My comments are relevant to most bankrupt business and/or government administrators or regulators who would attempt to live in a remote area without amenities from utility companies (fall of the middle class) for at least three years (for any who would try it for less time and give useless advice to others). These comments are also more relevant to the article posted above this thread and the general economic situation (fall of the middle class).

What real, tangible, useful things can most members of the contemporary middle class build, make or repair? The answer is next to nothing. Very few of them are technically capable at building anything other than script-kiddie-like software.

Some people like myself are very technically inclined, have much experience and are sometimes very generous with information and physical help. I can build and repair just about anything useful (to codes) several miles from the nearest power lines in one of the harshest climates in our country or elsewhere.

Some people respect those capabilities. Others disrespect us and gossip spite at our abilities, even as their vainglorious, counterproductive Rome fails yet again to become much of an empire.

You really enjoy babbling to yourself, don't you?

Keep it up, then!

Being able to make and repair actual things is going to be useful when the .gov pension Ponzis implode.
