How perfectly depressing for anyone who grew up on LATOC and then had the church of doom implode around them. But can we PLEASE stop pretending it is an oil thing, maybe we can just dream up some other nonsense and stay away from the hard working folks who made sure that the chemical feedstocks that allow all the folks who kept you alive to go to work everyday, keeps on doing what they do, because they do it far better than the likes of Matt Savinar ever understood oil, oil related collapse, or whatever else an astrologist understands about the hard sciences of making the world run.ReserveGrowthRulzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719281366071354141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-34606100137996993812014-09-11T14:31:42.777-04:002014-09-11T14:31:42.777-04:00I'm glad you are up and blogging again -- I...I'm glad you are up and blogging again -- I've missed reading the blog, even though I didn't know why.

Those loans will be repaid, at the detriment to future mortgage, credit cart, and car loan debt.
