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.

Ageism, sheesh! Ancient news.
Baby boomers were once call Hippies and Flower Children and were against the war (Vietnam) that their forefathers had inflicted against them.
Your generation will be a sack of stuff in its own day, when that comes. It's like the old lament about "children today....." and "In my day...) All nonsense. We are all the same if put in the same circumstances at the same stage of life.
You just lack perspective. You'll see, someday. _________________ When going through hell, keep going! Churchill

The reason why they were called hippie's and flower children, is because they were a bunch of spoiled little bit*hes who were hopped up on drugs in the 60's. Then in the 70's when they run out of daddy's money, they sold out on the idea of love and peace, got a divorce and became the selfish consuming dirtballs we know today. Oh by the way my parents rock, I would take a bullet for them. I would be a little pissed, but I would take it.

Right on, Newfie.
But at least we had critical thinking skills and weren't faced with the end of the world.

I dunno Cid. My "church" is a bunch of left leaning liberal do gooders. lotsa Drs., Lawyers, and academics. All eligible for 55+ only living. Most live in the hive (center city apartments) and buzz back and forth in eco friendly cars or the bus.
So the coffee maker goes off. The circuit breaker has popped and needs to be reset. So they come and get me to reset it. There are 4 or 5 men, my friends, and they all want to look over my shoulder to see how its done!
Cid, if it had rained I would have drowned standing there with my mouth agog, struck dumb. How in the world do you get a PhD without knowing how to reset a circuit breaker?
I'm trying to start a monthly movie group open to the public. I want to show "How Cuba survived Peak Oil." The leader (read Minister) asks me. "So, what is this Peak Oil stuff anyway?"
A few get it. Most think I'm just a depressive nut case. At work, with my engineer friends, much better.
My explanation is that most people live in a magical world. They don't expect to understand so they don't evaluate. No analysis. _________________ When going through hell, keep going! Churchill

I don't use checks. Just because the economy is crashing why would I send you anything? Expect the worst just before the New Year. I will send you some greeting though. Have a nice and Happy New Year!

If you can't see that things around you are coming apart at the seams, you are one dumb mofo. The Titanic didn't sink immediately after it hit the iceberg, it had to take on enough water before it sank.

Yes, we all know the economy is getting bad. But rocc told us to stock up on food - and yet, there is still plenty of bread on the shelves at the supermarket. _________________ Abundance - what a concept!
