Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

I went to a restaurant auction the other day. Lots of nice stuff was going for more money than I wanted to spend. After the sale I was walking out back and saw someone piling food onto the loading dock. I asked what was going on. He said that they were clearing out the stock room. Then he said they were going to toss it so if I wanted anything to help myself.

I carted off several gallons of olive oil in steel cans, a case of cooking wine, several pounds of salt and about a case of baking chocolate. I didn't have time to get more before the truck came to take it.

Probably worth the effort to check the restaurants in your area. Many of them will be closing due to the downturn in the economy. The fixtures they auction -- the stores they dump.

Nice find! I will have to remember to keep a look-out for restaurant closings in my area.
