Am I wrong? 100% wrong In case you are really curios... the education in what constitutes money (for Me) is the Mises Institute. The Book by Ludwig von Mises The theory of Money and Credit lead to learning about how the Federal Reserve was created....That led to lots of other readings..Most recent/last read book 4-5 years ago?? cant remember is The Death of Money...The coming collaps of the monetary system by James Rickards....

Then I could just blithely go about life without imagining all the bad things that could happen with this virus. One big problem with being at home and doing all the yard work, furniture building, fixing things that have needed fixing for a while, etc. is that I'm invariably finding that I need to go to the hardware store for a few things to get the jobs done, and I ain't willing to go to the hardware store. You have to really think about just how important ANYTHING you seem to need is. snagged in outlet 3 and fishinwrench 2

Slightly more deadly if you have underlying conditions like Diabetes, Heart Disease, or Respiratory issues. It tends to cause pneumonia in more advanced cases, which lead to complications compounded by the underlying other disease. Wash your hands and avoid close human contact. Wear your mask, it may help.

You have to really think about just how important ANYTHING you seem to need is. Well if your IQ was higher you could figure out ways to fix things without little trinkets from the hardware store. You're stuck in the middle. I think that's where the cliche, "just smart enough to be dangerous", came from. 😂

What more can you tell us??? Hanging by your every word, it's. . . . .. it's so recklessly exciting, I feel like I'm ready to run naked through Lowe's with a mask on and browse the aisles and go to Starbucks with my laptop, and go to Costco and tell everybody the good news that its safe to come out, its safe to come out, we are all needlessly afraid!

Good on you for reading a best seller. Seems a little doomsday-ish . . . . and we could well be on our way there. I don't know anything about the Mises Institute, but I have a feeling anyone named Ludwig, within just a few turns of the page . . . .would make efficient work of scaring the crap out of me. And the Federal Reserve could very well be revealed as satan worshippers, which would cause equal alarm. But bad as that could be, neither of those two entities, Mises Institute, or the animal-sacrificing Fed Reserve Board, . . . . frighten me quite nearly as bad as the runaway train we now have in charge!
ColdWaterFshr Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 Also, N9 - you had 2 misspellings. Curios. And Collaps. These are deeply concerning as well.

Shopped at Lowe's and Manards for several hours Thursday without a mask, but fully clothed with some thermal underwear. The place was at Max compacity for new regs and mask usuage was about 50%. No infomercial here, just passing along the advice of several doctors I have consulted. And actually getting out in the world each day observing what is going on instead of watching it on CNN. Being essential, the wife and I have performed daily functions as normal. The only changes have been no haircut, can't find lodging where I normally stay, and one set of Grandkids have been isolated from us due to the Dad having one of the underlying conditions.
