  1. But surely many of us do exactly this! Or not?
  2. Many places get that level every time it rains: live with it!
  3. I am a lot higher than that, but how does that help when the ground floor is cut-off by flooding? Keeping your toes dry is not much use if there is no food, etc., available 30 floors up, is it?
  4. BUT It’s not dying that costs a lot of money!
  5. Wow! Such people get less than I do: how amazing.
  6. An 89-year old’s question: how did you work that out?
  7. They can get it, but at a cost! Thete is no such things as “coverage from the NHS” as it is not an insurance system.
  8. Some of that 4 million would, in many countries, be taxed at 40 or 59%. So how is this related to working?
  9. But is it necessary, anyway, to declare such remittances to the Thai tax system?
  10. Thus Gold is only at all valuable because it is valuable, in a totally artificial market. Some Other things are valuable due to their being needed to produce value by doing or making useful things happen!
  11. All these charts totally fail to take into account how useful a Troy Ounce of each commodity actually is! Just because two things are metals, it does not follow that comparing equal weights is at all meaningful, does it? Why not also similarly compare the price of Helium or Caviar per Troy Ounce!
  12. Did the earth change thus, and so recently??
  13. In what sense is the “value” higher? Is this not identical to comparing apples and oranges? In that a given quantity of one metal (measured b6 volume, by mass or by ??) may be totally different in untility compared with another metal. Rarity is far from the only thing that makes metals valuable! see, for example, . . . Left to the student.
  14. How do you know this? Did it in ts r do so?
  15. Not for condo owner-occupiers, surely! Most do not have a housebook, only a TM30.
  16. Sounds good: your memory agrees very much with the historical record.
  17. No it is not. And why is the US treaty relevant??
  18. Mine definitely does not know amy thing about me!
  19. Are you sure: with what regimes are you comparing the rates? I believe that in the good ol’ US of A you do not pay an6 tax on your first 60,000usd per annum of income!!
  20. In what sense “rhetorical”?? It seemed to be more like cynical humour— a very different genre, no?
