Anyone read "Fantasy Island"?

[Charles Foster Kane]

Yes I've read it.

It talks about the illusions we have about our country - employment, growth, the environment, public services... and especially the "stable economy".

It's a bit depressing in a way because all those chickens have got to come home to roost one day.

Don't worry about it:

“Generally speaking, reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” Albert Einstein

Is your avatar a picture of you Wendigo?

You're right. Wealth is relative.
I would consider myself rich if I could retire tomorrow and live comfortably for the rest of my life.
I would suggest that a country which has a large and growing trade deficit is poor.

I believe any measure of wealth should always include a metric of 'uncontrolled time'. This is time upon which there are no demands. You may choose to use it for your hobby, for your family or simply to do nothing - but it belongs to you and you only. Time is the truest most scarce resource.

[Charles Foster Kane]

Here we go again...

Oh, has that been done then?
