Jagshemash! The situation with Brazilian model can easily be solved by globalize. In my country women can be purchased for Kazakhi kizbeks. 1100 kizbeks to the US dollar! Is big bargain for Americans, you can buy many women for cheap. For example, my sister is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan, and her price only 750 kizbeks for hand treatment or 2000 kizbeks for make sexy time. Very nice!

Unless you’re worth millions, take the full pension and move to Canada ASAP. Any middle-class retiree who stays in the US hasn’t been paying attention. Medicaid/SS are on the way out. They’re going to be slashed to pay for more corporate welfare. The scam drug benefit was step 1. Next because of the huge drug payouts to big pharma, medicaid is gonna be in trouble and they’ll have to “fix” it which of course means privatization. And of course that means your insurance “provider” is gonna deny any claims you make while cheerfully cashing your premium checks. These will likely be at least $1000 a month because you’re getting up there in years. And that’s if you’re in perfect health! If you have diabetes, heart conditions, etc… forget it. No one will cover you at a price you can afford.

If you don’t want to go to Canada, you could just get into holistic/alternative medicine and forget about ever going to the doctor again.

Sorry to be so harsh but it really is that bad.

Duke, you’ve got lots of good points and cheers for roughing it on your travels down there. But I’m sure you’ve seen just how desperate the situation is for so many down there. I was just trying to point out that Chinese corruption, poverty, and pollution isn’t that different than the variety that you see in places like Peru or Ecuador. At least they have elections in Peru as opposed to China, but most of the poor people I met down there didn’t feel that their politicians did anything for them.

The piracy issue is a good one, they don’t respect western property rights at all. And of course they produce massive amounts of pollution and have a bad human rights record. Makes you wonder why we import so many goods from them, doesn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s because Bubba signed that free trade agreement with them back in the 90s. Thanks Bubba.

I wouldn’t even try to equate ourselves with China. Do you have a good sense of how much corruption is going on over there and how much background poverty you are not seeing?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yep there is no corruption in the USA. Enron? Just a good business model that got screwed up by a couple of bad apples. And certainly there isn’t any background poverty here in the US. Appalachia? What’s that? South Texas colonias? Never heard of ’em. Mississippi? Isn’t that a kind of pie?

I told my extended family that I have absolutely no interest in wasting my vacation time in visiting relatives in China when I can be hiking down in Peru or Ecuador and not be caught up by the crass commercialism and culture of excess that you currently see over there.

Yes, you’ll be much more comfortable in Peru and Ecuador where all of the wealthy people are protected by high fences and private guards with machine guns to keep the teeming masses of impoverished, malnourished poor from tearing them limb from limb. It’s not all Macchu Picchu and Cuzco down there, trust me. Actually I do recommend travel to South America because it will prepare you for the future of this country. Privatized everything. Rampant corruption. Massive numbers of dispossessed poor people. Old diseases you thought didn’t exist anymore, like leprosy, cholera, and typhoid. Coming soon to your town! Hopefully you’ve got enough money saved up to hire some private guards…

It is also funny how the word millionaire is still tossed around as if it means a person is like Jed Clampett living in his Beverly Hills mansion. $1M from the time of the Beverly Hillbillies (1967?) would be worth $5M today. And $1M in today’s money would be around $200K back then. So a million american pesos ain’t what it used to be. Soon we’ll all be millionaires!
