[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9644742, member: 2629"] There are a lot of people making dumb statements. They don't factor in the indirect costs, for example. Last I checked, they print books. Even if printed in the USA, the lumber comes largely from across national borders in order to make those books. Also, they sell to stores that sell games - and we're seeing those retail avenues disappearing - and that is accelerating. Small shops are closing, big retailers like [URL='https://boardlandia.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorPmOF73GAOTJ3W1dtfN7aqcKyCglTyBHdf3Eqed6WztzesximE']Bordlandia are closing.[/URL] Executives say what they can to keep the bonuses coming as long as possible. They tell investors what they need to keep the stock price up as high as possible. When someone has every incentive to lie ... People need to look at this world and see the changes as they occur. They need to stop listening to predictions from biased speakers. We threw integrity out the window in the 80s (or earlier). [/QUOTE]
