***Wholesome, healthy food is not too expensive, it is merely more expensive.
Bad food is another
result of Nixon going completely off the gold standard in 1971... we have more
to eat, but the quality
has dropped to the point that the #1 health problem of USA poor is obesity.***

***There used to be... one of the largest landowners on Mercer Island is the
Gull Trust, a family that
used to own a dozen or so "Gull Gas Staions" in the Pac NW... The change in
regulations in the 90's
wiped out the last of small family gas and refinery companies, so that we now
have only big oil
companies. Get big or get out is coming to housebuilders with the next bust.***
