me: I know it is unbelievable
Why are we ~27 and understand this better?
are we just arrogant, or are we really smarter?

about the email I just sent

9:06 AM John: nice

well

9:07 AM i think we were saved by WWII the first time around and it was different bc everything was based on gold

this depression is in many ways different

they are trying to do it in the wrong way from what i understand

i could be totally wrong

you know better than i

9:08 AM me: I agree with you...you know I purchased a hand gun

gold and silver

and a landcruiser

and outdoor gear

John: also the people in office think that just throwing money at everything will fix it

me: and a solar panel

John: haha

wow

nice

me: the problem is people DO NOT UNDERSTAND

John: that is true

9:09 AM me: it isnt money that needs to be thrown at something it is VALUE!

John: yea

me: money is a representation of value

if people dont believe it anymore then it is worthless

9:10 AM I would argue that inflation is just the slow erosion of people's believe in the value of a dollar

with the advent of creative financing it just got worse

John: yea

i agree

9:11 AM i think that people just dont think

or rather think deeply enough about consequences

look for a quick fix

9:13 AM me: Who needs nukes when bankers have ink?

just read that

9:14 AM thought it was funny

John: hahaha

i like that

sad but true

9:18 AM have you still been running

i think if i had infinite wealth

9:19 AM i would like to live in newport and fly to austin for gmes

games

everyweekend

that would be nice

im kind of jealous of you getting to live there

any more thoughts on the boat

9:21 AM me: Two Word Jokes Friday

Been really getting into one word jokes lately. Word's like "normal;" and "transparency" go into my Book of One Word Jokes which features other, older jokes now pretty much in the scrap heap of history: "Peace." "Equality." "Freedom." "Progress."

9:22 AM we shall see

John: lol

me: yeah, Stephen Pearce has been doing it for a few years now

John: yea

me: I am so jealous that I am taking over his life style

9:23 AM John: i am jealous
