> Layoffs and Closings in Bushworld

The other thing I wanted to say is that today's world economy affects each 
of us in our work, our purchase costs, our quality of life. Jobs are 
moving, laws are changing, technology is empowering, production is waning 
and waxing all over the world, some up and some down. As Bill Clinton 
advised years ago, workers should expect and prepare themselves to change 
jobs many times over their working lifetime. My view on appropriate 
planning has not changed. Make the money where you can, pay off your land 
loan, learn skills, buy tools, become as food and energy independent as 
possible. Don't pay interest except on real estate and education. Let the 
rest of the world live in fear and frenzy. Live the homestead life.
