Keep this nugget in mind; the entire '08' crash came from the MBS investment scams being played out of labeling junk as AAA via packaging 4-60% of junk with a sprinkling of AAA kind of like a nice cream-cheese frosting on top of a big cow-pie.

Fun times ahead Andrew,We have a ton of cheese ready if the mice get hungry heheLooking forward to buying up a storm if S#*% hits the fan :)The rich get richer mate agreed with you 100%It's the smaller folks that will get hit and not the big boys with hundreds of units.Much success.

Thats a very personal thing, what is the best way to leverage for me is going to be as uniquely different for us as is what sock is best, or what is the best topping for a burger, there is such an endless array of potential means to achieving such that the "best" way is very dependant upon the person's perception.

Maybe considering pulling out actually.You make it sound so terrible mate :)I won't accept your cheese baskets anymore haha

Burger King wasn't competing with Mcdonalds their first year.

It is better to lose the cheese and get out of the trap.

Sounds like we need to get together at Matt's Rancho Martinez and make this a fun REI thing with nacho cheese!

McDonalds would not sell many burgers if people walked in, ordered a burger, paid for it and then had to pay the cook for his time. 

You're going to have PhDs flipping burgers and selling you shoes in the mall, thus driving up wages and causing inflation (further driving up the cost of health care).In short, there's just no such thing as a society where -- no matter how hard everyone works and studies -- everyone that works hard will be able to afford expensive health care.

If you get a McDonalds burger today at $5, and tax's go UP $1 on burgers guess what, your burger will be increased in price $1.20, making it $6.20.
