They sure are.....when I was a kid I remember when the price of milk went up to 7 cents!!!! and then ten!!! and it was delivered to the door.
I remember thinking at the time "where will it end?" ....I know, I was an odd kid. But it baffled me how everything kept going up. Prices, wages, everything. I figured at some point it had to stop otherwise we would be carrying around wheelbarrows worth of money to buy the milk. Of course I didnt forsee the advent of the plastic fantastic. Now its a rare day that I actually see money at all.
But that thought has never really left me. I still look at society and think "when will it end?" when will the gas run out? How long can world debt continue to grow? Where does the money come from to fund the debt? And what will happen when money is worth nothing? The trade in gold has gone haywire. Maybe someone knows something I don't? Actually, I think lots of people know stuff I don't...hee hee
It will be different for sure....I don't know if its going to be good or bad. The only thing I do know is that there is bugger all I can do about any of it. So I may as well get on with my life.....But to be forwarned is to be forarmed....so the real trick is....how do we get on with life without burying our heads in the sand or letting the problems of the world get on top of us?
Ballance....hmm...still figuring that one out.
