It's this type of stuff that makes me think that we may actually need a depression. It never dawns on anyone in this country that they may need to personally sacrifice to make things "work". The conservatives blame the unions, the liberals blame extravagant & dumb management. Nobody is talking mean and lean, except some small businesses. I suspect that if things were left to their own, big business in this country would die, while small business would eventually thrive. But the process would be extremely painful short term to everyone... especially those nearing retirement (me!) where 'life' is short term Its happen many times previously in history.......allegedly that's why Antoinette died. People become inured to empathy; have no idea how frivolous their behavior looks. I hold onto the notion that it shouldn't take a revolution or a depression for people to 'get it' but maybe not. BTW I think I figured out how your water heater works. One of my friends has one too. I forgot to ask him.....are your water bills/electric bills higher now that you have this particular tank? If my theory is correct, it takes a lot of energy to keep the coils hot.
