Bill, some say Hitler ended-up in Argentina (courtesy of The Vatican) = bones & teeth in a Bariloche grave and maybe not Berlin? Also EDF are in further trouble due to shutting down one fifth of France's 56 Nuclear Reactors due to corrosion problems in the safety cooling systems (a further echo of your point on income-related investment in preventive maintenance). Germany is also closing down its reactors for idealogical reasons. All this with a European winter still in full swing and Russia waiting for the call to send its gas through its new pipeline to the failing experiment called the EU and then apply political pressure by controlling the main energy supply.

First thing to get off my chest, I did like your previous format better, too many hoops to jump through here. Anyways, CNBC today had a woman on this am proclaiming loudly the entire planet must eventually get "vaxed", and that government SHOULD be getting a bigger role in our lives. The compliant no push back hosts were only too happy to let her talk. That's #1. Now the inflation today compliments of our governments deficit spending and money printing, does not seem to be a problem to these enlightened media people. Perhaps that's all in the plan for our digital future, trash the currency, and let's try another experiment. Who learns anything?
