  1. Yes I know a bit about that dude. He ranks up there with trump, duterte and others of their ilk IMO.
  2. I can't seem to copy the link. Trading economics places Canada 12th at 6.7 percent, ranking lowest to highest. It states Japan is the lowest with 1.2 followed by China at 1.5, seems pretty low. We are four places above you at 8th at 5.1 percent which is the figure they are quoting here.
  3. Nearly 70 percent inflation 14 percent interest rates Imagine that here in Aus or Canada https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-06/turkey-inflation-soars-to-a-two-decade-high-of-70-per-cent/101043606
  4. Once you stop yourself from caring about all this stuff that's when you want to start sharing Cause all the things we want are cheap or free I define success as not working And I live like a king Mikey B Like Mike I do something I love, in my case growing flowers, so I don't " work " many days. I have never been short of a buck however some of the happiest days of my life were sleeping in the back of my car at Mt.Hotham for six seasons, skiing everyday and hanging out with my friends. The money I saved from having to pay for a room/bed enabled me to sponsor more kids in Africa at the time. I did 20 seasons all up, my friends " dragged" me out of my car, they said I was getting a bit smelly. As for world hunger I believe you are aware I try to do my bit, so I won't go on about it.
  5. Thanks for posting I had heard of Kenwick Man. Do you know about Mungo man ? https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/nov/14/finding-mungo-man-the-moment-australias-story-suddenly-changed

  11. USA USA USA ! This article is for the true military afficiando https://www.military.com/off-duty/2019/07/22/79-cringeworthy-errors-top-gun.html
  12. @Boudrias I also agree that nations outside of Europe should not have got dragged into WW1. For centuries Europeans have been killing each other senselessly for the same pieces of territory. It was as the Allied generals described a war of attrition, the allied generals were willing to sacrifice millions of young men for a few miles of ground. It is true that after WW1 the European powers were weakened however the US never became a global superpower until they profited from both sides of the conflict in WW2. WW2 was different. We are talking about the greatest evil this world has ever seen. The US " charged" for their help in fighting the greatest evil this world has ever seen and they made money from the Nazi's who perpetrated that evil. I have provided evidence of this which you seem to have ignored. Oh and by the way my father lived through the depression in England, his parents were dead and he and his sister lived on a few spuds a day for weeks on end. So I have heard from from a first hand source how hard it was for some people back then.
  13. The ultimate world event. https://www.carbonbrief.org/un-land-report-five-key-takeaways-for-climate-change-food-systems-and-nature-loss The figures in this article are staggering. The world we have created and are passing on to future generations.
  14. I was rather dubious however surely they have done their math, weight of boosters, power of helicopter. Will be interesting to see the end result.
  15. Dunno if you know but a pretty effed up Gibby Haynes from the butthole surfers sang this song with Ministry Being a Drummer I think you will appreciate the lead into the song
  16. The wait is over https://www.inverse.com/science/james-webb-space-telescope-first-images As a famous physicists old band sang, Things can only get better.

  20. If I could I would give this post a million " likes". As you state he is a true wordsmith. All their albums are great however that first one was simply brilliant. Top ten for me. Thanks for posting those words. Every time I read/ sing them I get emotional.
