But I know if I had it, I'd be spending it for something to improve life with...besides just my ownself. Shall we start with baby diapers some 40 years ago..disposable ones...I was makign them back then and givign them for baby gifts... they are just now getting around to the idea of propane fireplaces in RV's...I can remeber listening to everyone "laugh" at me when I said that's what they really needed some 35 years ago for an luxury item. I've designed what I felt two places I worked at needed to up production...and they went out an put it in an different place then where I was working, take that back..one place, I left the other before it got put in. I also suggested some 33 years ago, completely enclosed back yard green houses....with electronic sliding back openings for when you wanted fresh air. If indeed "Eve" is corect that she went out the other day in Florida to the store and on the way home it was raining dirty dusty droplets she thought, and turned on her windshield wipers to find it "oil" they may need them someday to live there(Gulf coast)...we all might.... as this oil takes to the ocean current, goes up the eastern seaboard and over to England...with that so called loop current...and Hurricane season starts in two weeks...it's made it to the mashes down in Florida now. Eve said her whole house smelled like oil by the time she got her car in the garage...she was worried about food crops and animals...about all you can do is create your own "bio-sphere" enviorement to live in. I thought of it many years ago in conjunction to the chemtrailing of the skies....an little "bubble" over your back yard...leave your front yard open to the enviorment as it is. I am also an advocate of low flying air veihcles, like the one some kid developed from Davis, California many years ago....they would litterally stop all fatal head on crashes, all accidents sliding off the road, two-seater...bigger then an sky born air back-pack, but smaller then an air craft, they hover sort of from place to place in ways...they can drive on standard roads or an few feet above them. So you see some "drunk" headed straight at you, push an button on the dash and immediately go up into the air about 6 feet...let the other guy drive under you and your both safe. Might work well for not going off bridges by mistake also...or in roads you run into that are flooded...to deep to drive through. I see an lot of trememdously good uses for having them. Once the car industry can stop focusing on "profits" and stop making stuff unaffordable to everyone they will be rolling in money. I feel no automobile should be over $15,000 top dollar,(at least not for the general everyday public) as our wages don't support turning them over constantly to keep companies in business otherwise...by buying newer models. Figure it out...say you make monthly payments of $100..that would be an turn over of an newer car about every five years for most people. I can reember when new cars in the late 50's were about $3,000 to buy...not the current $25,000 to $65,000 range.Not only that, but with all the destruction these days in the ways of floods/landslides/tormadoes..you name it... people would not lose so much money on them..nor would the insurance companies have so much ot pay out if they didn't cost so much. Over pricing of goods vs. wages has caused much of the problems in the world we are having right now. You have to make your "product" easily affordable. They have the technology if they would allow it...just they couldn't force soemthing down out throats that we really can't afford otherwise...and it's all coming back to them right now. |
