At the risk of mixing apples with oranges, in case anyone here is interested in some TA (of an EW variety) view of the housing market, this may warrant a look: Message 22139179 You may want to take a look at the chart by CS - to which I am replying...

People are very irrational Vosilla - they often do things for social or other reasons that are very detrimental because they have bought into the WRONG MEMES for survival - have you read any Jared Diamond? He talked about nordic folks that lived among the eskimoes but they wouldn't eat fish for some reason and kept trying to raise cows - so thier society died and they starved to death eating their last cows down to thier hooves - while the eskimoes kept eating fish and lived on - check this out - unfuggingbelievable! marginalrevolution.com Foregone Pareto improvements? Tyler Cowen In Kenya, four million people are facing hunger due to severe drought. A New Zealand dog food manufacturer offered to donate 6,000 emergency packs of dog food mixture to help feed Kenyan orphans. A Kenyan government spokesman said: "We appreciate the offer, but we dismiss it as culturally insulting." That is from Mahalanobis, courtesy of Silly Economist. February 5, 2006 at 07:20 AM in Food and Drink \| Permalink \| TrackBack (0) Me and one of my bum friends were starving to death out in the woods camping once - I had brought a few MRE's - I whipped mine out and ate that stuff and boy was it good and nutritious - beef terryaki - that fugging fool looked at me and said I am not eating anything like that - only GOOD FOOD for me - lets go back into town and find a KFC - dumb fugger - my jaw was gaping in amazement - he died a few years later - weak heart I am told, I bet from lack of proper nutrition - food all around him but he was too GOOD to eat it if it didn't come from starbucks or red lobster - what an idiot. I meet too many like this Vosilla - my sis will make that house payment for her big nice mcmansion before she will go to the dentist or make a medical payment or what have you (she is shopping at low class target and walmart now for her goods - trying to keep that from the rest of the family - no more macy's and such for her - hehe) - I dont understand it but I am surrounded by "shopping machines" who seem to make very dumb decisions to me to thier own long term detriment. Grace tells me I am a failure because my rent is 240 and my utilities are 50 bucks - I would be successful if my mcmansion payment was 3K and my utility bill 2k right? And if I was within walking distance of a wegmans where the aggregate real estate values, taxes, and rents are probably much higher than most places I have lived. Unbelievable how the marketing Dorks have sold so many hook line and sinker on what happiness and success is. I have tried to get my sis to let me take the nieces to some science centers and aquariums and kennedy space center - watch some scifi - they went a long way butchering star trek to make it politcally correct with VOYAGER to attract all these diverse people - what a total failure - I try to get them to perform some science experiments - even to use economics education in thier personal shopping adventures - oh my god she has a problem with this - much better for them to go to gym class and watch fear factor so maybe they can make 50K being an athletic contestant one day - I just can't relate. She gets on the net to watch funny commercials she missed on TV and download martha stewart recipes - no other purpose. BTW sis is a coach for a county rec department - I have suspicions about female coaches though: thesmokinggun.com Keep watching fear factor, I am quite certain one day in the future my nieces will be on there trying to make 50K eating rats and jumping between ibeams because they won't be making money in our knowledge worker/information society :( Ugg why am I so negative? hehe
