Even if someone gave us the Bel Air mansion or the $40M apartment in NYC, we would have to find a buyer immediately. There is no way we could afford to live there. Property taxes alone will eat you alive. Add to that the cost of utilities (electricity, water etc) plus other costs to maintain it. I am, of course assuming all of us here are financially middle class. If there is someone here whose income is high enough, please let us know.

Have any of you guys been to New York City. It's terrible! It's very overcrowded, people on the street are like ants. I even saw apartments that are so high they're barely visible from the ground. Only an eagle could live there.

Alberta: The End of Dirty Oil?
The long oil sands boom in Alberta has come to an end. Falling oil prices are leading to thousands of job losses - which has started a serious conversation in the labour movement about transitioning away from oil to renewables.

Vincent Mignerot (in French) holds a conference at Sciences Po about the probable collapse of the industrial civilization - And What to do in the face of this probable collapse.
For Mignerot you can do 3 things:
- Reduce your income to lower your ecological footprint and stop pumping resources
- Give a part of your salary to those who need money in poor countries.
- work with your hands (replace the work of the machines by human work, implement a new agricultural model, use a bicycle instead of a car...).

Humbert didn’t like the largest flat of New York. And I don’t like it either. It’s too small for all the users of the forum and too expensive.
In this video, you can see the largest abandoned hotel of Japan.  We can also have a tennis court and a lake for free. I imagine we could go there with Maher, Vasudev and usman.

When we talk about China right now, we only talk about the protests in Honk Kong. But a more serious crisis is taking place in China.
One doesn't appreciate the magnitude and importance of the role pork plays in the Chinese diet until you spend a bit of time over there. The meat is so widely consumed, and such an integral part of so many beloved Chinese dishes, that one begins to take for granted that the default protein on menus is pork. But since April 2018, 40% of the pig population of China died, due to the swine fever.
This dramatic decline in pork production in China is contributing to a global shortfall in meat supplies that is expected to drive pork, chicken and beef prices higher into next year.

1 in 3 American is obese and 18% of Americans are going to die prematurely because of this, according to recent studies. The Boss of Coca Cola is probably much more dangerous than the caliph Baghdadi. And the obesity epidemic is spreading almost everywhere in the world.

Compared to gold, silver is pretty cheap. In 2019, gold prices have outpaced silver prices to the topside (+18% vs +16%). But silver prices have started to make a number of key technical breaks to the topside. In 2020, silver could still constitute a good investment.
