    Anyone can program a computer these days. You are damn stupid, and I am glad that by 2018-2020, you will no longer be permitted to live in a regular house without paying exorbitantly high periodic fees. By 2020, The nations in the EU will no longer premit the construction of regular homes as we know them now, instead you will live in zero carbon super compact apartment cubes. Suffer.

    the first comment shows exactly how little you know about programming, if anyone can do it why are you a pizza deliverly boy? why is noone paying you good money to program?, possibly because you are a brain dead doper with the social skills of a dead woodchuck as for the rest i cannot comment because I havent read that piece of scifi, but from this side it would be more likely that Mr O will have you in your lovely cubes well before us ( assuming that China hasnt evicted you all from North America for non payment of debts)

    You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

            Are you still doing drugs? Of course there will be regular houses that conform to the zero carbon standards - they are already in existence. Strangely, many look very similar to traditional houses, because that is what the market demands. There are buyers who like a HiTec look, but most don't. Developers have been building city centre "super compact apartment cubes" for wannabe yuppies from before the term yuppie was coined, and well before anyone cared about carbon footprints. Again, market forces.

                There was some discussion here of Minimum Wage. No, it was gold versus fiat currency (yet again :rolleyes:). Captain SeeVee stated that $1 dollar in gold coinage was the equivalent of $25 now. It was pointed out to him that 20c per hour would be $5 per hour now. To which he replied "I'd die to make that much money right now."[^]. Thus, he actually earns less than $5 per hour. [Edit: Link added and context corrected.]

                    Most of this seems like a smart article. Too bad the guy tacks such dumb comments about gold at the end. Gold is a metal. It has inherent value only because we agree it has. The limited supply makes it different to money, I agree. But it is just as able to drop in value as money is, because it's value is just as tenuous and just as reliant on the person you want to give it to, agreeing with you that it has a value that it has for no other reason than happening to be gold. It's not the same as, say, a car, which has a value based on what it does. Gold doesn't do anything.

                      If you have any leftover wealth after buying food, water, and ammo, then you want to invest it in gold and silver. Look at history before you disregard gold and silver. Those with gold and silver still have their money after the chaos is over.

                          There's no reason to think gold is a BAD investment, and it's value climbs in times of uncertainty. But it only has value because people agree it does. It has no real value, that is, not to cover what people pay for it.

                                Ok so you didnt get the job delivering pizza, better luck next time. Plagerism off a web site does not make you a software engineer, niether does flipping burgers make you a chef. You are a complete waste of oxygen, the world does not need you and would be better off without you, your obnoxious abusive posts will not be missed, and frankly the average IQ of your state would increase without you. oh and a message from Ron Paul - "Please stop supporting me you are managing to destroy all i am working for, your support is discrediting all the important ideas I am trying to get across"

                                You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start

                                  you can imagine him as a corpse surrounded by gold that no one will accept for food (well actually he would still be unlikely to have any gold even if it became virtually worthless based on his worth to society)

                                    It is a good medium of exchange and a safe store of wealth, as is silver. Paper is not a safe store of wealth.

                                    Only if the people around you assume it has wealth. The Mayans, for example, had a successful society that did not regard gold highly at all.

One thing is for sure - if gold holds it's value because it has value, traditionally, there is no reason to assume that the same should not also be true for money, in fact, the argument for gold and for cash holding value to the degree that they do today, are basically the same, and neither is more or less tenuous than the other. The gold standard was tenuous when it was removed, b/c not enough gold was held then to actually back it up. The US was off the gold standard long before it was a conscious decision.

                                      Yes, his zero chance of having gold is one of the more amusing things about all of this.

                                          Obviously the world today considers Gold and Silver as wealth or they would not be buying it, and central banks would not have vaults full of it.
