Tax on the poor?: What's the cause of USA inflation?
Not to forget my dear friends. John Maynard Keynes developped a truly remarkable economic system to keep "economic growth" in balance over time. - During economic downturns, the state will borrow money to "soften" downturns. Once the (inevitable) recovery takes place, the borrowed funds will be repaid. A brilliant concept. Unfortunately: During economical upswings, the borrowed monies were never paid back. Under these circumstances, Keynes model of long-term economical equilibrium never had a chance. -

Do you think Air Travel is safe these days?
It's safe if you restrict your flights over Russia and its environs. -

I can't stop thinking - My mind is constantly busy - Looking for the answer .
Many years ago, I suffered with debilitating bouts of PTSD. Many medicine cocktails had little to no effect. After some time, my treating psychiatrist suggested I try meditation. Changed my life!!! I understand many Buddhist Temples, in the larger touristy areas, offer meditation training in English. Worth a try. -

Is Earth round or flat❓
I'm not sure you are aware of the nature of reality. In another post you thought you were making a valid point by saying if gravity is strong enough to hold water on the planet, how can a tiny little bird fly? Well, easy. Water is made up of very tiny, very light things called molecules. I'm sure you've heard of them. Of course even those are made up of smaller atoms, which are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, some of which are made of quarks and muons. Anyway, gravity acts on individual particles, and despite gravity being a weak force, it's strong enough to attract the extremely light molecules. As I noted in an earlier post, each molecule is on a force vector aimed at the Earth's center of mass, and these force lines are not parallel. Thus, bodies of water can stay on the surface of a spherical planet. Sometimes a photon smacks into some water molecules and has enough force to break the bonds between atoms and molecules, and you get something called evaporation. Heated air, which means the air molecules are moving quickly, can also hit H2O molecules and have enough energy to break bonds and cause evaporation. A tiny bird is also made up of molecules, but they are joined together by other forces of nature, so gravity cannot pull any of them away and disintegrate the bird, nor can photons or rapidly moving air molecules, unless the bird is moving through air at extreme speeds. The bird, however, has muscles that create lift, so that it can essentially make itself 'lighter than air', and fly, overcoming the weak gravitational force. Birds have a service ceiling, just as airplanes do. Once the air is too thin, their wings and efforts cannot overcome the force of gravity, and they fall back to where the air is dense enough so that controlled flight is possible. Sometimes aircraft end up going into a flat spin, and can never regain lift after exceeding their service ceiling, and gravity brings them crashing to Earth. -

I dunno.... does quantum entanglement make sense to you? Perhaps it's time to incorporate a greater measure of faith in my worldview. -

No minibus in airport
This is what my taxi driver told me when I got a lift airport-Rawai last year at 10:30pm. He said if he tries to get fares during traffic times he can only get one as he is stuck for hours. Late nights, early mornings, sleeps at peak traffic hours.
