If you use Psycho too much — although your damage per turn is much improved — you stand the chance of becoming reliant on it.

Yes they have. I’m not sure if the new Aldi kept its prices artificially low when first opening, but I keep track (tight budget) and chicken went from $1.49/pound less than a year ago to $2.79/pound. That’s a significant increase, and I’ve seen that in other foods as well.

Can’t complain, though. We eat better than we have in years thanks to Aldi.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

[Lazamataz]

It’s not a game.

It’s a Future-Documentary.

Because war.

War never changes.

When I got this assignment, I thought there’d be more gambling.

[Slambat]

Wasn’t it those righteous nose in the air Canadian’s that were
bragging about how their economy was stronger than ours during
the housing bust and the Obama depression?

Don’t be surprised, they are just showing us one again
how to do it right.

Canaduh.

[bgill]

Just like prices are always higher in Alaska and Hawaii.

[Lazamataz]

We won’t go quietly. The Legion can count on that.

[Billthedrill]

War actually gets better. I mean, a bayonet charge against a fixed position where they’re shooting 2-oz mini balls at you? No way, Jose. But a city-wide nuclear Armageddon with a 50-megaton nuke? Kewlz. And don’t even start me about the zombies.

[Godebert]

Our U.S. national debt is heading for $20 billion (plus maxed out private and other debts), and we’re heading for worse trouble than our neighbors just to the north.

$20 Billion? If only we were so lucky. Try $20 Trillion.

[Lazamataz]

No.

[SkyDancer]

Fifteen dollars for cereal? Frosted Flakes? Oh, never mind, imported food item.

[Caipirabob]

I don’t want to hear you complaining ‘Oh, Mr. Masterson, I forgot my one of a kind plasma cannon, can’t we turn back?

I have got to try Fallout 4 soon...

[Billthedrill]

I had a condo there one time. Hadda sell at a loss. :-(

Don't let the international trade/services interests or odd displays of nationalism fool you, folks. It's not only a problem in the northern territories. Food is very high priced in retail stores in cities of Ontario. Don't ask residents there. See for yourself firsthand.

And BTW, nearly everything is much higher priced up there than here when the Canadian dollar is low. And when the Canadian dollar goes up, retailers are very reluctant to lower prices. That's how desperate established business interests are to discourage a higher Canadian dollar for the purpose of re-exporting their imports to the States.

Canada should become more self-sufficient, because the US economy is about to completely collapse. And meanwhile, oil prices will soon skyrocket.

Automotive industry in China

While most of the cars manufactured in China are sold within China, exports reached 814,300 units in 2011.[4]...In 2010, both sales and production topped 18 million units, with 13.76 million passenger cars delivered, in each case the largest by any nation in history.[8] In 2014, total vehicles production in China reached 23.720 million, accounting for 26% of global automotive production.[9]

India is also producing millions of vehicles per year and using them. So are other countries.

Putin Plays Down Russia's Deadly Dependence on Oil & Gas Revenues

Russia's federal budget is reliant on commodities revenues - according to official data, commodities contribute around 60 percent of the federal budget; in reality, that number is closer to 75--80 percent as much of the service sector depends on money from oil and gas. _Russia's Oil Luck or Curse

So, Putin claims a 50% dependency. Official data puts the number closer to 60%. And "in reality," the number may be as high as 80%. Or perhaps even more.

Dirty little secret of the biggest investors: Canada is a net energy exporter. That's where the big money will go.

Of interest.

Our future

We were in Vancouver a couple weeks ago. Loved multiplying the Canadian prices times 72% for our true cost.

I'm still at work. My co-workers are starting to look at me very strangely.

It's OK, though. I'm going cannibal early.
