Participant[quote=walterwhite]I’m pretty sure that this whole ignore user thing was directed at me.[/quote]
No – your comments are way to short to even bother ignoring.
BG, though. If I ignored her posts, it would likely increase the bandwidth of my neighbors’ internet connections.
ParticipantYay. Europe is saved. The stock market will never go down now.
Participant[quote=Fearful]Ouch.
A too-little-too-late piece of advice: Home warranties are not worth jack. I am astonished by how much money they make for the companies. And I have been suckered in multiple times myself. Never again.
It is really unpleasant to contemplate, but you ought to re-pipe in the attic (assuming you are in a single story). Furthermore, do it right; this is plumbing that will be there for the remaining life of the house. Also, it involves tearing apart walls to access the bibbs; don’t settle for lousy drywall work.
Sorry for your predicament. Again, ouch; I feel your pain.[/quote]
Home warranties are a good thing when transferring ownership. The seller pays and the buyer gets the benefit. After a year or two, then just let it go.
This rerouting thing is a pain, but once done, you’ll be fine. I think every house in Clairmont has or will need this done.
Participant[quote=walterwhite]I got it without the font. Please don’t ignore me[/quote]
Did you say something ?
🙂
ParticipantCan someone please tell me what walterwhite just said ?
Participant[quote=SK in CV][quote=sdduuuude]I leave you guys alone for a few days and now – not only inflation is possibly the Jews’ fault but anyone who says so is, by definition, a bigot ? Wow. You people are crazy. Glad I got out when I did.[/quote]
I really don’t want to point out the fallacy in your claim, it’s gone on long enough. But if you really think that’s the way it went down, you probably should re-read the thread.[/quote]
The sarcasm font would have been useful here.
Participant[quote=desmond]Yes, why would you want to read somebody with a different opinon?[/quote]
I wouldn’t ignore somebody w/ a different opinion, just the same one over and over and over.
ParticipantI’m gonna put powayseller on my list, just for old times sake.

ParticipantIf you can’t grunt in a gym, where the hell can you grunt?
Totally OK to grunt in a gym !
Participant[quote=markmax33][quote=briansd1]markmax33, I think you live in a fantasy land.
When credit contracts (as when banks fail and don’t lend) the economy suffers.
For example Boeing could lose orders if Air France, or Emirates can’t get their European banks to finance their plane purchases. The workers in Seattle get punished by layoffs. That’s how ruthless the markets are.[/quote]
Brian – You are missing my point. Banks are not part of a market! They are controlled by the federal reserve and it hasn’t been a free market for years! The federal reserve system and Keynesian economics are very inefficient and that’s how we got here. Stop blaming the free market because we surely don’t have one![/quote]
Don’t even try, MM.
Don’t even try. Trust me on this.Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Is it just me or is markmax starting to sound like this guy?

There’s something to be said for consistency.
Participant[quote=briansd1]The thing about the markets it they don’t punish the ones responsible, but they punish ordinary people.[/quote]
Sometimes you say things that aren’t even closely related to reality.
Participant[quote=Arraya][quote=sdduuuude][quote=Arraya] … throwing money at where the system is seizing up.[/quote]
Dude – that IS Keynsian economics ![/quote]
Yeah, in a very general sense. Then again, it is avoiding a revolutionary change/collapse. Just letting the “market” work things out would not manifest how the laissez faire advocates think.[/quote]
Almost a strawman argument. You suggest that most such advocates think the market would be beautiful and stable. I’m not one of them. I do think, however, it would be better in the long-run.
[quote=Arraya]Keynes essentially said the state has to invest at certain times to avoid certain serious instability. He was correct. If it was not for intervention unemployment levels would be double and there would be serious unrest. Not to say, it’s not coming – but that has little to do with government intervention – the USG is keeping the whole thing from imploding.. The difference with fiat/fractional reserve vs gold backed/non-fractional reserve is the size and frequency of the crises[/quote]
If we weren’t so far in debt, we wouldn’t need the intervention.
The cost of short-term stability is long-term disaster.
Two analogies I like:
It’s like putting a patch on a hose as the pressure builds. Then a stronger patch, then a stronger patch. Eventually, the patch loses.
Also, it’s like jumping off an elevator that only goes up. Not jumping now means more pain later.
That’s Keynsian economics. Keynsian econ seems to work, but the current credit/debt situation is going to throw it for a loop, to everyone’s detriment.
Also, having unemployment at double the current level may be the right thing if it recovers to half the current level more quickly.
