“He then notes that with house prices rising by roughly $1 billion this year, this would imply an increase in consumption of between $50 and $80 billion”

I think you meant Trillion there …

Nicely written; rec’d

Can’t read it all right now, but it is good so far.

that was great!

Wow. Three socks. Very impressive.

LOL — actually, ROTFLMAO

Now I’m up to speed ;->

while i typed i think dakine01 answered some questions …
is dakine01 an agent of firedoglake.com?

This censoring “business” is NOT best practice, and reflects VERY BADLY on Firedoglake.

I agree with and second everything DWBartoo said. I was extremely interested in the content, including the 45 comments, at: http://my.firedoglake.com/barefootaccountant/2012/10/05/progressives-are-in-need-of-a-supportive-webblog-in-which-to-communicate-and-organize/ I infer that firedoglake.com is establishing itself as the opposite of a-supportive-webblog-in-which-to-communicate-and-organize … To older members than I: Do these things usually [...]

The essence of “schooling for capitalist discipline,” as I see it, is twofold: Subordination to a hierarchy … Production for production’s sake …

Very, very nice article! You get down to some of the nitty-gritty that most won’t even acknowledge. I loved that you at least mentioned Paulo Freire and that “a third, much smaller, class [...]

Too vague and confusing.

To many folks “privatize” means … maybe someday I’ll be rich and I will make profits from this … maybe those lazy minorities and immigrants will die off … doctors will work harder if they only cure rich folk …

I am guessing you have an affinity for wolves …

It might not be PC, but I would kill a human rather than a wolf. (In case bolding “Not nearly enough, in my book” was too vague.)

Random fact: It has been documented that the presence of wolves increases natural vegetation. Gray wolves are beneficial to vegetation as deer, elk and moose will avoid gullies, gulches and dead-end canyons if they sense that wolves could populate the area; thereby allowing young seedlings and underbrush to grow.

… killing could result in a fine of up to $100,000 and a year in jail. (Not nearly enough, in my book.)

Nice to see ya’ captain, I agree that I see no hope in Romney and Obama … What is dismaying is I see little acknowledgement from the far left either. Let me cut and paste a couple of comments from the other website this was posted at: Loozerio:

Grey Wolf, great article, my friend. Nucor Steel [...]

What we need to figure out is how to connect up folks who can do stuff with the stuff that really needs to be done.

Exactly. Kinda’ what I’m working on … All around I see empty stores, and I know of job training programs, and I can find investors — but I just want to [...]

“Mitt Romney Extols Chinese Women Working For ‘A Pittance’ Behind Barbed Wire Fences” http://crooksandliars.com/karoli/mitt-romney-extols-virtues-chinese-women-wo

… what we have is “so unique we’re sharing it with the world.” That magic unique thing would be what, exactly? Exploiting women and making them work for nothing so billionaires become mega-billionaires? What is that magic unique thing we’re sharing with the [...]

Thanks and recommended

thanx.

Sorry, I may not have been clear… My point is that Mr. Gruzalski is stating that Jill Stein “promises a Manhattan-project jobs program that would ignite our economy” and create jobs at companies such as Koch industries, therefor creating more profits for the owners of Koch industries. It seems beyond obvious that such a course [...]
