I am certain that 99% of our website viewers are not aware that if you raise the home page, there are three columns which everyone should read. The reason I know that most don’t even know they’re there, we because I get one question continually, and that is: “Suppose they confiscate my gold like […]
India is a crushingly poor nation. Its inhabitants live in squalor for the most part, even though India seems to be rising a bit, and some progress is being made. India’s infrastructure of railways, electrical, telephone, etc, plus government structure, was all done under English rule. The Brits civilized India, taught them English, taught […]
That’s been my subject, many times over the last ten years, but it’s time we mentioned it again, because of the ratio situation. Throughout history, the ratio between gold and silver has been 16 to 1. Put another way, gold has generally been 16 times more expensive than silver, in all nations, years, centuries, […]
That’s a lot of dollars, isn’t it? It has been announced by the treasury, that anywhere from $600 billion to a trillion buckeroos will be placed in circulation fairly soon. It’s the old lemonade stand again, or as they call it, ’quantitative easing.’ It was tried a couple of years ago by the Democrats, […]
That about sums it up in the well known ’nutshell,’ doesn’t it? Is the federal government, supposed to PROTECT its citizens, or PROVIDE them with food, shelter, and all sorts of goodies which may be voted upon by a corrupt Congress? A state government should be able to do anything it chooses to do, […]
I wish I didn’t have to do what I do for a living. While it’s nice to talk to people, and protect them from the ravages of inflation, it would be far better if such businesses as mine, didn’t have to exist. I’ve been writing about what life was like when I was a […]
I have a lot of fond memories of entertainment in those halcyon days gone by. Radio? You bet. See, with a radio, your mind has to work. You imagine Fiber McGee and Molly’s closet crashing to the floor, Superman flying through the sky, The Shadow solving a crime, or Jack Benny’s Maxwell maybe. Fred […]
I haven’t forgotten about “Days of Yore” and I will continue next week, describing those halcyon days gone by. Currently, what is going on in D.C. is so absurd, as to be laughable if it weren’t so tragic. The goons invent a name for everything, so as to make it impossible to understand, or […]
Governments spend $200 million a day, fixing and building roads. Streetcar tracks last virtually forever. 70% of ’rush hour’ traffic on freeways, is bumper to bumper. In 1946, 23.4 billion people rode streetcars and busses. Streetcars ran on the busiest of streets and avenues, with busses connecting to them from various neighborhoods. In 2009, […]
In case you didn’t know, I’m ancient. Born in 1934, which to most means I am a decrepit old man, who has lost his sense, and is ready to be put out to pasture. Not true with me. My old age, allows me to remember things so long past, that youth usually doesn’t even […]
